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 this Louis Vuitton Keepall Bandoulière 55? A: With approximate measurements of 55 x 30 x 25 cm, this size is ideal for a weekend away or short business trip. It can typically hold several outfits, a pair of shoes, a wash bag, chargers and other daily essentials. Capacity will vary depending on how you pack, so the measurements on this page are the best guide.
Q: Is the Keepall 55 usually accepted as cabin luggage? A: The Keepall 55 is widely considered a cabin-friendly travel bag, and Louis Vuitton classifies the 55 as cabin size. That said, airline rules vary, especially with stricter hand-luggage policies, so we always recommend checking your carrier’s current size limits before travelling.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap and other included items? A: Yes. This piece includes a detachable shoulder strap, luggage tag, handle holder and padlock. For pre-owned items, included items can vary, so only the items listed in the product information are included with this bag.
Q: What is Damier Infini leather? A: Damier Infini is Louis Vuitton’s embossed leather with the house’s signature checkerboard motif pressed into the surface. It gives the bag a subtle, refined look in black while offering a softer and more understated finish than coated canvas styles.
Q: How should I care for Damier Infini leather? A: Wipe it gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, and avoid harsh cleaners, perfume, oils and alcohol-based products. Keep the bag away from prolonged sunlight, heat and humidity, and store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag when not in use to help maintain its shape.
Q: What does the date code DU0122 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this period use two letters followed by four numbers. DU is a French factory code, and 0122 indicates production in the 2nd week of 2012. Date codes are not unique serial numbers, but they are one useful part of the overall authentication process.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: This bag is rated very good overall. The exterior shows scuffing on the corners and wear on the strap, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with most vintage and second-hand pieces, gentle signs of age are normal.
Q: Will this Keepall 55 fit a laptop? A: In many cases, yes. Its generous width means it can usually accommodate a laptop along with travel essentials, particularly slimmer 13-inch to 15-inch models in a protective sleeve. As devices vary in size, we recommend comparing your laptop’s measurements with the bag measurements shown on this page.
Q: Is this bag better for hand carry or shoulder carry? A: It works well for both. The dual rolled handles suit classic hand carry, while the detachable shoulder strap offers extra flexibility when you need your hands free. If you plan to pack it quite full, the shoulder strap can be especially useful for easier day-to-day carrying.
