REINTERPRETED ICON WATERPROOF KEEPALL 2.0 – Created in 1930, the
Keepall travel bag is considered an indisputable icon among the classics
created by LouisVuitton. The Keepall perfectly illustrates the
expertise and consistent development that characterise the
Maison’sproducts. Following the first waterproof version of this
timeless bag that was launched in 2007, and to celebrate the 30-year
anniversary of the Louis Vuitton Cup, the brand is introducing a new
waterproof Keepall in the signature colours of the event.
In 1901, Louis Vuitton invented the “Steamer bag”, a revolutionary
bag which, at the time of great transatlantic crossings, broke new
ground with the introduction of the concept of soft-sided luggage. In
1930, the Maison continued its innovative voyage and launched the
“Keepall”, a roomy and light holdall which was the fore- runner of
modern weekend bags. A new way to travel was born.
Originally designed as an additional bag to accompany more
traditional luggage, the Keepall was made out of cotton canvas. Supple
and practical, it could be slipped into the bottom of a suitcase. Its
lightness and its large capacity led to its name, the “Keep all”. Very
soon after it was first seen, the Keepall stood out as THE classic of
the brand and today has became a favourite accessory of stars throughout
the world, from Marlène Dietrich to Jackie Kennedy, Catherine Deneuve
to Angelina Jolie and Kate Moss to Scarlett Johansson. A true icon of
Louis Vuitton, the Keepall is constantly renewedand refreshed over the
years to give new life and new interpre-tations to a great classic. - ilvoelv
