Louis Vuitton Monogram Keepall Bandouliére 60 Weekend Bag

Q: What fits inside the Louis Vuitton Keepall Bandoulière 60?
A: The 60 is a true long‑weekend/short‑trip duffle—typically enough for 3–5 outfits, trainers, a toiletry bag, outerwear, a long wallet, sunglasses, chargers and small tech. It also accommodates a large laptop (15–17 inch) in a protective sleeve with room to spare. Capacity varies slightly by production and how you pack; please refer to the Measurements on this page or ask us for tailored fit advice for this specific piece.

Q: Is the Keepall 60 cabin‑friendly for flights?
A: Generally no. At around 60 cm in length, it usually exceeds most airlines’ carry‑on limits. The Keepall 55 is more commonly accepted as cabin baggage. Policies vary by carrier and route, so please check your airline’s allowance and the Measurements listed here. When in doubt, plan to use it as checked luggage or for road/rail travel.

Q: Does the Bandoulière 60 come with a shoulder strap and can I wear it crossbody?
A: The Bandoulière version features side D‑rings designed for a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap (often with a shoulder pad) for shoulder or crossbody wear. Inclusion of the strap with this pre‑loved item will be shown under “Accessories.” If a strap isn’t mentioned, it isn’t included—feel free to ask and we’ll confirm and provide the strap/handle drop measurements on request.

Q: What materials is the Monogram Keepall 60 typically made from?
A: Most Monogram Keepall Bandoulière 60s are crafted from Louis Vuitton’s Monogram coated canvas with natural cowhide (vachetta) leather trim, a textile lining and gold‑tone brass hardware. The coated canvas is durable and water‑resistant; the vachetta trim is untreated, will develop a honey patina over time, and is sensitive to moisture and oils.

Q: How does it close and how secure is it?
A: The Keepall generally features a double zip closure. You can secure the zipper pulls together with an LV padlock (if present). The interior is typically one open compartment; some later releases include an interior pocket. For travel, we recommend locking the zips and keeping small valuables in a pouch inside.

Q: Is it heavy and will it hold its shape?
A: In coated canvas, the Keepall 60 is relatively light for its size but can become heavy when fully packed. With regular use, it may develop a natural, soft drape. To help maintain structure, avoid overloading, consider a bag organiser or packing cubes, and store it lightly stuffed and upright in its dust bag with handles supported.

Q: How should I care for Monogram canvas and vachetta leather?
A: Wipe canvas with a soft, dry cloth; for light marks, use a barely damp cloth and allow to air‑dry. Keep vachetta away from rain and oils to prevent water spots and uneven darkening. Avoid colour transfer from dark denim, prolonged sunlight and heat. If you choose to use a leather conditioner or protector on vachetta, select a suitable, high‑quality product and test on an inconspicuous area first. Always store in a breathable dust bag, lightly stuffed.

Q: Where is the date/serial code and what if there isn’t one?
A: On earlier Keepalls, the date code is usually heat‑stamped on a small leather tab inside the bag, often along an interior seam or near the top edge. From 2021 onwards, many new LV bags use an internal microchip instead of a visible date code. We’re happy to confirm and share close‑up photos/details for this specific piece on request.

Q: How does the 60 compare to other Keepall sizes?
A: 45 = compact overnight/gym; 50 = classic weekend; 55 = largest size commonly accepted as carry‑on by many airlines; 60 = the roomiest standard Keepall, ideal for longer trips, road travel or checked baggage. If you need cabin‑friendly, consider the 50 or 55; if you want maximum capacity, the 60 is best.

Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate?
A: Any original accessories for this specific item—such as a detachable strap, dust bag, luggage tag, handle keeper (poignet), padlock and keys—will be listed under “Accessories.” If it isn’t mentioned, it isn’t included. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication (materials, construction, stamps, hardware and codes), and we stand behind the authenticity of all pieces we sell.
