Perfect for weekend getaways and impromptu city breaks, the Louis Vuitton Monogram Keepall Bandoulière 55 elevates every journey. Reach for it on a countryside escape, an overnight business trip, or a stylish road adventure—an iconic companion when travelling light with unmistakable LV style.
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, it comfortably holds outfits for a few days, a pair of shoes, toiletries, and travel essentials. Packing cubes help maximise space. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions of this item.
Q: Is the Keepall 55 carry‑on compliant? A: The 55 size is generally considered cabin‑friendly with many airlines and is designed with travel in mind. Policies can vary by carrier and aircraft, so we recommend checking your specific airline’s rules before flying.
Q: What is the difference between the Keepall and the Keepall Bandoulière? A: The Bandoulière version includes a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap and reinforced side details for hands‑free wear, whereas the classic Keepall is hand‑carried by the top handles only.
Q: Can the strap be worn cross‑body and how long is it? A: Yes. The Bandoulière strap is adjustable for shoulder or cross‑body wear. Typical drop ranges allow comfortable cross‑body on most builds; please see the Measurements for this item’s specific strap drop.
Q: What does the date code TH0975 indicate? A: TH denotes a French workshop. For this four‑digit format used from 1990–2006, the first and third digits indicate the month and the second and fourth indicate the year—so TH0975 points to July 1995 in France. Note that a date code alone does not authenticate a bag; it’s just one data point.
Q: What is the material—Is Monogram canvas leather or waterproof? A: Louis Vuitton’s Monogram is a durable coated canvas, paired here with natural cowhide (Vachetta) leather trims. The canvas is hard‑wearing and can be wiped with a damp cloth, but the Vachetta is untreated and can darken and mark with water or oils, so brief rain should be blotted dry promptly.
Q: How should I care for this vintage Keepall? A: For canvas, wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soapy water; avoid alcohol‑based products, oils, or harsh cleaners. For Vachetta, keep dry, avoid contact with liquids and cosmetics, and allow the natural patina to develop; if it gets wet, blot gently with a light, lint‑free cloth. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information for this piece. For this item, that includes a detachable shoulder strap, luggage tag, handle fastener (poignet), and padlock with keys. If an item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How many compartments does it have? A: The Keepall 55 typically has one large main compartment with a two‑way zip closure, making it easy to pack and access your belongings.
Q: How do you verify authenticity? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point inspection by our in‑house experts, including materials, stitching, stamps, hardware, and date code review. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share further details on request.
