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 are the dimensions and what typically fits inside the Grimaud 45? A: Approximate measurements are 45 × 40 × 25 cm. As a structured weekender, it comfortably holds clothing for 2–3 days, a pair of shoes, a toiletry bag, tech and chargers, and a 15–16 inch laptop or documents, depending on how you pack. For the most accurate guide, refer to the Measurements on this page.
Q: Is the Grimaud 45 compliant as airline cabin baggage? A: Its 45 cm length sits within many airlines’ cabin allowances and fits typical guidelines like 55–56 × 45 × 20–25 cm. Because policies vary by carrier and fare, please confirm your specific airline’s limits before travelling.
Q: Does this model include a shoulder strap or strap attachments? A: The Grimaud 45 is designed as a handheld, structured weekender with dual rolled leather handles. It does not come with a shoulder strap and does not feature strap attachments on the body.
Q: How does the Grimaud differ from a Keepall 45? A: The Grimaud is more structured with a square profile, a wide double‑zip opening secured by a leather buckle strap, and protective base feet. The Keepall is a softer duffle without base feet in most versions and, in Bandoulière variants, features a shoulder strap. The Grimaud’s structure helps clothes stay neater in transit.
Q: What are the key design features of this piece? A: It is crafted in Damier Ebene coated canvas with brown leather trim and brass hardware, featuring dual rolled top handles, a top zip with buckle strap for added security, a canvas interior with a slip pocket, and protective feet on the base. The lining is the classic red/orange tone seen in Damier Ebene travel pieces.
Q: How should I care for Damier Ebene canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soapy water, then dry gently. Avoid oils, solvents, alcohol, and harsh cleaners. Keep away from prolonged heat and direct sunlight. For leather trim, use a clean dry cloth only; avoid over‑conditioning. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain shape, and avoid overloading to prevent stress on the canvas and handles.
Q: What does the date code SP0052 indicate? A: For Louis Vuitton items made from 1990–2006, the first and third digits indicate the month and the second and fourth the year. SP0052 decodes to May 2002, with SP denoting a French workshop. Note that a date code is not a unique serial number; it confirms production period and location only.
Q: Is the Grimaud 45 unisex? A: Yes. Its clean lines and classic Damier Ebene finish make it a versatile travel bag suitable for any traveller, regardless of gender.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. For this piece, that includes a luggage tag and a handle keeper (poignet). Items such as a padlock, keys or dust bag are included only if specifically stated in product information.
Q: Will this fit under an airline seat? A: Due to its structured height and depth, the Grimaud 45 is best placed in the overhead bin on most aircraft. Under‑seat fit may be tight or not possible on many airlines and aircraft types.
