Louis Vuitton vintage Keepall 45 with shoulder strap

Model history:
The Keepall is one of Louis Vuitton’s great classics. Created in the 1930s, it was designed as a flexible, lightweight travel bag that was more modern than the house's traditional rigid trunks. Its name directly evokes its function: being able to “take everything” in a practical and elegant format.

The 45 format is particularly sought after because it remains compact while offering real storage capacity. It is often appreciated as a weekend bag, but also as an everyday style piece. In its Monogram version with shoulder strap, the Keepall retains the travel spirit of Louis Vuitton while gaining in practicality.

Exterior details:
The exterior is made of coated Monogram canvas, an emblematic Louis Vuitton material, recognized for its resistance and immediately identifiable style. The natural leather finishes highlight the structure of the bag: handles, vertical bands, side tabs, address holder and shoulder strap. Over time, the leather has developed a honey patina typical of vintage Louis Vuitton pieces, bringing character to the model.

The bag has two top handles allowing comfortable carrying in the hand, as well as an adjustable and removable strap for carrying on the shoulder. The gold metallic details, the double-slider zipper and the padlock complete the look elegantly. The corners and sides have good overall strength, while the canvas maintains a beautiful visual appearance.

Interior details:
The interior has a large main compartment, faithful to the design of the Keepall: simple, spacious and functional. Its brown textile lining makes it easy to accommodate clothing, accessories or personal effects for a short stay. The flexible format of the bag allows for good storage capacity while remaining pleasant to carry.

The full-length zipper opening provides easy access to contents, making this model particularly practical for travel. The interior is in good general condition and remains suitable for regular use.

Why choose this product?
This Keepall 45 is an excellent choice for those looking for a Louis Vuitton piece that is iconic, practical and vintage. Its 45 cm size is very versatile: large enough to go on a weekend trip, but easier to carry than a 50 or 55 size. The presence of the shoulder strap is also a real asset, because it makes the bag more comfortable and more functional on a daily basis.

Its year of production, 1993, gives it a real vintage dimension, while maintaining a very current look. The natural patina of the leather brings charm and authenticity, without detracting from the elegance of the model. It is a timeless piece, easy to combine, which lasts through the years without losing its desirability.

Maintenance tips:
To preserve this Keepall, it is recommended to store it in a dry place, away from humidity, direct light and heat sources. When not in use, it is best to store it lightly padded to maintain its shape and avoid excessive creases.

Monogram canvas can be gently wiped with a soft, dry cloth. Natural leather parts must be handled with care, as they are sensitive to water, stains and greasy products. It is recommended to avoid contact with rain, perfume, chemicals or clothing that may transfer color. To maintain a beautiful, even patina, it is best to handle the leather with clean, dry hands.

State :
Very good general condition. The Monogram canvas has a beautiful appearance and maintains good hold. The natural leathers show a regular vintage patina, with some marks of use consistent with the age of the bag. The metal parts and the closure are in good visual condition. The bag comes with its shoulder strap, its address tag and its padlock.
