Description & history
A Louis Vuitton Keepall 45 travel bag in Monogram coated canvas · handles, straps and details in caramel-patinated cowhide leather · gold-tone brass hardware · functional double zip · padlock and keys included · date code SP**** · Made in France · 1995 · 45 × 27 × 20 cm · grade B.
The Keepall is the bag through which Louis Vuitton entered the twentieth century. Until then, the house made trunks: rigid, heavy objects designed for ocean liners and trains. In the 1930s, aeroplanes and cars changed the landscape — luggage needed to be soft, able to be filled, folded and stored away. The Keepall was born from this constraint, and its name states its purpose: keep everything. It is the house's first modern piece of luggage, and it has barely changed since.
The 45 is the smallest format, and by far the most practical for everyday use. Its 45 cm length qualifies as cabin baggage, making it the ideal bag for weekends and short trips: a pair of shoes, a toiletry bag, clothes for three to four days and a tablet fit comfortably inside its spacious single compartment. The double zip runs the full length and opens wide — you pack the bag like a suitcase, not a tote.
This version comes in Monogram coated canvas, with handles, straps and details in natural cowhide leather. Left untreated when it leaves the workshop, this leather slowly gains colour through contact with light and hands: this one has developed a lovely even warm caramel patina, that of a bag that has genuinely travelled. Its date code SP**** places its manufacture in France in 1995 — a thirty-year-old piece with true vintage character.
Lovely vintage condition, grade B — clean, stain-free coated canvas, lovely even leather patina, corners in good condition, functional zip closure, clean and odour-free interior with light signs of previous use. Please note: the handles show light rubbing and a few discreet marks, and the leather strips at the front show light rubbing — all documented in the photos. No other major flaws. Sold with its padlock, keys and RARR Vintage certificate of authenticity.
