Perfect for weekend escapes and stylish city breaks, this vintage Louis Vuitton Epi Keepall 55 lends a refined pop of green to your travel edit. From road trips to overnight business stays, it offers ample space for essentials while keeping your look unmistakably polished.
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 the Keepall 55 typically hold? A: As a full‑size weekend bag (55 cm length), it comfortably fits several outfits, shoes, a toiletry bag and travel essentials. Skilled packers can manage a week’s wardrobe. Capacity varies by how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the Keepall 55 cabin‑friendly for flights? A: Generally yes. Louis Vuitton describes the 55 as cabin‑friendly on many routes, but airline limits differ by carrier and aircraft. We recommend checking your specific airline’s hand‑baggage policy before travelling.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: No. This is the classic handheld Keepall 55, designed to be carried by its rolled leather handles (approx. 10 cm drop). The Bandoulière versions include a detachable shoulder strap and dedicated strap mounts for hands‑free carry.
Q: Does this Epi Keepall have an exterior pocket? A: Yes. This piece features a slim exterior slip pocket for quick‑access items like travel documents or a phone. For best results, store flat items only to help maintain the bag’s shape.
Q: What are the advantages of Epi leather? A: Epi is a textured, dyed‑through cowhide known for its structure and resilience. It handles daily wear well and is more resistant to surface scratches and light moisture than many smooth leathers—ideal for frequent travel.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dry immediately. Keep the leather away from oils, solvents and prolonged sunlight or heat. When storing, loosely stuff the bag and place it in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry area to preserve shape and colour.
Q: What does the date code VI0970 mean? A: VI indicates production in France. For items from this era, the first and third digits indicate the month and the second and fourth indicate the year—so “0970” decodes to July 1990.
Q: What is included in the product information for this item? A: This bag comes with a luggage tag and a handle holder, as listed. If an item such as a padlock, key set or dust bag is not listed under product information, it is not included.
Q: Can I attach my own strap to this bag? A: We do not recommend adding third‑party straps to the handles. The classic Keepall lacks strap anchors, and clipping to the handles can place undue stress on the leather and hardware. If you need a hands‑free option, consider the Bandoulière versions.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
