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 size is the Louis Vuitton Keepall Bandoulière 45, and what typically fits inside? A: With listed measurements of approximately 45 x 24 x 20 cm, this size is ideal for light packing. It will usually hold clothing for 1 to 2 days, toiletries, a pair of shoes, and smaller essentials such as a book, tablet, or compact tech pouch. Capacity will vary depending on how structured your items are.
Q: Is the Keepall 45 suitable as cabin baggage? A: Generally, yes. Louis Vuitton describes the Keepall Bandoulière 45 as cabin size, and most size guides also class the 45 as hand luggage for many airlines. Even so, cabin baggage rules can vary by carrier, route, and ticket type, so it is always best to check your airline’s current allowance before travelling.
Q: Does this item include a shoulder strap? A: Yes. This listing includes a detachable shoulder strap as noted in the product information, along with dual rolled handles. The handle drop is approximately 10 cm and the strap drop is approximately 40 cm according to the measurements provided for this item.
Q: What materials is this bag made from? A: This piece is made from Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas with tan leather trim, brown canvas lining, and brass-tone hardware. The natural leather trim is designed to darken into a richer patina over time and can show marks or water spotting more easily than the coated canvas.
Q: What does the date code TH1917 mean? A: TH is a Louis Vuitton factory code used for France, and the four-digit format used on bags from this era indicates the 11th week of 1997. Date codes help identify where and when a bag was produced, but they are not unique serial numbers and should not be relied on alone to confirm authenticity.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and leather trim? A: The coated canvas can be wiped gently with a soft damp cloth and, if needed, a little mild soapy water. Avoid oils, solvents, leather lotions, or harsh cleaners. If the natural leather trim gets wet, blot it straight away with a light-coloured absorbent cloth and let it dry naturally. For storage, keep the bag lightly stuffed in a ventilated area and avoid overpacking it.
Q: What condition should I expect from this vintage piece? A: The exterior, interior, and hardware are all listed in very good vintage condition with light traces of use. The product information also notes some watermarks on the leather trims, a slight vintage smell inside, and light surface scratches to the hardware, all of which are consistent with gentle wear over time.
Q: Is the Keepall 45 better as a personal item or as a weekend bag? A: Most buyers use the 45 as a compact weekender or cabin bag. Forum discussions suggest some travellers have managed to place it under an aircraft seat, but many find it too large for that and prefer to use it as overhead cabin baggage instead. In practical terms, it is best thought of as a small weekend or travel bag rather than a guaranteed personal item.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information for this listing notes a detachable shoulder strap. No box or authenticity card is listed for this piece, so only the items specifically mentioned on the product page should be expected.
