A Keepall 55 is the model at its most useful, big enough for a week, light enough to carry loaded, and flat enough to disappear into a wardrobe between trips. This one presents at Grade C - Very Good: canvas in strong order, structure square, and vachetta that has aged into an even mid-tone rather than blotching. The poignet is included, the leather wrap that gathers the handles together and is missing from a surprising number of bags at every grade. Coated canvas is what allows a bag of this age to still be used for its original purpose without special care, and that is the argument for buying a large Keepall secondhand at all. Bidders after the practical end of the line, not a display piece, will find this one straightforward. Maison de Beaubigonne authenticity guaranteed. Dimensions: 22"W x 12"H x 9"D; 4" handle drop; 16.5-21" strap drop
