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 45? A: As the smallest size in the Keepall range, the 45 is the ultimate overnight or short weekend bag. It comfortably holds 1–2 days' worth of clothing (roughly two outfits), a spare pair of shoes, a toiletries bag, and small essentials. Its compact size makes it perfect for light travel or as a stylish gym bag. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is this bag cabin approved? A: Yes. The Keepall 45 (approx. 45 cm length) is widely accepted as carry-on luggage by virtually all major airlines. It fits easily in overhead compartments and, depending on how full it is, may fit under the seat in front of you. We always recommend checking with your specific airline for their latest restrictions.
Q: Does this model come with a shoulder strap? A: This specific piece is the classic handheld Keepall, not the 'Bandoulière' model. It features dual rolled leather top handles for hand or crook-of-arm carry. As a standard Keepall 45, it does not have the D-rings required to attach a shoulder strap.
Q: What characterizes the Cipango Gold Epi leather? A: Cipango Gold is a rich, warm amber/golden-brown hue introduced in the 1990s, distinct from the more reddish 'Kenyan Fawn'. Crafted from Louis Vuitton’s Epi leather—a dyed, textured cowhide—it is renowned for its durability, rigid structure, and water resistance, making it an excellent choice for travel.
Q: Can I fold this bag for storage? A: Unlike the softer Monogram Canvas Keepalls, we recommend *not* folding Epi leather bags for long periods. The leather is more structured, and hard folding can create permanent creases or wrinkles in the finish. We suggest storing this bag stuffed and upright in a breathable dust bag to maintain its shape.
Q: What exterior features does this bag have? A: This Epi Keepall features a convenient exterior slip pocket on one side—a practical detail for easy access to travel documents or a phone, which is often missing from the standard Monogram canvas versions. The bag is finished with brass hardware and a secure double-zip closure.
Q: Where are the brand markings and how do I read the date code? A: You will typically find the 'Louis Vuitton Paris Made in France' stamp on a leather leaf on the handle or strap. This vintage piece features the date code V.I. 0911, which indicates it was manufactured in France in January 1991.
Q: How do I care for vintage Epi leather? A: Epi leather is robust and easy to maintain. Wipe it gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners, oils, and prolonged exposure to intense sunlight, which can fade the vintage colour. Unlike untreated vachetta leather, Epi does not patina darker but can soften slightly with age.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This bag includes a luggage tag. Other original accessories such as a dust bag, padlock, or keys are only included if explicitly listed under 'Accessories'.
Q: How do you authenticate this vintage piece? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi-point authentication by our in-house experts. We assess materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and the date code (V.I. 0911) to ensure the item matches the production standards of its era. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
