Perfect for weekend escapes and short city breaks, the Louis Vuitton Monogram Keepall Bandoulière 55 brings iconic style to your travels. Spacious yet refined, it transitions effortlessly from car to train to hotel lobby, elevating your essentials with timeless Parisian luxury.
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: Is the Keepall Bandoulière 55 generally accepted as a carry-on? A: The 55 cm length is designed with cabin travel in mind and is accepted by many airlines as hand luggage. Policies vary by carrier, aircraft and route, so please check your airline’s current size and weight limits before you fly.
Q: What typically fits inside the Keepall Bandoulière 55? A: With approximate measurements 55 × 30 × 25 cm, it comfortably holds a long weekend’s wardrobe: several outfits, a pair of shoes, a toiletry bag and tech such as a 15–16 inch laptop in a sleeve. Efficient packers can stretch it to a full week depending on clothing choices. Refer to Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: What does Bandoulière mean, and does this piece include a strap? A: Bandoulière denotes the shoulder‑strap version of the Keepall. This item includes a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap, plus a luggage tag and handle keeper, as listed in the product information.
Q: Is Monogram Canvas real leather? A: Louis Vuitton’s classic Monogram is a coated canvas that is lightweight and durable. The trim, handles and strap are natural Vachetta leather, which will develop a darker patina over time.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather? A: Keep it away from water and oils, avoid harsh cleaners, and allow it to air‑dry if it gets damp. Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth; nourish Vachetta sparingly with a wax‑free conditioner if needed. Store the bag stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, away from heat and direct sunlight.
Q: Will rain damage the bag? A: The coated canvas resists light moisture, but the untreated Vachetta is absorbent and may spot or darken if wet. If caught in rain, blot gently with a soft cloth and let it dry naturally away from direct heat.
Q: What does the date code SP0931 tell me? A: SP indicates it was made in France. With four digits in this format (used before 2007), the first and third digits denote the month and the second and fourth the year, so 0931 points to March 1991.
Q: Is a padlock or dust bag included? A: Everything included with this item is listed in the product information. If an item such as a padlock, keys or dust bag is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How does the Keepall 55 compare to the 50 for travel? A: The 55 offers more packing space and suits longer trips, while the 50 tends to be accepted by stricter airlines more consistently. If you often fly budget or regional carriers, the 50 may be the safer cabin choice.
Q: How does A Retro Tale verify authenticity? A: Each piece is checked by our in‑house specialists using multi‑point inspection of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware and date codes. Date codes support a bag’s age and origin but are only one element of our authentication process.
