Perfect for weekend getaways and short-haul flights, this vintage Louis Vuitton Keepall 45 in Monogram canvas adds timeless elegance to your journey, equally at home on a spontaneous city break or a relaxing country retreat.
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 fits inside the Louis Vuitton Monogram Keepall 45? A: The 45 is a compact weekender that typically holds a couple of outfits, underwear, a toiletry pouch, slim sneakers or flats, a lightweight jumper, chargers, a compact camera, and daily essentials (phone, wallet, keys). Many users also carry a 13‑inch laptop in a slim sleeve and an A4 notebook or pouch. Capacity can vary slightly by era—please refer to the Measurements on this page or contact us for tailored fit advice for this exact piece.
Q: Is the Keepall 45 cabin‑size for most airlines? A: Yes—the 45 usually meets carry‑on size guidelines for many airlines. Policies differ by carrier and route, and weight limits may apply, so we recommend checking your airline’s current cabin baggage rules. If you’d like us to compare this item’s dimensions to a specific airline, just ask.
Q: Does this version come with a shoulder strap? What is “Bandoulière”? A: The Keepall 45 comes in two main variants: the classic (top handles only) and the Bandoulière (with a detachable shoulder strap). Not all pre‑loved pieces include the strap—everything provided with this specific bag is listed under “Accessories.” We’ll note strap/handle drop under Measurements; if anything is missing, please ask and we’ll confirm for you.
Q: How secure is the closure and what does the interior look like? A: Keepalls typically feature a double zip‑top closure with two pulls and are often paired with a padlock for added security. The interior is generally one large open compartment (pockets are minimal or absent depending on era). Please review our photos and description for the exact interior layout and closure details of this piece.
Q: What materials is it made from and how should I care for them? A: Monogram coated canvas is durable and lightweight; trim is commonly natural cowhide (vachetta) leather, with gold‑tone hardware. Wipe canvas with a soft, dry cloth. Vachetta is untreated and sensitive to moisture and oils—avoid rain and colour transfer from dark denim, and handle with clean hands. Use a neutral leather conditioner very sparingly on trim only (test first on a discreet area). Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat.
Q: Will it fit a laptop or tablet? A: A standard tablet and most 13‑inch laptops fit comfortably; slim 14‑inch models can also fit depending on sleeve thickness. The Keepall isn’t padded, so we recommend a protective sleeve. Compare your device dimensions with the Measurements listed or ask us for a quick fit check against this exact item.
Q: What is the difference between Keepall sizes 45, 50, 55 and 60? A: The number refers to the length in centimetres. The 45 is the most compact weekender and very carry‑on‑friendly. The 50 offers extra room for longer trips; the 55 is often considered the largest size that still meets many cabin guidelines; the 60 is best for checked luggage. If you’re unsure, we’ll help match your travel needs to this specific 45.
Q: Does it include a padlock, keys, luggage tag or handle keeper (poignet)? A: Many Keepalls were sold with a padlock and keys, and some sets include a luggage tag and poignet. Inclusion varies on pre‑loved items. Everything accompanying this bag is listed under “Accessories.” If an item isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: Where are the brand markings and date code/microchip located? A: Authentic Louis Vuitton bags feature a heat‑stamp inside (e.g., “LOUIS VUITTON Paris” and country of origin). Older pieces typically have a date code stamped on a small leather tab or along an interior seam; from around 2021, LV transitioned to embedded microchips instead of visible date codes. Placement and format vary by era—ask us for close‑up photos for this item and we’ll help identify it.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, date code/microchip and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all pieces we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
