Vintage Louis Vuitton Epi Leather Keepall Travel Bag Blue Gold

The deep blue Epi leather is incised with Louis Vuitton’s signature textured wave, its surface marked by scratches and scuffs that trace the contours of travel and use. Gold-tone hardware anchors the double rolled handles and runs along the substantial zip closure, details that lend a subtle gleam to the robust exterior. The LV embossed logo sits low on the front panel, understated yet unmistakable.

A classic duffle silhouette, the bag opens to reveal a black suede lining and a generous single compartment with no interior pockets, prioritising open space over division. Carry options include both hand and shoulder via dual rolled handles and an adjustable strap, suiting all wardrobes equally. The original box accompanies the piece.

This example is the Louis Vuitton Keepall, rendered here in Epi leather—a material introduced in 1985 as the house’s first durable, textured alternative to monogram canvas. The date code VI0987 suggests production in France in 1997, during a period when the Keepall’s pared-back, hardware-forward design continued to define modern travel for the house.
