Ideal for a city break or overnight business trip, the Louis Vuitton Keepall Bandoulière 50 brings refined ease to your journey. Smart enough for hotel lobbies yet practical as hand luggage on train or plane, it keeps weekend essentials close in iconic Monogram style.
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 in the Keepall Bandoulière 50? A: With approximate measurements of 50 × 28 × 22 cm, it comfortably holds 2–4 days’ wardrobe, a pair of shoes, a toiletries kit, and travel essentials. Capacity varies with packing style; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the Keepall 50 cabin‑size for flights? A: The 50 is widely regarded as cabin‑friendly and is generally accepted by many airlines. Policies differ by carrier and aircraft, so we recommend checking your airline’s current cabin baggage limits before you travel.
Q: What does “Bandoulière” mean for this model? A: Bandoulière versions have side D‑rings and a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap for shoulder or cross‑body carry. Classic handheld Keepalls lack these strap fittings. This piece is the Bandoulière 50 and includes a strap as listed in the product information.
Q: Can I wear it cross‑body and is the strap adjustable? A: Yes. The strap is detachable and adjustable for shoulder or cross‑body wear. Please see the strap measurement on this page (45, adjustable) to ensure a comfortable drop for your height and preferred carry.
Q: How durable is Monogram canvas and what about the vachetta leather trim? A: Louis Vuitton’s Monogram canvas is a coated material that is light and hard‑wearing; it can be gently wiped with a soft, slightly damp cloth. The natural vachetta leather trim is untreated, so it will deepen to a honey patina over time and is sensitive to water, oils and direct sunlight. Avoid rain and harsh cleaners; store away from heat and humidity.
Q: There are minimal watermarks on the vachetta—can they be removed? A: Minor watermarks are common on vintage vachetta and part of its character. Light surface marks may soften with professional care, but deeper water exposure can be permanent. We advise gentle use and, if desired, consulting a leather specialist experienced with vachetta.
Q: What does the date code MB0012 indicate? A: MB denotes manufacture in France. For this four‑digit format used before 2007, the first and third digits indicate the month and the second and fourth indicate the year—so MB0012 corresponds to January 2002. Louis Vuitton began phasing out physical date codes in 2021 in favour of embedded microchips, but earlier pieces like this one use date codes.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this piece: dust bag, padlock, luggage tag, detachable shoulder strap and poignet (handle keeper). If you need clarification, contact us and we’ll confirm what is present.
Q: How does the 50 compare to the 45 and 55 sizes? A: The 45 is a compact overnighter, the 50 is a versatile weekender that is usually the safest cabin choice, and the 55 offers extra room but can be borderline with stricter airlines. Choose based on your packing habits and airline requirements.
Q: How do I store and care for the bag between trips? A: Store it loosely stuffed to maintain shape (use clean, colour‑fast tissue or a soft pillow), keep it in its dust bag in a cool, dry place, and avoid prolonged pressure on the handles or strap. Regularly air it out and wipe the canvas with a soft cloth; let vachetta age naturally without oils or conditioners unless advised by a professional.
