Louis VuittonMonogram Keepall 55 Weekend Bag

Q: What are the measurements of this Louis Vuitton Keepall 55?
A: This bag measures approximately 55 cm wide × 28 cm high × 22 cm deep. These are the measurements of this specific vintage piece, rather than the dimensions of the current model.

Q: What can I fit inside the Keepall 55?
A: It is a generously sized weekend bag suitable for clothing, toiletries and a spare pair of shoes for a short trip. How much it holds depends on the bulk of your belongings and how you pack.

Q: Can I use this Keepall 55 as cabin luggage?
A: Compare this bag's measurements of 55 × 28 × 22 cm with your airline's current cabin baggage allowance before travelling. Acceptance depends on the airline, fare and aircraft, so it is not guaranteed. Remember to account for the handles and any bulging when packed.

Q: Is the bag made entirely from leather?
A: No. The Monogram Keepall combines coated canvas with natural cowhide leather trim and handles, known as Vachetta leather. The brown Monogram exterior provides its distinctive appearance, while the leather develops a patina over time.

Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap?
A: No shoulder strap is included. This item is listed as a Keepall 55 rather than a Keepall Bandoulière and is intended to be carried using its two top handles.

Q: What accessories are included?
A: The product information states that no accessories are included. Do not expect a dust bag, padlock, keys, luggage tag or handle keeper with this purchase.

Q: What condition is this vintage Keepall in?
A: It is rated Good Condition. The Vachetta leather has visible patina, darkening on the handles, watermarks and scuffing on the corners. The interior is rated good, with a vintage smell. The hardware shows tarnishing, scratches and verdigris.

Q: Does this bag have an odour?
A: Yes. A vintage smell is noted in the interior condition report. Its intensity is not specified, and removal cannot be guaranteed, so please consider this before purchasing if you are sensitive to odours.

Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather?
A: Keep the bag away from water, humidity, direct sunlight, heat, abrasive surfaces and oil- or alcohol-based products. If the leather gets wet, gently blot it with a light-coloured, lint-free absorbent cloth. Avoid soaps, solvents and attempts to scrub away the existing patina or watermarks. Seek specialist advice for the worn leather and hardware rather than using household cleaners.
