Louis VuittonMonogram Keepall 55 Weekend Bag

Q: What are the measurements of this Louis Vuitton Monogram Keepall 55?
A: This particular bag measures approximately 58 cm wide, 30 cm high and 26 cm deep. Although the model is named Keepall 55, please use these item-specific measurements when assessing its size.

Q: What can fit inside the Keepall 55?
A: The Keepall 55 is a spacious weekend bag suitable for several outfits, a pair of shoes and a toiletry bag. Actual capacity depends on the bulk of your belongings and how you pack. Avoid overpacking, which can strain the bag and affect its shape.

Q: Can I use this bag as cabin luggage?
A: Cabin-baggage acceptance is not guaranteed. This item measures approximately 58 × 30 × 26 cm, so compare these dimensions with your airline’s current size and weight allowance before travelling. Use the listed measurements rather than relying on the Keepall 55 model name.

Q: Is the Monogram exterior leather or canvas?
A: The classic Monogram Keepall has a coated canvas body with natural cowhide leather trim, commonly known as Vachetta. The patterned exterior is therefore canvas rather than an all-leather construction.

Q: What condition is this particular bag in?
A: This pre-owned bag is rated Good Condition. The Vachetta leather has a visible patina, the handles show wear, and the corner piping has scuffing. The interior is in good condition with light traces of use, while the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.

Q: What does the patina on the Vachetta leather mean?
A: Patina is the natural darkening that develops on untreated cowhide leather through handling and exposure over time. This bag already has a visible patina. Patina is distinct from the separately noted handle wear and corner scuffing.

Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap?
A: A strap measurement of 110 cm and a handle measurement of 10 cm are recorded for this item. However, the product information states that no accessories are included and does not explicitly confirm whether a shoulder strap is supplied. Please contact A Retro Tale to confirm before purchasing if shoulder carrying is important to you.

Q: Are a padlock, luggage tag, dust bag or box included?
A: The product information states that no accessories are included. Do not assume that a padlock, luggage tag, dust bag or box accompanies this bag, even if these extras are supplied with some new Keepall models.

Q: How should I clean and store this vintage Monogram Keepall?
A: Gently wipe the coated canvas with a soft, lightly damp cloth, keeping moisture away from the Vachetta leather. Avoid solvents, alcohol-based products, oils and leather treatments. If the leather gets wet, blot it immediately with a light-coloured, lint-free absorbent cloth. Store the bag in a ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat, ideally in a separately obtained breathable protective bag.
