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‑baggage friendly? A: The Keepall 45 is one of the most travel‑friendly sizes and, at approximately 46 × 25 × 20 cm for this piece, typically falls within many airlines’ carry‑on limits. Policies vary by carrier and route, so please check your airline’s current allowance before you fly.
Q: What typically fits inside a Keepall 45? A: It’s ideal for a 1–2 night trip. Think two or three changes of clothes, a pair of shoes, underwear and toiletries, plus small tech and travel documents. Many travellers also add slim organisers to maximise space and keep items tidy.
Q: Will a laptop fit, and do I need a sleeve? A: Yes—13–14 inch laptops fit comfortably; a 16 inch laptop usually fits when placed horizontally. We recommend a padded sleeve and mindful packing to protect tech inside the soft, unstructured interior.
Q: Does this model come with a shoulder strap? A: This is the classic handheld Keepall 45, designed to be carried by its rolled leather handles (handle drop approx. 11 cm). The Bandoulière version includes side D‑rings and a detachable shoulder strap; the classic model does not.
Q: What’s the difference between Keepall sizes 45, 50, 55 and 60? A: The number refers to the bag’s length in centimetres. The 45 is the most compact weekender; the 50 adds extra room; the 55 is often the largest size many airlines accept in the cabin; the 60 is spacious for longer stays and typically needs to be checked in.
Q: How should I care for Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather? A: Wipe the coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Vachetta leather is naturally untreated and will develop a patina; avoid water, oils and prolonged sunlight to minimise marks and uneven darkening. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from heat and humidity.
Q: Is Monogram canvas waterproof or scratch‑proof? A: The coated canvas is durable and water‑resistant but not waterproof or scratch‑proof. The Vachetta leather trim is more delicate and can stain if exposed to moisture or dark fabrics, so take extra care in wet weather and with colour transfer.
Q: Where is the date code on a Keepall 45, and what if I can’t find one? A: On many vintage Keepalls, the date code is stamped on a small leather tab along an interior seam. Over time, codes can fade or become hard to read. Date codes indicate production details but are not proof of authenticity; if you need help locating or interpreting one, our team can assist.
Q: Can I add a shoulder strap to the classic Keepall? A: The classic Keepall 45 was not designed for a strap and does not have strap D‑rings. Aftermarket conversions exist, but they can stress the handles and hardware. For hands‑free carry, we recommend the Bandoulière version.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece comes with a luggage tag, a padlock and a handle holder. If an accessory isn’t listed under Accessories on this page, it is not included—feel free to contact us if you’d like us to confirm.
