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 Kendall PM? A: As a structured weekender, it comfortably holds outfits for 2–3 days, a pair of shoes, a toiletry bag and tech essentials. Many users also carry a 13–14 inch laptop or tablet in a sleeve. Packing styles vary, so please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact capacity guidance.
Q: Is the Kendall PM suitable as airline cabin baggage? A: Its length is around 45 cm, which sits within common cabin-bag size limits used by many airlines. Policies vary by carrier and route, so we recommend checking your specific airline’s rules and avoiding overfilling to keep the bag within size expectations.
Q: Does this piece come with a shoulder strap and what is included? A: Yes. As listed in the product information for this item, it includes a detachable shoulder strap and a luggage tag. Only the items listed there are included with your purchase.
Q: What is Taiga leather and how does it wear? A: Taiga is a structured, finely grained calf leather used predominantly in Louis Vuitton’s men’s line. It’s known for a discreet look and good day‑to‑day durability with a light protective finish that helps resist surface scratches and minor moisture.
Q: How should I care for vintage Taiga leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth, keep the leather dry, and avoid soaps, solvents, or conditioners with oils. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid prolonged contact with dark or light fabrics that may transfer colour.
Q: What does the date code SP0997 mean? A: SP indicates manufacture in France. For codes from 1990–2006, the first and third digits show the month and the second and fourth the year—so 0 9 9 7 decodes to September 1997. Date codes are not unique serial numbers and should be considered alongside expert authentication.
Q: Is the Kendall PM still in production? A: This model is considered vintage and is typically available only on the pre‑owned market rather than the current Louis Vuitton retail assortment.
Q: How does the Kendall PM compare with a Keepall of similar size? A: The Kendall PM is more structured, with a boxier silhouette in Taiga leather and a suede‑lined interior with pockets. A comparable Keepall (e.g., 45) is softer and lighter, with a more pliable shape and typically fabric or coated‑canvas construction. Capacity for a short trip is similar; choice comes down to structure versus flexibility.
Q: Does the Kendall PM have interior pockets and what is the lining? A: Yes, vintage Kendall PM bags commonly feature a suede or microfibre interior with patch pockets for small essentials. Layout can vary slightly by production year.
Q: The colour is listed as Burgundy—does Louis Vuitton have a name for this shade? A: In the Taiga line, the burgundy family is often referred to as Acajou. Shade names can vary across seasons and categories, but Acajou is the typical Louis Vuitton designation for a deep burgundy in Taiga leather.
