Description
History of the Model: 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 carrying. This bag from 1989 embodies the balance between utility and style, with traditional manufacturing and sustainable materials. Exterior Details: The Monogram canvas is in very good condition, without structural defects, with a clear and homogeneous print. 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 clean, tear-free dark brown cotton canvas. It does not have compartments but offers a large storage volume. The date code is present inside, confirming manufacture in 1989. Condition of the Product: 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. Maintenance 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. Store the bag lined with neutral paper, away from humidity and light, and avoid hanging it loaded by the handles. Why Choose this Product: This Keepall 55 Bandoulière embodies the essence of the Louis Vuitton travel bag: practical, iconic and designed to last. Its marked patina and well-preserved details make it an authentic piece, full of character, which will appeal to vintage lovers looking for a functional, elegant model faithful to the spirit of travel.
