Perfect for weekend getaways, spontaneous city breaks and overnight business trips, the Louis Vuitton Keepall Bandoulière 55 brings timeless polish to every journey—seamlessly taking you from train platform to hotel lobby with all your essentials in tow.
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 roomy weekender (approx. 55 × 30 × 25 cm for this piece), it can hold outfits for a long weekend, a pair of shoes, toiletries, and larger essentials such as a 15-inch laptop in a sleeve. Capacity varies by how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the Keepall 55 usually accepted as cabin baggage? A: Generally yes. At 55 cm in length, it aligns with common airline cabin size limits, but rules can vary by carrier and aircraft. Avoid overfilling and check your airline’s current allowance before travelling, especially on smaller regional flights.
Q: What does “Bandoulière” mean and how does it differ from the classic Keepall? A: “Bandoulière” denotes the version with a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap and corresponding D-rings, allowing comfortable shoulder or crossbody carry in addition to the dual rolled handles.
Q: Does this model have interior pockets? A: The classic Monogram Keepall Bandoulière 55 typically has one large open compartment with cotton textile lining and no built-in interior pockets. Some later variations may include a zipped pocket, but this vintage example has a spacious open interior—please see photos.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information. For this piece: detachable shoulder strap, luggage tag, handle fastener (poignet), and a padlock.
Q: Are keys included for the padlock? A: Keys are only included if they are specifically listed in the product information. For this listing, a padlock is included; keys are not listed.
Q: What does the date code TH0974 mean? A: The letters TH indicate manufacture in France. With this 1990s format, the first and third digits denote the month and the second and fourth the year—so TH0974 corresponds to July 1994.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather? A: Wipe coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Vachetta leather is natural and untreated; it will deepen in colour and may mark with water or oils. Avoid rain, direct sunlight, and harsh cleaners. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag. For visible watermarks or heavy staining, consult a professional leather specialist.
Q: Does this item have any odour or wear I should know about? A: Yes. As noted in the condition report, the Vachetta leather shows a visible patina with watermarks and scuffing; hardware has scratches and some tarnish; the lining has light stains; and there is a slight vintage odour. Airing in a cool, dry place with odour absorbers can help; avoid perfumes or moisture-based sprays.
Q: Can it carry a laptop safely? A: The Keepall 55 can accommodate most 15-inch laptops thanks to its width. We recommend using a padded sleeve and placing the laptop flat along the base or side to protect it during travel.
