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 45 cabin-friendly for most airlines? A: Generally yes. At approximately 45 × 28 × 21 cm, the Keepall 45 falls within the cabin allowance of many carriers, though limits vary by airline and ticket type. We recommend checking your specific airline’s rules before travelling.
Q: What typically fits inside the Keepall 45? A: It is ideal for a 2–3 day trip. Think two changes of clothes, a light jumper, underwear, a compact toiletry bag, a pair of shoes, and small tech items. A 13-inch laptop in a sleeve can fit, though we suggest placing it flat to maintain the bag’s shape. Capacity depends on packing style—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Does this bag have a shoulder strap? A: This is the classic, handheld Keepall 45. It is designed to be carried by the dual rolled top handles (approx. 11 cm handle drop) and does not include the detachable strap found on the Keepall Bandoulière versions.
Q: Is there an exterior pocket on this model? A: Yes. This specific Epi edition features one slim exterior slip pocket, handy for travel documents or other flat items you need quick access to. Avoid overfilling to preserve the silhouette.
Q: What are the benefits of Louis Vuitton’s Epi leather? A: Epi leather is renowned for its textured grain, structure, and durability. It is dyed through and finished with a protective coating that offers good resistance to scratches and light moisture—excellent for frequent use and travel.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt, then dry with a clean towel. Avoid harsh chemicals, oils, or alcohol-based wipes. Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight and heat, and store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape.
Q: What does the date code VI0941 mean? A: VI indicates manufacture in France. For the early-1990s format, the 1st and 3rd digits denote the month and the 2nd and 4th digits the year—so 0 and 4 = April, 9 and 1 = 1991. Therefore, this piece was made in France in April 1991. Note that a date code alone does not authenticate a bag; our team performs a full, multi‑point inspection on every item.
Q: Does it come with items like a padlock, keys or a dust bag? A: Only what is specifically listed in the product information is included. If an item such as a padlock or dust bag is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Is the Keepall 45 suitable for daily gym use and all genders? A: Absolutely. The Keepall’s streamlined shape and robust Epi leather make it a versatile, unisex holdall that works as a smart gym bag or weekender. Use smaller pouches to organise items and help the bag keep its structure.
Q: Where should I stow the bag on a plane? A: The Keepall 45 usually fits in the overhead locker. Under‑seat space varies by aircraft; if lightly packed it may fit beneath some seats, but overhead storage is the safer choice.
