Perfect for a stylish weekend escape, this vintage Louis Vuitton Keepall 55 in camel Epi leather adds timeless elegance to every journey. Ideal for an overnight stay or a spontaneous city break, it carries your essentials with ease from departure to arrival.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the Keepall 55? A: As a generously sized weekender (approx. 55 × 31 × 24 cm per this item’s Measurements), it comfortably holds clothing for 3–5 days, a pair of shoes, a toiletry bag and tech essentials. Louis Vuitton describes the Keepall 55 as cabin‑friendly and suitable for a week’s wardrobe; capacity will vary with how you pack.
Q: Is the Keepall 55 carry‑on compliant? A: The 55 size is generally designed as cabin/hand‑luggage size for many airlines. Because policies differ by carrier and route, please check your airline’s current limits before travelling. Its soft‑sided construction helps it fit overhead when not overfilled.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: This is the classic handheld Keepall 55, designed to be carried by the dual rolled leather handles. It is not the Bandoulière version and does not have strap D‑rings. The handle drop is approximately 11 cm.
Q: Can I add a shoulder strap later? A: Classic Keepalls were not made with the hardware needed for an LV strap, so attaching one is not recommended. Third‑party conversion kits exist but may stress the bag and affect longevity or resale.
Q: What does the date code VI. 8907 indicate? A: VI denotes a French workshop. For late‑1980s codes, the first two digits indicate the year and the last two the month, so 8907 means July 1989 in France.
Q: What are the advantages of Epi leather? A: Epi is a textured, dyed‑through cowhide introduced by Louis Vuitton in 1985. It is known for being durable, structured and more resistant to everyday scratches and light rain than many smooth leathers, while offering a discreet, logo‑minimal look.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather? A: Wipe with a soft slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid solvents, oils and alcohol‑based products. Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight/heat to preserve colour. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain shape; apply a neutral leather conditioner very sparingly only if the leather feels dry and always spot‑test first.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Please refer to the product information on this page. This piece is listed with no additional items included; if a dust bag, padlock, keys or luggage tag are not shown there, they are not included.
Q: Can I lock the bag? A: Yes. The double zip can be secured with a padlock through the zipper pulls. If a padlock is not shown in the product information for this specific piece, you may purchase one separately if desired.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully examined by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
