Top Louis Vuitton Speedy Alternatives to Shop For

The LV Speedy was introduced in 1930, and it was designed as a compact travel handbag.  

But what if you don’t like the LV monogram? Or you prefer a different brand? 

You’ve come to the right place! Here's your top 5 Louis Vuitton Speedy alternatives to shop for. 

Did Louis Vuitton discontinue Speedy?

Yes and no. The original Speedy without a shoulder strap (bandouliere) is discontinued as it’s not being sold in stores anymore.

But the Speedy Bandoulière (with the strap) is still being sold. The style is a little more rounder than the original.

4. Dior Boston Bag 

While Dior is famously known for their Lady Dior and Saddle Bag, they have a decent amount of Boston Bags to offer.

The main difference beween the Dior Boston Bag and the LV Speedy is the exterior design with Dior’s Oblique canvas or smooth calfskin leather. 

They both have zip-top compartment and rounded profile, dual rolled handles, and clean hardware. 

The Dior Boston Bag offers a more contemporary and sophisticated design language thanks to the Oblique canvas design, making it a great LV Speedy alternative.

5. Miu Miu Arcadie 

If you’re looking for an LV Speedy alternative that isn’t a Boston Bag, then look no further than the Miu Miu Arcadie.

The normal Arcadie is basically like a Fendi Baguette, but only as a handbag. But the small Arcadie size essentially has a Speedy or Boston Bag shape.  

The Miu Miu Arcadie is a great LV alternative if you want an all-leather handbag. It has a boxier shape, but everything else, from the open top zipper to the rolled leather dual handles, is very similar.
