Best LV to use as a carry on?

Sorry guys, I think i misphrased, I didn't mean dirty!!
Anyway, I've ordered it! If anyone has any modshots/photos of their eclipse keepall I'd love to see them, thanks so much :smile:

I mainly have it on the floor in front of my as a foot rest but I put it in the overhead bin during my last trip because I carried the Gucci tote that was next to it. I use it on a lot of my international flight. I think you will love it!

What combo do you love? What are you carrying?

I’m considering the Horizon 55 for carry on & a Keepall 45 for my personal item. What are your thoughts and/or experiences? Anyone have trouble carrying these two? I don’t wan’t to worry about having to gate check either of them. Any other options I should explore? Thanks in advance!

Colors – I like them all & can’t decide. Mix or match them?
*Horizon 55 - Mono Brown or Mono Eclipse?
*Keepall 45 – Mono Brown, Mono Eclipse, or Mono Macassar?

Horizon 55 Concerns:
*Size – Carry on size for airlines is 22 x 14 x 9
The LV website states size as 14.96 x 21.7 x 8.3 inches
(Length x Height x Width)
15.3 x 21.6 x 8.3 inches

1. Is the Horizon 55 too long to fit in overhead compartment?
2. Has anyone been forced to check this bag?
3. Does it get scratched when placing in overhead?

I have a Pegase 55 and keepall Epi 45. I don’t use them at the same time when I am traveling alone. The keepall is too big to be considered a personal item for me. I use the Pegase and a handbag. The Pegase 55 easily fits in the overhead compartment. I don’t think the horizon is that much larger.

I have the Keepall 45 & 55 in Mono Eclipse. The leather is more care free and the look is a little more "under the radar" than the classic Monogram. The 45 is a great personal item size - I don't think you can go wrong here.

The Horizon 55 might require gate checking at times. While it does fit, smaller planes or full flights where you're one of the last to board often require rolling carry on to gate check. I'm anal retentive and I just can't hand my LV over to the airlines. I have nice luggage - but not LV nice. But this is totally a personal decision. I'm interested to hear others experiences with the Horizon 55.

Plenty of excellent choices and combo here I see.
I have a Keepall Bando 55 in Mono and Keepall 45 in Macassar, both are definitely Carry on approved although the 55 does get heavy and wide when fully packed.
I've taken my 55 on smaller planes and although I didn't have to check it in, I was asked to leave it with the flight attendant to secure at the front of the plane so I assume the - Horizon 55 since it's boxy might happen to you too.
Which is why I usually take my 55 on car trips and 45 more on flights. In my experience my 45 will fit under the seat in front which i love so I can take anything I need out straight away whereas the 55 will need to go into the overhead bins during takeoff and landing.
Happy shopping!⚡
