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 Bandoulière 55? A: As a true weekender, it comfortably carries 3–5 outfits, underwear, a pair of trainers, toiletry bag, lightweight knit, chargers and small accessories. A 13-inch laptop in a slim sleeve and A4 documents fit; a 500 ml water bottle and compact umbrella also tuck in. Capacity varies by packing style—use pouches or an organiser to maximise space and keep the shape.
Q: Is the Keepall 55 accepted as carry-on luggage? A: Often, yes. The Keepall 55’s classic dimensions are around 55 × 31 × 24 cm; this specific piece is approx. 55 × 28 × 25 cm. Many airlines use limits near 56 × 45 × 25 cm (or 22 × 14 × 9 in). Because the bag is soft‑sided, it compresses—avoid over‑stuffing to stay within depth limits. Always check your airline’s current policy and weight limits before you fly.
Q: Does this listing include the shoulder strap? A: Bandoulière versions originally come with a removable, adjustable shoulder strap. For this exact bag, the “Accessories” field lists a luggage tag, padlock and handle keeper—no strap is listed, so a strap is not included with this piece. If you’d like advice on sourcing a compatible LV strap, just ask us.
Q: How is the interior laid out? A: The Monogram Keepall is designed as a single, open main compartment with a fabric lining for maximum capacity. Some more recent Bandoulière iterations add an interior pocket, but most vintage Monogram Keepalls (including this 1990s piece) are pocket‑free. We recommend a small zip pouch for valuables when travelling.
Q: What does the date code TH0964 mean? A: In Louis Vuitton’s 1990–2006 format, the first and third digits indicate the month, and the second and fourth digits indicate the year. “TH” is a French workshop code; “0964” decodes to June (06) 1994. This matches the Made in France stamp for this bag.
Q: What materials is it made from, and how durable is it? A: Monogram is a coated canvas that’s light and hard‑wearing; the trim and handles are natural vegetable‑tanned vachetta leather. Vachetta is designed to develop a honey patina and is sensitive to water/oils, so marks and deepening colour over time are normal. It’s a robust travel bag when used mindfully.
Q: How should I care for the vachetta and canvas? A: Keep away from heavy rain and coloured fabrics that may transfer. If lightly wet, blot (don’t rub) with a soft cloth and air‑dry away from heat. Dust canvas and leather with a clean, dry cloth; condition vachetta very sparingly with a neutral product only after testing on a discreet area. For older watermarks or deep stains, we recommend a reputable luxury leather specialist.
Q: Is it comfortable to carry on the shoulder or crossbody? A: With the original strap attached, the Bandoulière is designed for shoulder or crossbody wear and usually includes a shoulder pad for comfort. Without a strap (as with this listing), it’s hand or crook‑of‑arm carry via the rolled handles; the included handle keeper helps the grips sit together in hand. Packing lighter improves comfort for longer walks through airports.
Q: How does the 55 compare with the 50? A: The 55 offers noticeably more packing space and suits longer weekends. The 50 is sleeker and almost always easier for strict carriers. If you prioritise carry‑on certainty on budget airlines, the 50 can be safer; if you pack a bit more and fly standard limits, the 55 is a great all‑rounder.
Q: What condition is this specific bag in and what’s included? A: Condition is Good overall: the vachetta shows a visible patina with watermarks and scuffing on trim, corners and handles; the lining has light staining; hardware shows tarnish, scratches and some oxidation. Included accessories: luggage tag, padlock and handle keeper. If you’d like any extra close‑ups or a weight check, we’ll be happy to provide them.
Q: How do you guarantee authenticity? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts—materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, date code era/format and overall construction are assessed. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
