Description
Model History:
Introduced in the 1930s, the Keepall was designed to accompany modern travelers on their short trips. Its name evokes the idea of taking everything with you, without compromising between style and functionality. The 55 model is the most versatile version, respecting cabin dimensions while offering generous storage volume. This model dated 1992 testifies to a period of particularly careful production at Louis Vuitton, with a quality of materials and finishes which explains its remarkable conservation.
External Details:
The brown coated Monogram canvas, decorated with LV emblems and fleur-de-lys, retains all its original shine and texture. The natural cowhide leather, used for the handles, side reinforcements, vertical bands and shoulder strap, has a homogeneous honey patina. The stitches are neat and strong. The gilded brass jewelry is in very good condition, with slight signs of oxidation related to time, without impact on functionality. The bottom corners are almost intact, without pronounced rubbing, a rare detail for a vintage bag of this size.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined with an original dark brown textile canvas, very well preserved. The space is large and without compartments, which makes it easier to store bulky items. The lining has no tears, notable stains or odors, highlighting careful use. Full-length zipper opening ensures quick and convenient access to contents.
Product Condition:
The bag is in excellent condition. The canvas has no defects, scratches or sagging. The leather elements are well preserved, with only a few superficial marks on the underside. The shoulder strap is flexible, without cracks, and all the metal parts are functional. The zipper works perfectly. The lower corners, often subject to wear, show only very slight friction. Superb patina.
Care Tips:
To preserve the quality of the Monogram canvas, a simple, slightly dampened soft cloth is sufficient. Natural, untreated leather can be maintained with a specific nourishing milk without adding excessive fatty substances. It is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, humidity or direct heat sources. The bag should be stored flat or filled with tissue paper to maintain its shape.
