Perfect for weekend escapes, this vintage Louis Vuitton Keepall 45 in Monogram canvas with Vachetta leather trim brings effortless elegance to travel. Compact yet roomy for your essentials, it suits city breaks, country retreats and overnight stays alike—an iconic cabin companion that elevates every departure.
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 the Keepall 45? A: As a compact weekender (approx. 45 × 26 × 20 cm), it comfortably holds 1–2 outfits, a light knit, a pair of shoes, a toiletry bag, and small travel essentials such as a book or tablet. Capacity varies with how you pack because the bag is soft-sided—using pouches or organisers helps maximise space.
Q: Is the Keepall 45 carry-on compliant? A: Generally yes. Many airlines allow cabin bags up to around 56 × 45 × 25 cm or 55 × 35 × 25 cm, so a soft Keepall 45 typically fits in the overhead locker when not overfilled. Always check your specific airline’s rules before you fly.
Q: Does this bag have a shoulder strap? A: This specific piece is the classic handheld Keepall 45, designed to be carried by its dual rolled leather handles (approx. 12 cm drop). It does not have the strap rings found on the Bandoulière versions. If you prefer shoulder or cross‑body carry, look for a Keepall Bandoulière 45.
Q: What is the bag made of and how should I care for it? A: It is crafted from Monogram coated canvas with natural vachetta leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. Wipe canvas with a soft damp cloth. Vachetta is untreated and will darken with use; keep it dry, blot water immediately, and avoid oils, alcohol‑based products and home leather conditioners. Store loosely stuffed in its dust bag, away from heat and direct sunlight.
Q: The description mentions patina, watermarks and scuffing—are these normal? A: Yes. Vachetta leather develops a honey patina naturally and is prone to water spotting and surface scuffs, especially on vintage pieces. These are cosmetic signs of age and use and do not affect functionality when the leather remains structurally sound. Gentle handling and dry storage will help minimise further marking.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. For this item, a luggage tag, handle holder and padlock are included. If an item such as keys or a dust bag is not stated in the product information, it is not included.
Q: Can I add a strap to a non‑Bandoulière Keepall? A: The classic Keepall was not designed for a shoulder strap and lacks D‑rings. Attaching aftermarket straps via the handles can stress the hardware and is not recommended. If you need hands‑free carry, the Bandoulière variant is the better choice.
Q: Does this bag have a date code or serial number, and what does it signify? A: Louis Vuitton used date codes (not unique serial numbers) on most items from the early 1980s until early 2021. A date code indicates the place and approximate time of manufacture and is only one element of our multi‑point authentication. If you would like us to confirm the code and its reading for this piece, please contact us.
Q: Can the Keepall 45 fit under the seat in front? A: Sometimes, if lightly packed. The soft sides allow gentle compression, but under‑seat space varies by airline and aircraft. When using the overhead bin, protecting the bag in its dust bag is a good practice.
