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: Is the Keepall 45 Bandoulière cabin‑friendly for most airlines? A: Yes. At approximately 45 × 27 × 20 cm (about 17.7 × 10.6 × 7.9 inches), the 45 is generally accepted as cabin baggage on many carriers. Rules vary by airline and route, so please check with your airline before travelling.
Q: What typically fits inside the Keepall 45 for a weekend? A: It comfortably holds 2–3 outfits, a light jumper, a pair of shoes, a toiletry bag, and tech essentials such as a 13–14 inch laptop in a sleeve. The open, unstructured interior makes flexible packing easy. Refer to the Measurements on this page to plan your packing.
Q: Does this vintage Keepall 45 have interior pockets? A: Classic Monogram Keepall 45 models from this era feature one large, open compartment without internal pockets. Some newer special editions may include a zipped pocket, but vintage Monogram versions typically do not.
Q: What does the date code VI 8912 mean? A: It indicates the bag was made in France in December 1989. Late‑1980s Louis Vuitton date codes use a YYMM format with a two‑letter factory code; “VI” denotes a French workshop.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As listed in the product information: a detachable shoulder strap, luggage tag, handle strap (poignet), and padlock. If an item such as a dust bag or keys is not listed in the product information, it is not included.
Q: How can this bag be carried, and is the strap long enough for cross‑body wear? A: Use the dual rolled handles for hand carry, or attach the removable, adjustable strap for shoulder or cross‑body wear depending on your height and preference. The Bandoulière design adds D‑rings and a strap for hands‑free comfort.
Q: How should I care for the materials? A: Monogram coated canvas can be wiped with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soapy water; avoid alcohol‑based cleaners and harsh chemicals. Vachetta leather is untreated and develops a natural patina; try to avoid water, oils, and prolonged direct sunlight to keep the colour even. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from heat and humidity.
Q: Will the leather darken over time? A: Yes. Vachetta leather naturally deepens from pale beige to a warm honey tone with use and exposure. Light marks or water spots are common on vintage pieces and contribute to their character.
Q: Is the Keepall 45 heavy when full? A: The Keepall is designed to be lightweight for its size. The Bandoulière’s shoulder strap helps distribute weight more comfortably during longer walks through stations and airports.
Q: How is authenticity ensured? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide additional details on request.
