Alright, so, I’ve been eyeing the Louis Vuitton Speedy 25 for a while now. It’s such a classic, you know? But before I dropped some serious cash on it, I really wanted to make sure it was the right size for me. I mean, who wants to carry around a bag that’s too big or too small? Not me!

So I grabbed my trusty measuring tape and started doing some research. I found out that the “25” in Speedy 25 actually refers to the length of the bag in centimeters. Okay, cool, so it’s about 25 centimeters long, which translates to roughly 9.8 inches. That seemed like a decent size, but I needed to see it in action.
I started looking for examples of what people could actually fit inside a Speedy 25. I watched a bunch of YouTube videos and looked at the photos on the internet. Some folks were stuffing their Speedy 25s with wallets, phones, keys, makeup bags, even small tablets! It seemed surprisingly spacious for its size.
Now, armed with this knowledge, I got to measuring some of my everyday essentials. I laid out my phone, my wallet, my keys, a small notebook, and even a little makeup pouch. Then I used my measuring tape to see if they could all comfortably fit within a 9.8-inch space. Guess what? They did! With room to spare, even.
Here’s a little breakdown of what I measured:
- Phone: About 6 inches long
- Wallet: Around 7 inches long
- Keys: On a small keyring, maybe 3 inches at most
- Notebook: A small one, about 5 inches long
- Makeup pouch: Also pretty compact, around 6 inches long
Adding all that up, I still had plenty of wiggle room within the 9.8-inch length of the Speedy 25. And that’s not even considering the height and width, which add even more space. Feeling pretty confident, I decided to take some measurements around the house to get a better sense of the bag’s overall size.

I found a box that was roughly the size of the Speedy 25 – about 9.8 inches long, 7.5 inches high, and 5.9 inches wide. I started putting my stuff inside, and it was like a perfect fit! It was so satisfying to see everything fit comfortably.
After all this, I felt super confident that the Speedy 25 was the perfect size for my everyday needs. It’s not too big, not too small, and it can hold all my essentials without feeling like a bulky mess. If you’re also looking into this bag, doing your own measuring experiment is a good try!
