Good Condition
Perfect for spontaneous weekend escapes, this vintage Louis Vuitton Keepall 50 carries your essentials in signature Monogram style. Whether departing on a city break, road trip or overnight business visit, its spacious silhouette keeps travel refined and effortlessly practical.
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 a Keepall 50? A: With approximate measurements of 50 × 26 × 22 cm, it comfortably holds a long weekend’s wardrobe: several outfits, shoes, a toiletry bag and travel essentials. Many 14–16 inch laptops also fit when placed in a protective sleeve. Capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the Keepall 50 accepted as cabin baggage? A: The 50 is widely considered cabin‑friendly and is described by Louis Vuitton as a cabin size bag. Airline limits do vary by carrier and aircraft, so we recommend checking your specific airline before travelling.
Q: Does this model come with a shoulder strap? A: This is the classic handheld Keepall 50, designed to be carried by its rolled leather handles. It does not include the detachable strap found on the Bandoulière versions. The handle drop on this piece is approximately 10 cm.
Q: Can I add an aftermarket strap to a classic Keepall? A: Classic Keepall bags generally lack the strap attachment rings found on Bandoulière models. Using third‑party clips on the handles can stress the leather; if you need shoulder or cross‑body carry, the Bandoulière version is the better choice.
Q: What are the materials and how do they wear? A: The body is Louis Vuitton’s coated Monogram canvas, which is light and hard‑wearing, paired with natural vachetta leather trim. Vachetta is untreated and will develop a honey patina over time; it can mark with water and show scuffs, which is part of its natural ageing on vintage pieces.
Q: How should I care for vachetta leather and canvas? A: Keep vachetta away from water and prolonged sunlight; handle with clean hands to encourage an even patina. For routine care, lightly wipe canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth. On vachetta, avoid harsh cleaners; use a small amount of a wax‑free, pH‑neutral leather conditioner sparingly when the leather feels dry. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from heat and humidity.
Q: What does the date code VI863 indicate? A: “VI” denotes a French workshop. In the 1980s, Louis Vuitton used formats where the digits represent the year and month; “863” is commonly read as March 1986. Letter/number order varied in that era and date codes are not unique serial numbers, so they should be considered an age/location indicator rather than proof of authenticity.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this piece, a luggage tag is included. Items such as a padlock, key or dust bag are only included if specifically stated there.
Q: Is this bag unisex and suitable for daily use? A: Yes—Keepall bags are designed for all genders and work well for travel, gym or overnight use. The classic 50 offers generous capacity without being bulky, and the coated canvas makes it a practical, lightweight choice for regular carry.
