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 spacious weekender (approx. 55 × 28 × 24 cm), it comfortably holds several outfits, a pair of shoes, a toiletry bag and larger essentials like a laptop or hairdryer. With efficient packing, many travellers manage a full week’s wardrobe. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the Keepall 55 carry‑on compliant? A: The 55 is widely considered cabin‑friendly and is described by the maison as a cabin‑size bag. Airline limits do vary by carrier and aircraft, so we recommend checking your specific airline’s rules before flying, especially on regional or low‑cost routes.
Q: What is the difference between the Keepall and the Keepall Bandoulière? A: Bandoulière versions include side D‑rings and a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap for shoulder or cross‑body wear, in addition to the dual rolled top handles. The classic handheld Keepall lacks this strap setup.
Q: Does this Keepall 55 have interior pockets? A: Classic Monogram Keepall 55 bags typically feature one large open compartment without internal pockets. Some newer or special editions (such as certain Macassar or Eclipse versions) include a zipped interior pocket, but this depends on the specific variant. Please review our photos for the interior of this piece.
Q: What does the date code SP1911 mean on this bag? A: Louis Vuitton used two letters plus four digits from 2007–early 2021, where the first and third digits indicate the production week and the second and fourth indicate the year. “SP” denotes a French workshop; “1911” decodes to week 19 of 2011. This aligns with the Made in France stamp on this piece.
Q: What materials and hardware does this model use? A: Monogram coated canvas with natural Vachetta cowhide leather trim, gold‑toned brass hardware, brown textile lining and a double zip closure. The canvas is light yet durable, while the untreated Vachetta will deepen in colour over time, developing a natural patina.
Q: How should I care for the coated canvas and Vachetta leather? A: Wipe canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Keep Vachetta leather dry; avoid water, oils, alcohol‑based cleaners and prolonged sunlight or heat, which can stain or accelerate patina. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from humidity, to help maintain its shape.
Q: Can the strap be worn cross‑body and how adjustable is it? A: Yes. The Bandoulière strap is detachable and adjustable for shoulder or cross‑body carry. The drop typically adjusts roughly from about 36 cm to 50 cm, and the top handles have an approximate 10 cm drop for hand carry.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece comes with the detachable shoulder strap, a luggage tag and a handle fastener. Everything included is listed under product information; if an item such as a padlock or dust bag is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Is this considered vintage and where was it made? A: With date code SP1911, the bag was made in France in 2011. Many collectors regard 10‑plus‑year pieces as vintage; this aligns with the character and light patina noted in the condition report.
