Why did they name it "Speedy"?

Hehe, I can only imagine what I'd say to BF's cat when he comes by and sits beside the Speedy...."Would you love to take a ride on the Express?" LOL!

Just got an e-mail from LV:
"The Speedy was launched in 1930. The original name "Express" was changed to "Speedy", a reference to the development of modern means of transportation and to an always faster way of living. If you have any further questions, please let me know!"

I love it!! Just what we thought it would be, eh?

this is a story i got off a taiwan ebay speedy auction listing...in a movie that was made a long time ago...there was a monogram keepall that was in the shot and then the actress wanted a smaller version of the keepall, one that was soft and could be used for traveling, and also could be folded flat when not in use during a trip...the direct translation of the name of the movie from chinese to english is "Roman Holiday" or "Holiday in Rome"..the actress was Audrey Hepburn...
