THE SPEEDY

The Speedy was first introduced in 1924 in a larger version (The Keepall) that was used to transport linens when travelling. It has gained popularity since then as a practical top-handle handbag that is both durable and convenient to use. It is made in 4 sizes: 10"(25cm), 12"(30cm), 14"(35cm) and 16"(40cm).

THE NOE

The Noe was first introduced in the early 1930's when a champagne house contacted LV to make a bag that would hold 6 bottles of champagne. The bag still serves this function - 4 bottles with the bottom down and the 5th inverted and nestled between the others. However, its bottle carrying capacity notwithstanding, the bag is primarily used as a practical city bag for everyday use. This drawstring bag comes in two sizes - the Noe itself (10" x 13" or 26cm x 34cm, pictured) and the smaller Petite Noe (9" x 11" or 24cm x 27cm). By the way, the name Noe is French for Noah, who was not only famous for loading animals on the Arc two by two, but for his ability to consume wine.
