The Louis Vuitton Keepall
The Keepall was created with versatility in mind and is available in four different sizes 45, 50, 55, and 60. the numbers mean the width at the bottom of the bag in centimeters. While the first three sizes are ideal for air travel carry-ons, the 60 is too big to fit overhead. Each bag has a baggage tag, a padlock, and a handle buckle.
However, no duffle is better suited for long-distance road trips than the Keepall 60. for those long holidays spent traveling from one place to another, then this bag is perfect for you. The Keepall may also be ordered with a removable Bandoulière (shoulder strap), which increases the bag’s wearability and strength. Check out some resale options below, perfect for men and women.

Bottega Veneta Intrecciato duffle bag for the perfect weekend trip
Initially developed in the 1970s to break away from the box-shaped, stiff duffles of the time came the Bottega Veneta Intrecciato duffel bag. The brand’s artisans weaved strips of soft leather together to create a criss-cross design that resulted in a lighter weight, more flexible bag, using glove leather that was lighter and more malleable than cow skins commonly used at the time.
Because of the handcrafted construction, this bag retains its shape whether crammed with items in the overhead bin or barely packed for a fast overnight trip.
