Louis Vuitton Damier Azur Keepall 50 Weekend Bag

Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Keepall 50?
A: With approximate dimensions of 50 x 27 x 20 cm, the Keepall 50 is ideal for a 2–4 day trip. Expect room for clothing, a pair of shoes, toiletries pouch, slim laptop (e.g., 13-inch) or tablet, charger, A4 documents, and small accessories. Capacity can vary slightly by production year and how you pack—please compare your items to the Measurements shown on this page or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.

Q: Is the Keepall 50 accepted as cabin baggage?
A: Many airlines accept the Keepall 50 as cabin baggage, but policies vary by carrier and fare class. Its 50 cm length is within typical cabin allowances, though some airlines are stricter and recommend 45 cm. We suggest checking your airline’s current size limits before travelling. If you’d like, we can help compare this bag’s Measurements to a specific airline’s rules.

Q: Does this piece come with a shoulder strap? Can it be worn crossbody?
A: This listing does not include a shoulder strap and is intended for hand/shoulder carry via the dual rolled handles. Bandoulière editions of the Keepall feature side D-rings and an adjustable strap for shoulder/crossbody wear, but this specific bag is not a Bandoulière version. We list any handle/strap drops under Measurements—if you need more details, just ask and we’ll confirm for you.

Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout?
A: The Keepall features a two-way zip closure that can be secured with a padlock for added peace of mind. Interiors on traditional Keepall models are typically a single open compartment (no interior pockets); some versions include a D-ring. Please review our photos for the exact interior of this piece.

Q: What materials is the Damier Azur Keepall 50 made from?
A: Damier Azur coated canvas with natural Vachetta leather trim, gold-tone hardware, and a textile (beige canvas) lining. Our listing specifies these materials for this exact bag and shows close-up photos of the finishes. This piece is made in France, as indicated on the interior stamp and in the listing.

Q: How should I care for Damier Azur canvas and Vachetta leather?
A: Coated canvas is durable—wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners or alcohol-based products. Vachetta is untreated and will develop a patina; keep it away from moisture, lotions/oils, and prolonged sunlight to minimise watermarks and uneven darkening. Be mindful of colour transfer (especially from dark denim) on the light Azur canvas and leather. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid overloading to preserve its shape.

Q: Will the light colour show marks or colour transfer?
A: Damier Azur’s light palette can show scuffs and denim transfer more readily than darker canvases. To reduce marks, avoid prolonged contact with dark fabrics, wipe the canvas with a soft dry cloth after use, and let any minor moisture dry naturally away from heat. We don’t recommend abrasive cleaners or “magic erasers” on Vachetta as they can remove the surface and alter the patina.

Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled?
A: Authentic Louis Vuitton bags have an interior heat-stamp (e.g., “LOUIS VUITTON Paris” and country of origin). Older pieces typically include a date code on a leather tab or along an interior seam; from around 2021 LV transitioned to an embedded microchip rather than a visible code. Placement and format vary by era—this item shows the code MB0027, and we’re happy to share close-up photos or help interpret dating on request.

Q: What accessories are included with this item?
A: This piece includes a luggage tag, handle holder, and padlock as listed under “Accessories.” If keys or any additional items are included, they will be specified there; if an accessory isn’t mentioned, it isn’t included. Note: the luggage tag on this bag is hot-stamped with the initials “N.M.”

Q: Can the luggage tag with initials be changed, and does Louis Vuitton offer repairs?
A: The hot-stamp is permanent on the tag, but the tag is removable. Boutiques may offer replacement tags and new hot-stamping subject to availability and policy; options vary by region. Louis Vuitton can assess repairs (e.g., Vachetta components, hardware) case by case; costs and lead times depend on condition and parts. We’re happy to advise and help you prepare for a boutique assessment.

Q: How do you authenticate this bag?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, date code/microchip and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
