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 Keepall 55? A: The Keepall 55 is the quintessential weekender, offering generous capacity for a 3-to-5-day trip. It comfortably holds multiple outfits, two pairs of shoes, a large toiletry bag, and tech essentials like a laptop or iPad. Please refer to the Measurements (approx. 55 × 28 × 24 cm) for precise dimensions.
Q: Is this bag carry-on compliant? A: Yes, the Keepall 55 is widely considered the maximum cabin-friendly size for most major international airlines. However, regulations can vary by carrier (especially on budget airlines), so we recommend checking your specific flight restrictions before travel.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: This specific model is the classic handheld Keepall style, which features dual rolled leather handles but does not include a shoulder strap or D-rings for attachment. It is designed to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm.
Q: What is Epi Cipango Gold leather? A: Cipango Gold is a distinctive, warm caramel-brown shade with golden undertones, famously released by Louis Vuitton in the 1990s. Epi leather itself is a textured, rigid leather known for its exceptional durability and water resistance, making it more structured and robust than the classic Monogram canvas.
Q: Does this version have an exterior pocket? A: Yes—unlike the standard Monogram canvas Keepalls, the Epi leather editions typically feature a convenient exterior side slip pocket. This is perfect for keeping travel documents, a phone, or a passport accessible while on the move.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather? A: Epi leather is low-maintenance and highly durable. To clean, simply wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, oils, or solvents that could damage the textured finish. We recommend storing the bag lightly stuffed and upright in a breathable dust bag to maintain its shape and prevent deep creasing.
Q: What does the date code VI0935 mean? A: The date code VI0935 indicates that this specific bag was manufactured in France in March 1995. You can typically find this code stamped on a leather tab inside the bag or along an interior seam.
Q: Can this bag be folded for storage? A: While soft canvas Keepalls are designed to fold flat, Epi leather is more structured. We advise against folding it tightly to avoid permanent creases or cracks in the leather. Ideally, store it stuffed with acid-free tissue or a pillow to preserve its silhouette.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece comes with a luggage tag, as listed under the “Accessories” section. If an item (such as a padlock or dust bag) is not explicitly mentioned there, it is not included.
