I do have the made in France.
But one thing makes me curious, my friend's made in USA, and when I saw the date code of the made in USA bag, it is located at the left side ( the opposite than mine )

Do all of you who have the "made in USA" speedy also found this?

I don't have any LV Speedys, but all my LVs are Made in France because I'm very picky about that. I believe if the purse is a French brand it should be made in France and not anywhere else. However, I will accept made in Spain too because I feel like it's more exotic and it's imported. An example my husband would give is that it's like you wouldn't want to buy a Ferrari that is made in the USA and not Italy. You just don't feel like it's authentic anymore. Although, I know there's no difference in material and quality of the bags, but that's just my pet peeve. I make sure the bag I want is made in France/Spain and if it's not then I'll wait until they have one that is. The stores always get shipment from France, Spain, and USA so if you care to wait you'll get the one you want.

I have a Damier Speedy 30 and it said made in France. I think normally when LV first launch a new bag, the first batch would be from France. Then as the demand of this bag goes higher, LV starts to make the bag in either USA or Spain.

Hi me too I own a Damier Speedy 30 made in France but I want to make sure is authentic because it is burnt orange inside and I have read that they should be red. Any advise??

I just bought a speedy over the weekend, and now I realized that it's made in USA. It feels different from the my LVs previously purchased (made in France). The handle is super hard..... to the point where it left a mark on my arm from carrying it just to go to dinner........ the SA at the boutique told me the hardness will go away after use, now I wonder if it's a difference between made in USA vs made in France? I don't remmeber having this issue at all from my french made bags.......

I just bought a speedy 30 in damier ebony. I didn't remember to check at the store. I was disappointed to find out it is Made in U.S.A. at home. I am thinking of returning it.

I don't care where it's made as long as it's the quality that I'm looking for. I have and have had a lot of LV handbags, both Monogram and Epi, and also have two Keepalls and two hardsided, Bisten suitcases.

I bought 95% of my Vuitton pieces in France and one of my suitcases in Copenhagen. The majority of the pieces that I own were bought in the 1980s and were made in France.

I have several more-recent pieces bought in France, Honolulu, and Costa Mesa,California at the Vuitton store at the South Coast Plaza mall. I don't know where they were made. I didn't look. I just know that they are made in the quality that I expect of Vuitton.

As for U.S. made, there has been discussion since either the late 80s or 90s about LV bags being made here in the U.S. I remember discussion, back in the 90s and also recently that LV is made right here in L.A. County. Now whether that is true or not, I don't know. But, about two summers ago, I was in the Beverly Center, here in L.A., and there was a display bag in the LV window with an obvious, "Made in USA" tag on it. Great. it's providing American workers with jobs!

As far as Vuitton quality, since I have bought it regularly since my first handbag in 1980, I have noticed that my monogram vinyl seems thicker than on some of the bags that I've seen that came out of the 90s and also now.
