Description
Model History:
The Keepall, created in 1930, is one of Louis Vuitton’s iconic travel bags. Initially conceived as a modern, supple version of the traditional trunk, it has accompanied the evolution of travel modes in the XXᵉ century. The “Alps” edition, launched as a limited series, pays homage to the world of travel and the aesthetics of vintage hotel labels, once glued to the house’s trunks and suitcases. The graphite check pattern, introduced in 2008, reinforces its contemporary, masculine allure.
Exterior Details:
The bag is crafted in black and gray graphite checkerboard canvas, enhanced by colorful screen-printed and embroidered patches featuring the LV logo and stylized alpine landscapes. Smooth black leather trim, highlighted by a red border, provides a refined contrast. The bag features a double-zip closure with engraved Louis Vuitton padlock. Rolled handles and an adjustable leather shoulder strap enhance the model’s versatility.
Interior details:
The interior is lined with sober, hard-wearing black canvas. It includes a large main compartment to hold the essentials for a short stay, as well as a patch zipped pocket for small personal effects. The whole is designed to combine functionality and sturdiness, in the tradition of Louis Vuitton luggage.
Product Condition:
The bag is in very good condition. The canvas is intact and retains its bright colors. The leather parts are in good condition, with very slight signs of use. The interior is clean, with no noticeable stains. Zips and padlock are fully functional.
Care instructions:
To preserve the checkerboard fabric and patches, clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid prolonged contact with moisture and direct heat. Black leather can be cared for from time to time with appropriate care. Store the bag in a dustbag when not in use to avoid premature wear.
Why Choose This Product :
