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 Louis Vuitton Monogram Keepall 55? A: With measurements of approximately 56 x 35 x 25 cm, this roomy travel bag typically fits a weekend wardrobe, shoes, a wash bag, and other larger essentials. The Keepall 55 is known for its generous capacity, making it ideal for short breaks and weekend travel.
Q: Is the Keepall 55 suitable as carry-on luggage? A: Generally, yes. The Keepall 55 is widely regarded as a cabin-friendly size, but carry-on rules vary by airline, route, and how full the bag is packed. We recommend checking your airline’s current cabin baggage allowance before travelling.
Q: Does this particular bag come with a shoulder strap? A: No. This is the classic handheld Keepall 55, designed to be carried by its dual rolled handles. It does not come with a shoulder strap. The strap is typically found on Bandoulière versions instead.
Q: Is the patina and handle wear normal on a vintage Keepall like this? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton’s natural Vachetta leather develops a darker patina over time and can also show watermarks and surface wear with age. For this specific bag, the product information notes visible patina, watermarks, scuffing, and some peeling on the handles, which is consistent with vintage use and is reflected in the stated good condition.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and leather trim? A: The coated canvas can be gently wiped with a soft damp cloth and a little mild soapy water. Avoid perfume, alcohol-based products, leather lotions, oils, and harsh chemicals. The natural leather trim should be kept away from excess moisture, direct heat, and prolonged sunlight, as these can deepen marks and speed up wear.
Q: What does the code MI 873 mean? A: MI is associated with production in France, and this late-1980s style code is generally interpreted as March 1987. It is a production code rather than a unique serial number, so it should be considered alongside the bag’s materials, craftsmanship, stamps, and overall construction when assessing authenticity.
Q: Can the handles or leather trim be repaired? A: Potentially, yes. Louis Vuitton offers repair services following an assessment, and vintage pieces may sometimes be eligible for leather or handle work depending on condition and parts availability. Because this bag shows wear to the handles, any future repair would need to be evaluated on an individual basis.
Q: What is included with this item? A: No additional included items are listed for this piece. Please refer to the product information on this page for the full included contents; if something is not listed there, it is not included with the bag.
Q: Is the non-strap Keepall 55 comfortable to carry when full? A: It is stylish and practical, but when packed fully, the handheld Keepall 55 can feel heavy to carry for longer periods. If you prefer hands-free or shoulder carry, Bandoulière versions are usually the more convenient option, while this classic version is best suited to handheld use.
