Q: What does the date code SP1900 indicate?
A: Louis Vuitton date codes are production codes rather than unique serial numbers. This code format is consistent with older Louis Vuitton pieces and the SP factory code is associated with France. As with any vintage Louis Vuitton item, a date code should be considered alongside the overall construction, materials and craftsmanship when assessing authenticity.

Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather?
A: The coated canvas can be wiped gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. The Vachetta leather should be kept away from excess moisture, oils and harsh cleaners, as it naturally darkens and develops patina over time. Store the bag in a cool, dry place and lightly stuff it when not in use to help maintain its shape.

Q: Is patina on the leather normal for a vintage Louis Vuitton Keepall?
A: Yes. Vachetta leather is designed to age over time and usually develops a darker honey-toned patina with use and exposure. On vintage bags, some watermarks, tonal variation and surface wear are common and are often considered part of the character of the piece.
