Perfect for weekend escapes and stylish city breaks, the Louis Vuitton Keepall Bandoulière 55 carries your essentials with effortless elegance. From quick business trips to leisurely getaways, its roomy silhouette and classic Monogram finish ensure refined travel wherever you go.
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 usually accepted as carry-on luggage? A: Generally yes. At approximately 55 × 31 × 24 cm in the classic specification, it is designed with cabin travel in mind and fits in most overhead bins when not overstuffed. As rules vary by airline and aircraft, please check your carrier’s current allowance before flying.
Q: What fits inside a Keepall 55 for a weekend away? A: Typically 2–4 outfits, a pair of shoes, toiletries, travel documents, chargers and a tablet or small laptop, plus smaller essentials. Packing cubes or soft organisers help maximise space and keep items tidy.
Q: What does “Bandoulière” mean—and does this item include the strap? A: Bandoulière denotes the version with a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap for hands‑free wear. This bag includes a detachable shoulder strap, luggage tag and handle keeper (poignet) as listed under Accessories.
Q: What are this item’s measurements and drops? A: Approximate measurements are 56 × 30 × 25 cm. Handle drop is about 11 cm. The shoulder strap drop is about 50 cm and adjustable for shoulder or cross‑body wear. Minor variations are normal for vintage pieces.
Q: What materials is it made from and how durable is it? A: Monogram coated canvas is light, hard‑wearing and water‑resistant. The trim is natural Vachetta leather, which is untreated by design; it will develop a honey patina over time and is more sensitive to moisture and oils. This combination makes the Keepall robust for regular travel while gaining character with use.
Q: How should I care for Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather? A: Wipe canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it gently. Keep Vachetta away from water, lotions and dark textiles to prevent marks and colour transfer; dab accidental splashes and let them dry naturally. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, strap detached, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Q: Does the Keepall 55 have interior pockets? A: This particular piece has a brown textile lining with one internal pocket, as noted in the features. Interior configurations can vary slightly by production period.
Q: Is a padlock included? A: Only the items listed under Accessories are included. For this bag, that’s the detachable strap, luggage tag and poignet. If a padlock or keys are not listed, they are not included.
Q: What does the date code FH0940 indicate? A: Louis Vuitton used letter‑number codes to show factory and production date. For codes used from 1990–2006, the letters indicate the factory and the first and third digits show the month while the second and fourth show the year. FH0940 therefore corresponds to April 1990 and should align with the “Made in” stamp on the bag.
