Vintage Louis Vuitton Keepall 45 Monogram Canvas — 1989

In good preloved condition with the characteristic patina of a well-travelled vintage Louis Vuitton piece, complete with the original Louis Vuitton dust bag and two LV padlocks. A second hand Louis Vuitton Keepall with over three decades of heritage behind it.

About This Bag

Since 1930, the Louis Vuitton Keepall duffle has journeyed alongside generations of elegant globetrotters. The Keepall 45 — the most compact of the full-size Keepall range — strikes the ideal balance between practicality and portability, fitting comfortably in an overhead locker while carrying everything needed for a weekend away. This example, produced in France in December 1989, predates the modern production era and carries the hallmarks of the older Louis Vuitton manufacturing: a darker, more tightly woven monogram canvas, warm honey-toned vachetta leather with deep natural patina, and the older-style LV padlock in aged brass. 

The monogram canvas body is clean and intact with no cracking, peeling or structural issues — a testament to Louis Vuitton's legendary durability. The vachetta leather trim, handles and zip tab have developed a rich, dark honey patina consistent with age and use. Two LV padlocks are included. The brown canvas interior lining is clean. The vintage brass zip runs smoothly throughout.
