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 typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Monogram Alma PM Bag? A: The Alma PM is a structured everyday handbag that comfortably fits a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and other daily essentials. With this bag’s listed measurements of approximately 34 x 24 x 15 cm, it offers good day-to-day capacity, but it is not ideal for larger laptops or bulky folders.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: This Alma PM is primarily designed to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm. The handle drop is approximately 9 cm, so it is generally too short for comfortable shoulder wear with the fixed handles alone.
Q: Does this item come with a shoulder strap? A: No shoulder strap is listed for this specific item. According to the product information for this listing, it comes with padlock and keys only. Some Alma PM versions can be paired with a separately purchased strap, but no strap is included here.
Q: Is the Alma PM a good everyday bag? A: Yes. The Alma PM is widely regarded as one of Louis Vuitton’s classic everyday shapes thanks to its structured silhouette, zipped top and practical medium size. It works well for errands, lunch meetings and smart-casual day wear.
Q: What does the date code FL0023 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes are production codes rather than unique serial numbers. In the pre-2007 format, FL0023 corresponds to February 2003. The country of origin listed for this item is France.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This bag is listed in very good overall condition. The exterior shows a visible patina to the vachetta leather, with watermarks and scuffing on the base and trim; the interior has light traces of use; and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches and slight discolouration on the zip.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and vachetta leather? A: Clean the coated canvas gently with a soft damp cloth and a little mild soap if needed. Avoid perfume, oils, alcohol-based products and harsh cleaners. As this bag has natural vachetta trim, further darkening, water spots and honeying can develop over time, so it is best to keep it away from rain, rough surfaces and prolonged heat or direct sunlight when possible.
Q: Is the Alma PM suitable as a work bag? A: It can suit a lighter daily set-up, but most buyers do not use the Alma PM as a full work bag if they carry a laptop, charger pouch or A4 documents. Its structured dome shape is better for personal essentials and possibly a small tablet than for larger office items.
