Your travel wallet is beautiful, I can see why you want to make sure you can keep using it! So I searched my apartment and couldn't seem to find anything that was 9.5 inches without being super wide as well![]()
I do think that the wallet will fit, but it would have to be placed flat at the bottom of the bag or have it at the bottom and pressed up against one of the sides. The zipper opening is only about 8.5 inches (photo below, sorry couldn't hold the tape measurer and take the photo at the same time!). I believe the measurement from the website is for the bottom of the bag. You'll have to angle the wallet in and out.

Overall, I do think it will fit, but it will be tight and I think it will be cumbersome to get in and out. It could be okay if you're only using that wallet while in the process of traveling, but I don't think I'd want to deal with getting it in and out on a daily basis.
Here's some pics wearing it (I'm 5'3'' and size 0-2. I have the strap as short as it can be for crossbody. At 5'6'', you shouldn't have any trouble finding a length you like).

I think the 25 and 30 sizes both have their pros and cons (not helpful in deciding, I know). I was confident that the 25 was the right size for me because it is very similar in size to the purse I have been using the past couple years for day-to-day and for travel. I do wish the zipper opening was just a bit wider though. Let us know which size you decide on!
Thank you so much for putting so much effort in helping me decide. I ordered. Speedy b 25 and hoping the wallet will fit in. As long as it fit in ok, I wont be taking it in and out a whole lot. I normally leave it in the hotel safe to hold passport and my bulk of cash then take a small wallet as I tour. Crossing fingers for a perfect for the 25. I love the look on you, it is such a perfect size!!! The more I look at the modeling picture the more I love 25. I could also easily pull off a 30 if I do have to go with 30. I like it better as a shoulder bag though especially when it is relaxed. But 25 is soooooo cute though! If i have to get a speedy b 30 then i would definitely pick up a classic 25 too. But if speedy b 25 works out, then i just need one ( for now). Lol
