LV Speedy 30 vs 35: which size carries what
The Speedy 30 is 30 x 21 x 17 cm and the Speedy 35 is 35 x 23 x 18 cm: 5 cm wider, 2 cm taller and 1 cm deeper, taking the box from 10,710 cm³ to 14,490 cm³, 35% more. Both are zip-top cylinders; the 35 is the first tier published as a laptop-and-clothing load.
This is the pair buyers compare when the question has changed from whether a tablet fits to whether a laptop does. The 30 is the working-day tier; the 35 is the one whose published fit note names a 13-inch laptop, clothing and a weekend load, which is a different job for the same shape.
The figures here are the published rows for both tiers: 30 x 21 x 17 cm and 35 x 23 x 18 cm, read as width x height x depth. The 30 figure is the same one the site's Speedy Soft 30 page publishes; the 35 row sits directly above it in the same Speedy ladder.
Both sides of this comparison are published figures from the same records the model pages use, so the centimetres here and the centimetres there cannot disagree.
Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 vs Louis Vuitton Speedy 35: published sizes side by side
Published width, height and depth for both tiers, with the inch conversion and the difference between them.

Inches are the same centimetres divided by 2.54 and rounded to one decimal, exactly as on the model pages, so no page on this site carries a second set of inch values. Box volume is arithmetic on the three published figures (width × height × depth) — it is a scale comparison, not a published capacity rating, because a rounded or slouched body never fills its own box.
Capacity: what fits in each one
Five centimetres of width on a cylinder is mostly opening width, and the opening is what decides whether a laptop slides in without being angled.
The 30 is a working bag rather than a travel bag. Its published fit note is an iPad, documents and light travel packing: a tablet, paper and a pouch go in easily, the zip closes over all of it, and the body still holds its round shape. A laptop is where the 30 stops — a 13-inch machine has to be pushed in at an angle and left no room for anything else.
The 35 is published as a 13-inch laptop, clothing and a weekend load, and that is the tier's whole purpose. The extra 5 cm of width is what lets a laptop slide in flat along the base, the 2 cm of height keeps the zip clear of the corners, and the 1 cm of extra depth stops the body ballooning around a hard-edged object.
Louis Vuitton Speedy 30: what people carry
- An iPad or a tablet along the base, with documents and a notebook beside it
- A pouch, a card wallet and keys without stacking on the tablet
- Light travel packing for one night if the load is rolled rather than folded
- Two rolled top handles, with a crossbody strap on the Bandoulière version
Published fit note: An iPad, documents and light travel packing.
Louis Vuitton Speedy 35: what people carry
- A 13-inch laptop sliding in flat rather than at an angle
- Clothing for a weekend, rolled and packed around the laptop sleeve
- Documents and a folder standing in the space the 30 does not have
- The largest cylinder in the classic line short of a Keepall
Published fit note: A 13-inch laptop, clothing and a weekend load.
The two lists above describe how the sizes are carried in practice; the fit notes are the published descriptions that travel with the millimetres in the size records.
Which one suits which buyer
The deciding question here is whether a computer travels with you, because that is the load the 35 is published for and the 30 is not.
Buyers who stay with the 30 are usually carrying a tablet rather than a laptop and want a bag that still looks like a Speedy: round, compact on the shoulder, and easy to open one-handed. It covers a normal working day of paper, a tablet and a pouch, and it does it without becoming a holdall.
The 35 is for buyers who want one soft bag for a laptop and a change of clothes — a commuter bag that also works for a night away. The trade is size: 35 cm across reads as a large bag on almost any frame, so buyers who want the Speedy look first usually accept a separate laptop bag instead.
Choose the Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 if…
- You carry a tablet, documents and a pouch rather than a laptop
- You want the bag to keep the classic Speedy proportion on the shoulder
- Most of your travel is by car or train with a second bag
- You want a zip-top bag that opens wide but stays compact when full
Choose the Louis Vuitton Speedy 35 if…
- A 13-inch laptop travels with you every day
- One bag has to cover both the commute and a night away
- You would rather have the laptop slide in flat than be angled in
- You are choosing the size for capacity first and looks second
Questions buyers ask about the Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 and the Louis Vuitton Speedy 35
Can the Speedy 35 really take a laptop?
Yes — its published fit note is a 13-inch laptop, clothing and a weekend load, which is the load the tier was sized for. The 30 is published for an iPad, documents and light travel packing instead, so a 13-inch machine is where the two tiers separate.
How much larger is the Speedy 35 than the Speedy 30?
5 cm wider, 2 cm taller and 1 cm deeper: 30 x 21 x 17 cm against 35 x 23 x 18 cm. Box volume moves from 10,710 cm³ to 14,490 cm³, a 35% increase, and almost all of the extra width is usable opening rather than body.
Does the round body make a laptop uncomfortable to carry?
A cylinder does not hold a hard, flat object as neatly as a rectangular tote, so the bag slumps around the laptop and the handles take the load. The 35 is published for that load, but if a laptop is carried daily, a structured work bag usually feels better than either Speedy size.
Which of the two keeps its shape better when full?
The 30, because it is usually packed close to its published size. The 35 has 18 cm of depth and a wider body, so a soft canvas Speedy with a laptop in it shows the shape of the computer through the side. Both hold their round line best when the load is soft.
Are both sizes available in the same canvases?
The classic Speedy tiers are published in the same canvas families, and the Soft construction appears at the 30 size in the album record this site publishes. When you message us, naming the tier and the canvas gives us what we need to match the current listings against it.
Album photos at these sizes
Both tiers appear in photo records on this site; each photo below says which bag it is. Photos are album records for the model named in the caption, so nothing here is passed off as the other size.
Where these figures come from

- Louis Vuitton Speedy 30: this page prints 30 x 21 x 17 cm; the model page publishes 30 x 21 x 17 cm.
- Louis Vuitton Speedy 35: no dedicated model page yet, so the family record is the only published figure for this tier.
Inch values are converted from these centimetres; nothing on this page is a measured sample, an average of two records, or a rounded figure from a listing title. Where a family record carries two published values for the same tier, both are printed on the family ladder rather than one being averaged away.
