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 Louis Vuitton Epi Keepall 55? A: With approximate measurements of 56 × 31 × 25 cm, this bag is well suited to a weekend away or a light week-long trip. It can usually hold several outfits, shoes, a wash bag, and everyday essentials while keeping the soft duffle shape.
Q: Is the Keepall 55 suitable as cabin baggage? A: Usually, yes. The Keepall 55 is widely regarded as the largest Keepall size that is generally cabin-friendly, but airline rules can vary. As this piece measures about 56 cm across, it is always best to check your airline’s exact hand-luggage allowance before travelling, especially on stricter or regional flights.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: No shoulder strap is listed in the product information for this piece. It is designed to be carried by the dual rolled leather handles, with an approximate handle drop of 14 cm.
Q: Why is Epi leather a good choice for a travel bag? A: Epi leather is one of Louis Vuitton’s most durable signature leathers. Its embossed texture helps it hold its shape well, makes everyday scratches less visible, and gives the bag a more understated look than monogram canvas. It is a practical option for frequent use and travel.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather? A: Wipe the surface gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, and avoid harsh cleaners, oils, alcohol-based products, and excessive moisture. Keep the bag away from strong heat and prolonged direct sunlight, and store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag when not in use.
Q: What is the external slip pocket useful for? A: The side slip pocket is handy for slim items you may want to reach quickly, such as travel papers, a phone, or tickets. It is best used for flatter essentials rather than bulky objects.
Q: What does the date code V.I. 8901 mean? A: This vintage date code indicates production in France in January 1989. On older Louis Vuitton pieces, the code shows where and when the bag was made rather than serving as a unique serial number.
Q: Does a date code on its own prove authenticity? A: No. A date code is only one checkpoint and does not by itself confirm authenticity. It should always be considered alongside the materials, construction, hardware, logo details, and overall craftsmanship.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece includes a luggage tag and a poignet handle keeper, as listed in the product information. If another item is not mentioned there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: It is listed in good vintage condition. The exterior shows visible scuffing, marks, and stains, especially around the corners and bottom trim, the interior shows light signs of use, and the hardware has discolouration, scratches, and some loss of plating.
