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: With approximate dimensions of 55 × 29 × 25 cm, it comfortably holds several changes of clothes, a pair of shoes, a wash bag, and travel essentials. Many travellers use it as a smart weekender or gym/overnight bag. Capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Is the Keepall 55 cabin‑friendly for flights? A: The 55 size is generally designed to meet many airlines’ cabin bag limits and is often described as cabin‑friendly. Policies vary by carrier and aircraft, so we recommend confirming your airline’s current rules before travelling.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece, that includes a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap and a luggage tag personalised with the initials “T.M”. Items such as a padlock or keys are only included if specifically listed under product information.
Q: What is Monogram Macassar and how does it differ from classic Monogram? A: Monogram Macassar pairs Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram canvas with black leather trim and typically silver‑toned hardware, creating a sharper, more contemporary look compared to natural vachetta leather on classic Monogram. It was introduced as a modern, masculine take inspired by Macassar ebony wood.
Q: How should I care for the coated canvas and black leather trim? A: Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Keep the bag away from prolonged sunlight, humidity and heat sources, and avoid contact with oils, solvents and alcohol‑based products. Store it lightly stuffed in its dust bag to help maintain shape and avoid overfilling to prevent stress on seams and hardware.
Q: Does the Bandoulière version include a shoulder strap and can it be worn crossbody? A: Yes. Bandoulière models are designed with a detachable, adjustable strap for shoulder or crossbody wear. Please see the Measurements section for the strap drop noted on this page to gauge your preferred carry.
Q: What does the date code AA3186 mean on this bag? A: The two letters indicate the country of manufacture (AA = France). For codes from this era, the first and third numbers show the production week and the second and fourth numbers show the year. AA3186 therefore indicates production in France in the 38th week of 2016.
Q: I’ve heard newer Louis Vuitton bags don’t have date codes—is that true? A: Yes. From 2021, Louis Vuitton began phasing out visible date codes in favour of embedded microchips. Earlier pieces, like this one, carry traditional date codes, while newer items may not have a visible code.
Q: The luggage tag has initials—can they be removed? A: Louis Vuitton offers hot‑stamping personalisation but does not typically remove existing initials. Because the initials are heat‑impressed into the leather, removal is not advised. A practical option is to purchase a replacement luggage tag (subject to boutique availability).
Q: Is the Keepall 55 suitable for everyday use or as a gym bag? A: Many owners use the Keepall as a durable daily or gym holdall thanks to its lightweight coated canvas and roomy interior. For comfort, use the shoulder strap when the bag is heavily packed and avoid carrying excessive weight over long periods.
