Louis Vuitton Keepall History: The Story of the Keepall
The Keepall is like Speedy, but larger! Well actually, it’s a travel bag with a lot of history and a smart design.
Let’s explore all that and more today in this Louis Vuitton Keepall history guide.
Keepall creation
Even though Louis Vuitton started as a trunk maker, one of the first handbags that were designed was Keepall in 1930!
As people were traveling more often, Gaston Vuitton saw that large boxy trunks were difficult to bring around. This is how Keepall was created as a more flexible duffel bag that instantly became popular.
The Keepall’s design
It was designed to meet the needs of travelers looking for a lightweight and durable bag that could carry all their essentials in style.
Anatomy of Louis Vuitton Keepall
As a lightweight but durable travel solution, the Keepall has exceptional space, is made with excellent leather canvas for durability, and is waterproof.
The handles are comfortable and can hold anything you place inside. And the side leather strips that wrap around the Keepall add durability and strength to the bag.
