Vintage Louis Vuitton Epi Keepall45 Bag 1991 Blue

Deep blue Epi leather, textured with parallel ridges and set off by gold-tone hardware, shapes this Louis Vuitton Keepall45 from 1991. The structured holdall form is anchored by dual top handles and a crisp silhouette, while the LV logo is heat-stamped into the lower corner in classic relief. Zipper closure runs the length of the top, with engraved pulls and reinforced corners bearing signs of travel. The bag is accompanied by its original box.

Inside, the dark blue textile lining offers a large main compartment, complemented by a zipped pocket and two slip pockets for smaller items. Gold-tone hardware throughout, with every rivet and buckle marked by the house's signature. The corners and base show surface scuffing and wear consistent with careful journeys.

The date code VI 0971 places this Keepall45 at mid-year 1991, crafted in France at a time when Louis Vuitton’s Epi line—launched just six years earlier—brought drum-dyed, ridged cowhide into the brand's travel icons. The construction is pure early-90s Vuitton: robust, instantly identifiable, built for movement.
