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 Keepall Bandoulière 45? A: As a compact weekender (approx. 45 × 27 × 20 cm), it suits 1–2 days of outfits, a pair of shoes, a toiletry bag, and small tech like a tablet. A 13-inch laptop can fit in a protective sleeve, but pack flat to avoid pressure on the soft sides. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the Keepall 45 carry-on compliant? A: Yes, this size is generally considered cabin size. Louis Vuitton lists the Bandoulière 45 as suitable for carry-on, though airline rules vary by carrier and route, so we recommend checking with your airline before travelling.
Q: Does the Bandoulière version include a strap and can it be worn crossbody? A: Yes. The Bandoulière includes a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap designed for shoulder or crossbody wear, in addition to the dual rolled handles. Strap drop on modern models is typically around 36–50 cm; see the Measurements here for this item’s specific strap length.
Q: Does the Keepall 45 have any interior pockets? A: Many classic/vintage Monogram Keepall 45 bags have one open compartment with no interior pockets. Some newer or special-edition versions include a zipped pocket. This vintage piece follows the classic open-compartment layout unless otherwise noted in the description.
Q: Is Monogram canvas water-resistant and what about the Vachetta leather trim? A: Louis Vuitton’s Monogram is a coated canvas that is durable and water‑repellent, but the natural Vachetta leather trim is untreated and can darken and spot with water, developing a patina over time. Avoid rain and wipe dry promptly if exposed.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather on a vintage Keepall? A: Keep it dry, avoid oils and hand creams, and clean gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth if needed. Do not use harsh chemicals. Store stuffed to maintain shape, in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity. For stains or deeper cleaning, consult a professional leather specialist.
Q: What does the date code VI. 1920 mean? A: For codes used from 1990–2006, the letters indicate country and the digits indicate month/year. VI = made in France; 1920 decodes to December 1990. Note that date codes are not serial numbers and, while useful for dating, are not proof of authenticity by themselves; from 2021 many new LV items use microchips instead of date codes.
Q: Are a padlock and keys included, and is the lock TSA‑approved? A: This item includes a padlock and keys (see Accessories). The classic LV bag padlock secures the zipper pulls but is generally not TSA‑approved. If you plan to check luggage, use a TSA‑approved lock; Louis Vuitton also offers separate TSA locks for travel pieces.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts with multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamping, hardware, glazing, and date code/era alignment. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to share additional photos or details on request.
Q: How should I store the bag between trips? A: Empty and gently stuff with acid‑free tissue, close zips to retain shape, and store in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging by the handles or leaving the padlock attached long‑term to prevent indentation.
