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 45? A: As a compact weekender (approx. 45 × 26 × 20 cm), it comfortably holds outfits for 1–3 days, a pair of shoes, toiletries, and tech essentials such as a 13–14 inch laptop in a sleeve. Capacity depends on how you pack—refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the Keepall 45 carry-on compliant? A: Yes, the 45 is generally considered cabin size for many airlines. Policies can vary by carrier and route, so please check your airline’s current hand luggage allowance before travelling.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: This is the classic handheld Keepall 45 designed to be carried by its dual rolled handles (approx. 10 cm drop). Only the Bandoulière versions are made with strap attachments; this piece does not include or natively support a shoulder strap.
Q: Does this Epi Keepall have an exterior pocket? A: Yes. This Epi leather edition features a convenient exterior side slip pocket for easy-access items like travel documents or a phone, as noted in the product information.
Q: What are the benefits of Epi leather? A: Epi is a robust, textured, dyed-through leather known for its durability and resistance to scratches and light moisture. It holds structure well, making it an excellent choice for travel and daily use.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals, oils, or prolonged exposure to heat/sunlight to prevent colour fading. Store in a breathable dust bag with light stuffing to help the bag keep its shape.
Q: What does the date code VI 1924 indicate? A: The factory code VI denotes manufacture in France. With the 1990–2006 format, the first and third digits indicate the month and the second and fourth the year—so VI 1924 corresponds to December 1994.
Q: What items are included with this piece? A: Included items are listed in the product information. For this item: dust bag, padlock, luggage tag, and poignet. If keys or other items are not listed there, they are not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by specialists using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date code logic. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: Can I attach an aftermarket strap? A: The classic Keepall 45 is not designed with D-rings for a strap, so aftermarket attachments are not recommended as they may stress the handles or hardware. If you prefer a strap, consider a Bandoulière version of the Keepall.
