Why the Keepall is iconic
Created in 1930, the Keepall pioneered the lightweight, soft-sided travel bag and remains the blueprint for the modern weekender. Its rounded barrel shape, double handles and padlock have made it a symbol of stylish, low-effort travel for decades.
What to pay pre-owned
Expect a pre-owned UK range of roughly £450 to £800, with a median around £567. Bandoulière versions with a shoulder strap, Damier, larger sizes, newer eras and clean vachetta command more; heavy patina, cracked leather and interior wear reduce value.
Sizes & variants
Sizes run 45, 50, 55 and 60, in Monogram and Damier; the Bandoulière versions with a detachable shoulder strap are the most sought after for hands-free travel.
How to authenticate
- 1.Check for a made-in stamp and date code that is cleanly and evenly embossed in its interior location.
- 2.Inspect the stitching around the handles and trim for regular, even stitches and consistent count.
- 3.Feel the weight of the padlock and zip hardware and read the engraving for crisp lettering. For higher-value or vintage travel bags, buy from sellers offering an authentication guarantee.
