Louis Vuitton Virgil Abloh Keepall Yellow Cowhide

The Louis Vuitton Keepall in yellow cowhide is a Virgil Abloh piece, and it takes the house's most familiar travel bag somewhere it rarely goes. The Keepall is normally a study in restraint, brown Monogram canvas, natural leather trim, a shape unchanged since the 1930s. Here it is rendered in a bright, saturated yellow leather instead, which turns a heritage silhouette into something closer to an object.

That was Abloh's method throughout his time at Louis Vuitton: keep the archive shape exactly as it is, change one fundamental thing about it, and let the contrast do the work. Underneath, it is still a Keepall. It is soft-sided, so it packs down when empty rather than holding a rigid shape, with rolled leather top handles, a wide top zip, and enough room for a weekend.

This one is new. At Konesseur, every Louis Vuitton is authenticated before listing, and bold-colour leather Keepalls were made in far smaller numbers than the canvas versions, which is what makes them harder to find now. Browse more Louis Vuitton or the full Keepall range to compare.
