Description
Model History:
The Keepall was designed by Louis Vuitton in 1924 to support the rise of modern travel. Light, flexible and foldable, it quickly established itself as a benchmark travel bag. The Keepall 55 model is the largest size allowed in cabin baggage, ideal for trips lasting a few days. The shoulder strap version, with removable strap, allows comfortable shoulder carry. This bag from 1989 embodies the balance between utility and style, with traditional manufacturing and sustainable materials.
External Details:
The Monogram canvas is in very good condition, without structural defects, with a clear and homogeneous impression. Natural cowhide leather has a rich patina, with traces of time and use. The handles, vertical straps and reinforcements are solid. The original shoulder strap is complete and functional. The brass jewelry shows good conservation, particularly on the strap elements. The zipper remains fluid, and the seams are well maintained.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined with dark brown cotton canvas, clean and tear-free. It does not have compartments but offers a large storage volume. The date code is present inside, confirming manufacture in 1989.
Product Condition:
The bag is in very good general condition for a model over 30 years old. The canvas is intact, without snags or stains. The leather displays a beautiful patina, with some variations in color and discreet marks linked to its natural aging. The strap is supple, functional, and the jewelry shows light and regular wear, consistent with the age of the bag.
Care Tips:
Clean the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Apply a treatment suitable for natural leathers to nourish the leather without altering its patina. Keep the bag lined with neutral paper, away from humidity and light, and avoid hanging it loaded by the handles.
