Thread: Louis Vuitton Black Epi Speedy 30 (+ thrifty thrill alert!)

The Louis Vuitton Epi Speedy 30 is just one of those bags that can best be categorized under a timeless classic. It's the perfect carryall city bag.

What I love most about this bag, besides the shape and over all style is the material. I'm not really a fan of signatures scribbled all over my bag, I prefer the label to be inside or neatly stamped in a clean and simple way, like on the hardware or on the corner. Which is why I love the Epi Line so much. (added to Louis Vuitton 1985)

The famous Speedy style is the little sister of Louis Vuitton's world famous travel Keepall. The classic satchel shape is crafted out of full-grain Epi leather, features a city-proof roomy textile lined interior, accessorized with polished silver metal hardware and topped off with the little "LV" stamp and signature padlock. The measurements are about 12" in length x 8" height.

The retail of the Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 from the Epi line will set you back $1,050. You can find it over at eLuxury.

However, if you don't mind buying a second hand bag, you should totally checkout the Louis Vuitton Epi Speedy's on eBay. Right now there's a dozen or so of this style in a variety of colors, like yummy Mandarin orange, Castillan red, Ivory white, Green, Yellow and more.

And you are not going to believe some of the deals - for example at this moment there are a couple authentic Epi Speedy's with current bids in the $200-range with a buy-it-now's in the area of $405 to $899.

Also, I probably don't have to tell you, but be super careful for fakes. Before bidding, be sure that the user has a high rating, been around for a while, and it's always a plus if they're a My Poupette or eBay PowerSeller.

I love this bag! Thanks for the eBay auctions Jennifer, I am definitely watching these!

black epi speedy is really classy, love it.

Gorgeous bags...but no new bag for me for a while

I'd love to add an Epi Speedy (especially in black) to my collection!

I've always loved the blue speedy, and always stalk ebay for them.

Is anyone else really surprised with the re-sell values? The (previously loved) Epi Speedy's on eBay are going for like 60%+ off...
