Description
Model History:
Introduced in the 1930s, the Keepall was born at a time when elegance extended to luggage. Created to accompany travel by train or boat, it remains a symbol of stylized freedom. In 2023, Louis Vuitton invites multidisciplinary artist KidSuper to put his stamp on this iconic model. This collaboration, led by Virgil Abloh’s creative legacy, injects the Monogram canvas with an emotional and expressive dimension. Each printed portrait acts as a self-portrait of the gaze, a staging of the face as a territory of identity. The result: a utilitarian object transformed into a visual manifesto.
Exterior details:
The traditional Monogram canvas is used here as the basis for a bold composition, featuring flat tones of beige, brown, ochre and sand. The “portrait” motif occupies each side of the bag, with a central focus on the eye, emphasized by a smooth, clean, contrasting black leather yokeapplied in relief. Vertical straps and a removable shoulder strap in Monogram canvas recall the classic codes of the house, while jewels in aged gold-plated brass add a discreet, almost timeless patina. Size: 55 x 31 x 26 cm – compact, yet spacious.
Interior details:
The interior, fully lined in black canvas, is free of any marks or stains. The main compartment is wide and deep, with no unnecessary partitions, in keeping with the Keepall’s minimalist spirit. An interior zipped pocket secures personal belongings. The two-way zipper works perfectly, and the seams are clean and reinforced. The whole thing exudes assembly quality and durability designed for travel.
Product Condition:
This bag is in new, unworn, unused condition. No creases on the handles, no patina on the leather, no signs of rubbing or wear on the canvas or corners. The metal parts show no scratches or tarnishing. The padlock and its two keys are intact, and the luggage tag is blank, with no markings or traces of stamping. The dustbag is supplied, as is the original Louis Vuitton box, rigid and in perfect condition. A complete, rare set, worthy of a boutique purchase.
Care instructions:
To preserve the brilliance of the printed motif and the integrity of the canvas, avoid prolonged exposure to direct light or humidity. Clean with a soft, dry cloth, without abrasive products. Store the bag in its dustbag, away from sources of heat. Smooth black leather can be nourished from time to time with a suitable care product, although it is not particularly fragile.
