Designed for effortless weekend escapes, this Louis Vuitton Monogram Keepall 50 is the quintessential carryall for city breaks and countryside getaways. Its iconic brown monogram and vintage character elevate travel attire, offering room for a couple of days' essentials while keeping your journey refined from departure lounge to hotel check-in.
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 Louis Vuitton Keepall 50? A: The Keepall 50 is the quintessential weekend bag, offering a generous capacity without being unwieldy. It typically accommodates 3–4 days of clothing, a toiletry bag, a pair of shoes, and travel essentials like a laptop or iPad. Its soft‑sided Monogram canvas construction allows it to be packed more flexibly than rigid suitcases. Please refer to the Measurements on this page (approx. 50 × 28 × 22 cm) to ensure it suits your needs.
Q: Is the Keepall 50 suitable as cabin luggage? A: Yes, the Keepall 50 is widely considered the ideal carry‑on size. It generally fits within the cabin baggage limits of most major airlines, including British Airways and many budget carriers. However, as allowances vary, we always recommend checking your specific airline’s restrictions before flying.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: This specific piece is the classic handheld Keepall model, designed to be carried by its sturdy rolled leather handles. It does not feature the side D‑rings found on the “Bandoulière” versions, so a shoulder strap cannot be directly attached. It carries comfortably by hand or in the crook of the arm.
Q: What is the condition of the vintage Vachetta leather? A: This bag was produced in 1995 and the Vachetta leather has developed a rich, honey‑coloured patina—a natural characteristic of Louis Vuitton’s untreated hide. As noted in the “External Condition” section, this piece shows signs of its journey, including watermarks and scuffing, which add to its authentic vintage charm. We recommend keeping the leather dry and avoiding heavy creams.
Q: Can the bag be folded for storage? A: Yes, one of the Keepall’s defining features is its ability to fold flat, making it easy to pack inside a larger suitcase or store in a drawer. To maintain the shape of the canvas and handles when not in use, we recommend stuffing it lightly with acid‑free tissue or a pillow and storing it in a breathable dust bag.
Q: Where is this bag made and how do I date it? A: This bag features the date code SP0995, indicating it was manufactured in France in September 1995. You will typically find this code stamped on a leather tab inside the bag. Our in‑house experts have verified this code as part of our rigorous authentication process.
Q: Is a padlock and key included? A: The “Accessories” section lists exactly what accompanies this item. For this specific piece, a luggage tag is included, but a padlock and key are not. The double zippers function smoothly and can accommodate a standard LV padlock if you choose to add one later.
Q: How do you authenticate this vintage piece? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a multi‑point inspection by our expert team. We verify the materials, stitching, hardware, and date code (SP0995) to ensure they align with Louis Vuitton’s production standards for 1995. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
