Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What size is the Louis Vuitton Epi Alma PM, and what typically fits inside? A: With approximate measurements of 30 x 24 x 15 cm, the Alma PM is a practical day bag. It will typically fit daily essentials such as a wallet, mobile phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and a compact tablet or e-reader. Its structured shape also helps keep contents neatly organised.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: This specific bag has dual rolled top handles with an approximate handle drop of 10 cm, and no shoulder strap is listed in the product information. It is therefore best carried by hand or on the elbow.
Q: Why is Epi leather such a popular choice? A: Epi leather is known for its distinctive textured finish, structured feel, and understated look. It is often chosen for regular use because it tends to hold its shape well and is generally more resistant to everyday rubbing and light marks than smoother leathers.
Q: Does the Alma PM close securely? A: Yes. This bag features a zip-around closure, which helps keep your belongings secure. It also has one internal slip pocket for smaller essentials you want to keep easy to reach.
Q: What does the date code AR1926 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this era use two letters followed by four digits. AR indicates production in France, and the four digits correspond to the month and year of manufacture. In this case, AR1926 points to December 1996. Date codes help indicate age and place of manufacture, but they are not unique serial numbers.
Q: What is included with this item? A: According to the product information for this piece, the bag includes a padlock and keys. If an item is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This item is listed in Very Good Condition. The exterior shows some rubbing on the glazing of the handles, the interior shows light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather? A: Wipe the bag gently with a soft, light-coloured cloth and avoid harsh cleaners or solvents. Keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight, heat, and damp environments, and store it in a breathable dust bag with light stuffing inside to help maintain its shape.
