Against the crisper 45s in this category, this one has been used considerably harder, and the catalogue says so directly. It stands at Grade E - Fair, with canvas and leather that both show the accumulated effect of real travel rather than the light marking of occasional use. The size is the draw: eighteen inches across, the smallest Keepall made, and the one that works as an everyday bag as readily as an overnight one. Its luggage tag and its poignet are both here, and those two leather details do a great deal for the way a well-travelled example presents in the hand. The construction underneath is identical to that of every other Keepall in the range, which is precisely why bags arrive at this stage of their life still entirely usable. Maison de Beaubigonne authenticity guaranteed. Dimensions: 18"W x 10"H x 8"D; 4" handle drop; 5" strap drop
