Hi Missie,

The Keepall 45 is the perfect size for packing for a weekend, tops, or as a carry-on. It fits fine in an overhead compartment.

The LV website says that the next size up, the 50, is cabin size. But, personally, I think it's that borderline size where if you're competing with other passengers for overhead space, it will be a tight fit.

I suggest you go to a store and try the 45 and 50 on. My SA said that most women prefer the 45. Some women prefer the 50 because they like to pack more and have the option of more space if they need it.

It depends on how you pack. 50 is the biggest I would go because I'm petite and 5'4". BTW, I have the bandouliere version because I need the shoulder strap.

Thanks Tenkrat,

Great info ....I tend to overpack everywhere so I might need the 50. The funny thing is that i only pack my jewelry, shoes,bags and two pair of undies in my carry-on. No way will I ever be parted from them on a trip lol. My DH gets so annoyed as I won't allow anything else to go into my carry on as I don't want my shoes getting smashed. I will definitely need shoulder strap. I guess I will go to store one day this week

I think you could fabulously pull off the monogram one with the black trim.

Bake,

Yes I'm definitely liking the black trim as it will coordinate well with any black luggage case. I'm also liking the Etole 65 because it rolls. I just don't think I can carry on so that would be deal breaker

I don't think the Etole carry on size. It's also heavy with the wheels.

DBF carries his keep all 45 as his main cabin item for international, and a personal item for domestic. At premium economy and above, no one cares about the size, lol. So it will easily go with you no matter what airline and class.

With your amazing collection I wouldn't let that out of my sight either.

I'm still thinking if I want a 45, or to get a speedy 40 just to keep it manageable. I know I'll overpack it, and my shoulder won't be able to handle that.

Bake,

Ok good to know...I definitely need to see the 45. What do you think about the Carryall. I like the look of it but wonder if lack of strap is going to make it too heavy.

I would rather lose my clothes in airplane than my shoes lol. I figure I can always buy clothes when I get to destination if luggage lost.

The speedy 40 is kinda small for traveling

I'm actually considering the carryall!

I was at the boutique and they put the monogram strap with the pink leather, and it looked super cute. The strap though is shoulder only, so I'd definitely ask them to pack up one to gauge the comfort. It looks better to plop on top of a rolling suitcase.

Seeing it with a shoulder strap made it more of a contender. The Keepall just looks so bulky on me.

The speedy 40 wouldn't carry as much, but I'm trying to keep my bag without wheels relatively light.

I might go to try them out again next week. I've been so indecisive with travel pieces, I've been trying one every time I visit. I'll take pics if I go.

I'm such a noob. I posted these pics in the wrong thread. :amazed::confused1::annoyed:

Here are old photos of my red and burgundy bags.

How do you like the Ferragamo? I saw a blue and red striped one and found it cute.

Hi All! I'm traveling this weekend but wanted to pop in and celebrate. Today marks 60 days of no handbag purchases for me. :biggrin:

I'm not on a ban but I am trying to calm the crazy. LOL! And with my 2 bag maximum allotment for the rest of the year, I need to be thoughtful and planful. :amuse:

Also, reminder: we change colors tomorrow. I'm looking forward to seeing the orange and yellow bag showcase!!!

I love the never wear concept.
I'm late to the scarf party. I have worn this maybe twice in the seven years I've had it, my only designer scarf :

Thanks for making me think of it. I found it crumpled in the back of a closet needing love.

How do I wear this???

I've finished packing for a trip and I'm wondering...


Why do I carry so much stuff on a day to day basis? A purse of stuff.

Then when I travel, I pare down to a wallet on chain.

Shouldn't it be the other way around? Or am I doing it wrong again?

When (and if) you find the answer, please, for goodness sake, do let me know!!!
