Perfect for weekend escapes or elegant hand luggage travel, this vintage Louis Vuitton Keepall Bandoulière 55 in Monogram canvas brings timeless style to every journey.

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 Bandoulière 55? A: As a generously sized weekender (approx. 55 × 31 × 24 cm), it comfortably holds several outfits, a pair of shoes, a toiletry bag, travel tech, and small accessories. Many travellers also add a laptop in a protective sleeve. Capacity varies by how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the Keepall 55 usually accepted as cabin baggage? A: The 55 size is designed to meet carry-on limits on many airlines and, being soft-sided, can compress slightly. Policies differ by carrier and aircraft, so we recommend checking your specific airline’s rules before flying, especially on regional or stricter routes.
Q: What is the difference between the classic Keepall and the Keepall Bandoulière? A: The Bandoulière version includes detachable, adjustable shoulder-carry capability and reinforcing leather bands with D-rings, offering hands-free wear. The classic Keepall is hand-carry only with dual rolled handles.
Q: Does this particular item come with a shoulder strap or other accessories? A: Yes. This piece includes a detachable shoulder strap as listed under Accessories. Items not listed (such as a padlock, keys, luggage tag, or dust bag) are not included—please review the Accessories section for what comes with this bag.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather? A: Wipe coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. For Vachetta leather, avoid water, oils, alcohol-based products, and prolonged sunlight or heat, as it is designed to patinate and may darken with exposure. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain shape.
Q: Can the Bandoulière 55 be worn crossbody? A: The adjustable strap allows shoulder or short crossbody wear for many builds, though fit depends on height and preference. If you plan to wear it crossbody frequently, check the listed strap measurement (approx. 50 cm on this piece) against your ideal drop.
Q: How heavy does it feel when packed? A: As a spacious soft duffle, the 55 can feel heavy when fully loaded. The shoulder strap helps distribute weight for longer walks, while hand carry keeps the bag closer to the body for short distances. Packing cubes can improve balance and comfort.
Q: What does the date code SO851 indicate? A: SO denotes a French workshop. With the three-digit 1980s format, 851 indicates production in January 1985. Date codes support dating only and are one element of authentication.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every piece is vetted by our in-house specialists using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware, and date code analysis. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share additional photos or details on request.
