The Louis Vuitton Epi Speedy 35 Handbag Accentuates a Clean/Pristine Look

A two-hour drive from Los Angeles, Desert Hot Springs is the spa town of California and a magnet to those seeking Mother Nature´s version of the ¨Fountain of Youth.”

In 1913, one of the very first homesteaders, Cabot Yerxa, had discovered the healing properties in an area near Palm Springs. The hot springs of Miracle Hill was what struck Cabot´s interest to this small site. The two aquifers are within the foothills of Joshua Tree National Park. A museum in Desert Hot Springs bears Cabot´s name.

Thanks to the San Andreas Fault, one aquifer presents the finest drinking water, while the other is delightful natural hot springs to soak the weary bones.

A friend of Cabot’s, L.W. Coffee, was familiar with all the grand spas of Europe and knew the impact of those seeking an anti-aging healthy retreat.

Being the shrewd businessman that Coffee was, he developed the first spa community for visitors to indulge in the therapeutic mineral waters right in Desert Hot Springs. By 1941, Coffee placed Desert Hot Springs on the map and Hollywood´s finest have a new in” to rejuvenate close to home.

The original Coffee’s Bath House was demolished in 1991, and today there over 21 hot mineral spas and 40 resorts for the visitor to enjoy. Besides dipping into the hot springs, other activities include hiking, biking, ballooning and horseback riding.


The authentic Louis Vuitton Epi Speedy 35 Handbag stresses a very clean/pristine look and will always be a simple yet stylish choice to own. This Louis Vuitton bag works with a business suit, chic dress, or even fashionable jeans.

It is as durable as one could ever find in a handbag by its signature Epi leather. As with the Epi collection, the only indication, besides its signature grained leather, is an embossed LV near the base of the bag.

Blue is not the most common handbag color and the lapis hue to this pre-owned LV Speedy is accentuated by gold tone hardware and LV padlock. The trim is in smooth leather, as is the comfortable carrying double handles. One unusual feature not normally found in the Speedy style is a side exterior pocket.

The bag is extra roomy when opened via its top zip. The LV Epi Speedy 35 is just the right size to use as an everyday bag but works even as a smaller weekend get-a-way bag.

Once inside the fabric lined LV Epi Speedy, a side pocket trimmed in leather is present.

The authentic Louis Vuitton Epi Speedy 35 is functional, chic and emphasizes itself in clear desert air blue, as found in Desert Hot Springs, California.
