The 45 is the Keepall that stopped being travel gear and became a bag people carry daily, which is why the small size now outruns its larger siblings on the secondary market. Its proportions are the same as the full-size versions, simply compressed, so it reads as the real thing rather than as a scaled-down substitute. The grade lands at Grade C - Very Good: canvas that still looks sharp, corners that have kept shape and leather that has toned evenly across the handles. The double zip opens the full length of the top for flat access, and the body still folds down to almost nothing between uses, which is the trick that keeps these in wardrobes for decades. Small Keepalls in strong grades are the ones that disappear first in a sale like this, and the condition on this example puts it near the front of that queue. Maison de Beaubigonne authenticity guaranteed. Dimensions: 19.5"W x 10"H x 8"D; 4" handle drop; 5" strap drop
