Gaston-Louis Vuitton introduced the Keepall in 1930 as a modern, lightweight weekend bag. It was nicknamed the "globe-trotter" or "tient-tout" ("hold-all"), and it was meant to be folded flat and packed inside a suitcase until needed.
The Keepall has a single spacious compartment. It was first made in cotton canvas, and moved to the house's Monogram canvas in the 1960s. It comes in 45, 50, 55 and 60 centimetre sizes, with or without a shoulder strap (Bandoulière), and each one is supplied with a luggage tag, padlock and keys.
Alongside the classic coated canvases, Louis Vuitton releases limited-edition Keepalls every year. Notable versions include the Graffiti, the Monogramouflage, the Supreme collaboration of 2017 and the metallic Miroir of 2006. The Monogram Eclipse and Damier Graphite versions, introduced in 2008 and 2016, have made it one of the house's most popular men's bags.
