Speedy P9 as a Personal Portrait

Louis Vuitton unveils its new In My Bag project — a series of images and short videos in which the iconic Speedy P9 becomes a personal portrait. Not through posing, but through what’s inside. Ambassadors and friends of the House open their Speedy P9 bags and let the small details speak — the items that usually stay hidden: work essentials, rituals, talismans, habits. The result is an intimate map of a day, a style, a character.

Starring Jeremy Allen White, Jude Bellingham, Future, LeBron James, Jackson Wang, and Victor Wembanyama, the project shows each of them carrying the Speedy P9 as both a bold colour accent and a “capsule” of their own pace. That’s the charm: one model, six completely different worlds.
 
Rooted in Louis Vuitton’s travel heritage yet firmly contemporary, the Speedy P9 reinterprets the original Speedy from the 1930s — long established as a symbol of functional elegance — and adds a new layer: softness, colour, and modern energy. Pharrell Williams introduced the P9 version shortly before his Louis Vuitton debut for the Spring/Summer 2024 menswear collection. The name nods to Paris’s Pont-Neuf bridge — P for pont (bridge), 9 for neuf (nine), and also for “new.”
 
The key material is calfskin selected for its exceptional qualities. It undergoes a double tanning process followed by softening in a tumbling drum, resulting in leather that feels almost buttery to the touch, with a subtly waxed texture that catches the light — and wears beautifully over time.
 
 
And then comes the most intriguing part: the contents.
 
In his green Speedy P9, Jeremy Allen White carries today’s newspaper, a spiral notebook, a cap, a comb, a watch, dice, spare socks, and a charging cable. Jude Bellingham opens his red version to reveal aviator sunglasses, a boarding pass and passport, a team sweater, a bottle of Louis Vuitton Ombre Nomade, and a set of keys with personalised charms.
 

In his blue Speedy P9, Future pairs a tennis racket with jewellery and spare sneakers — alongside a diamond-set gold chain, there are also gummy candies, a small, almost childlike, disarmingly honest detail. LeBron James turns his bright yellow Speedy P9 into a practical kit: golf balls and tees, grooming essentials, and, of course, his signature cap.

Jackson Wang fills his pink version (finished with plush dice) with professional headphones, a family Polaroid, a fencing glove, sheet music, a Rubik’s cube, a mini sneaker, and more personal items. And Victor Wembanyama, carrying a turquoise Speedy P9 adorned with an alien-shaped Monogram charm, packs a mini basketball, a deck of cards, a good-luck talisman, and wired earphones — objects that read like a private code.

Shot by Thomas Lagrange, the project becomes a series of intimate portraits that feel less like a campaign and more like a quiet invitation to look closer. Each Speedy P9 carries the imprint of its owner — a reminder that style often isn’t on the surface, but inside.
