"“To see Pharrell create these in an array of sherbet-y colors represents everything that makes the Speedy such an essential piece.” “My very first official bag was a Louis Vuitton Speedy, so these bags hold great nostalgia for me,” Yee says. “I had moved to New York for my internship at Vogue, and I felt so excited to own my first official piece of fashion. New to the city, new to fashion, I had the perfect bag to hold everything.”"
"“To see Pharrell create these in an array of sherbet-y colors represents everything that makes the Speedy such an essential piece. It's a bag that'll always exist, and carries great history and heritage. But it's open to newness, freshness, reinvention - not so different than an aspiring fashion editor moving to New York.”"
"“Starting with his debut collection in 2023, he ditched the traditional rigid canvas for a soft, slouchy "LV Buttersoft" leather that moves with you. It's a reinterpretation that hits deep for style insiders, including Bustle Fashion Market Director Jennifer Yee.”"
Oversized luxury bags are becoming a go-to accessory regardless of outfit style, with celebrities and fashion influencers favoring extra-large carryalls. Louis Vuitton’s Speedy P9 stands out as a long-running fashion staple since 1930, supported by fans such as Audrey Hepburn, Sarah Jessica Parker, Rihanna, and Zendaya. Pharrell Williams modernized the iconic barrel silhouette by replacing rigid canvas with soft, slouchy “LV Buttersoft” leather that moves with the wearer. The 2026 lineup emphasizes reinvention through sherbet-like, fruity color options, while maintaining the bag’s history and heritage. The Speedy P9 is positioned as both timeless and adaptable, appealing to newness and personal nostalgia.
