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 can I typically pack in the Keepall 55 for a weekend away? A: With approximate measurements of 57 × 30 × 25 cm (see Measurements on this page), it comfortably holds 3–5 outfits, a pair of shoes, a toiletry bag, a 15" laptop or tablet, chargers and a light jacket. Using packing cubes and pouches helps maximise space and keeps the interior tidy.
Q: Is the Keepall 55 accepted as carry‑on luggage? A: The 55 size is widely regarded as the largest Keepall that is carry‑on friendly with many airlines. Policies vary by carrier and route, so we recommend checking your airline’s current cabin baggage limits and avoiding over‑stuffing to keep within size guidelines.
Q: Does this model come with a shoulder strap? A: This is the classic handheld Keepall 55 designed to be carried by its dual rolled leather handles (approximate handle drop 11 cm). Only the Bandoulière versions come with D‑rings and a detachable shoulder strap.
Q: Is there an exterior pocket on the Epi Keepall 55? A: Yes, Epi leather editions from this era typically feature a slim exterior slip pocket on one side for quick‑access items like travel documents. For security and to maintain the pocket’s shape, avoid storing bulky or heavy objects there.
Q: What are the advantages of Epi leather for travel? A: Epi is a robust, textured, dyed‑through leather finished with a protective coating, making it notably resistant to scratches and light moisture while retaining a structured look. It’s an excellent choice for frequent travel and daily use.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather? A: Wipe the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry gently. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol‑based wipes, oils or coloured conditioners. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct heat and sunlight, and keep dark fabrics from prolonged contact to minimise colour transfer. For deep cleaning or colour refresh, consult a professional handbag care service.
Q: What does the date code SP0965 mean on this bag? A: For Louis Vuitton items made between 1990 and 2006, the two letters show the country and the four digits indicate month and year. SP denotes France; 0 and 6 (first and third digits) indicate the 06th month, and 9 and 5 (second and fourth digits) indicate 1995—so this bag was made in June 1995. Please note, date codes are not unique serial numbers and are only one small part of an overall authentication process.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece comes with a luggage tag and poignet (handle keeper). If a padlock, keys or dust bag are not listed under Accessories, they are not included—feel free to ask us if you need confirmation.
Q: Any tips to keep it comfortable to carry and in good shape? A: Distribute weight evenly and avoid over‑packing so the rolled handles remain comfortable. Zip the bag when storing, and lightly stuff with acid‑free tissue to preserve the silhouette. If you prefer hands‑free travel, consider a Keepall Bandoulière 55, which includes a shoulder strap.
