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 45 for a short trip? A: The 45 cm size is ideal for 1–2 nights. It comfortably holds a couple of outfits, toiletries, undergarments, a pair of shoes and small essentials like a book or tablet. Capacity varies with packing style; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions (approx. 47 × 27 × 20 cm).
Q: Is the Keepall 45 generally accepted as carry‑on luggage? A: Yes. The 45 is within cabin size limits for most airlines and fits easily in overhead bins. Policies vary by carrier and aircraft, so it’s best to check your specific airline before flying.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: This piece is the classic handheld Keepall 45 and is carried by its dual rolled handles (approx. 11 cm drop). It is not the Bandoulière version, which includes a detachable shoulder strap and dedicated strap anchors.
Q: Is there an exterior pocket on this Epi Keepall? A: Yes. Unlike many canvas versions, Epi leather Keepalls typically include a handy exterior slip pocket for quick‑access items such as travel documents or a phone.
Q: What are the advantages of Epi leather for travel? A: Epi is a textured, dyed‑through cowhide renowned for structure and durability. It is more scuff‑resistant and handles light moisture better than many smooth leathers, making it an excellent choice for frequent travel while maintaining a polished look.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather? A: Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface dust, then dry gently. Avoid harsh chemicals, oils or alcohol‑based wipes. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag away from heat and direct sunlight. For stubborn marks, consult a professional leather specialist rather than attempting aggressive home treatments.
Q: What does the date code VI 0945 signify? A: VI denotes a French workshop. For codes used from the early 1990s to 2006, the 1st and 3rd digits indicate the month and the 2nd and 4th digits indicate the year. Therefore, VI 0945 means the bag was made in France in April 1995.
Q: What is the official name of this blue colour? A: For 1990s Epi leather, the period‑correct blue is commonly referred to as Toledo Blue. Shade names can vary by era, but 1990s Epi pieces in blue are widely known by this name.
Q: Which accessories are included with this item? A: This listing includes a luggage tag and a handle fastener. Any items not mentioned under Accessories (such as a padlock, keys or dust bag) are not included unless explicitly stated.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point checks by our in‑house experts, and we provide a lifetime authenticity guarantee. We also offer an optional digital certificate for added documentation; please see our Support pages or contact us for details.
