Louis Vuitton Multicolore Speedy
Just drooling over the Louis Vuitton Multicolore Speedy doesn't have to be all you do, you know. It is quite possible for you to own one of these gorgeous bags yourself, fairly easily.
Available in both and white and black the Louis Vuitton Multicolore Speedy, as it has become known, offers an image of the old travel range of bag whilst still being a practical, useable bag for today!
I mean, let's face it - this bag is stunning. From the golden studs and corner hardware to the rich colors covering the canvas in the Multicolor design, this bag just oozes sexy charisma and quality.
Measuring 11.8" by 8" by 7.2" there is plenty of space and carrying capacity without having to leave anything out. Now don't get me wrong, this is not an overnight, pack everything in bag, as is say a Keepall. But this is the accessory to your going away bag that makes people notice you as you get to where ever you are going!
This is also one of the first bags that the majority of people add to their multicolor collection - along with the Multicolor Pochette.
The Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 Murakami bag is based on the Multicolor Monogram canvas design that was created in collaboration with the Japenese artist Takashi Murakami, famous also for his Louis Vuitton Cherry Blossom range.
As you would expect of Louis Vuitton, all the trim and handles are made from natural cowhide. On the outside of the Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 Murakami Bag is an external pocket with a the S-lock buckle.!
Inside the bag is the Alcantara textile lining, giving you a gorgeous "suede" like texture with much less of the hassle of maintaining suede!
This bag has been made famous for many by it's use by Jessica Simpson in her tv show.
And there in lies a problem you need to be aware of if you are considering buying one. The number of fakes available for this particular item is horrific. If you were to search on Ebay for this particular bag - current estimates would show 90% of those offered are fakes!
The current retail price for the Louis Vuitton White Speedy 30 Murakami Bag is $1,500.00. Note that this limited edition range is not as expensive to buy pre owned as the Cherry Blossom or Graffiti range are - as it is still in production - which keeps the price lower.
What does that mean for you? You can pick up seriously good quality pre owned items like this for a few hundred dollars less than retail. But you CAN'T find authentic items in auctions with a starting price of $1.00 or $99.00 even.
Expect to pay around $1,000 - $1,200 for an authentic pre owned Speedy 30, buy from a recognised source such as a My Poupette Recommended Reseller or an EZBoard Recommended Reseller and you should be quite safe!
