This vintage Louis Vuitton Alma PM in Monogram canvas with vachetta leather trim and brass hardware is presented in very good condition. Finished with dual rolled handles, a brown canvas lining and a two-way zip closure, it is an elegant choice for city days, lunch meetings or adding a polished touch to everyday wear.
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: With its structured shape and approx. 35 x 24 x 14 cm dimensions, this bag is well suited to daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and other compact items. The wide base and two-way zip opening make it easier to organise than many similarly sized top-handle bags. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the most accurate size guide for this specific item.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This vintage Alma PM is designed primarily to be carried by hand using its dual rolled leather handles. No detachable strap is included with this item, so it should be considered a handheld style.
Q: Is the Alma PM a good everyday size? A: Yes. The Alma PM is widely loved as a practical day bag because it offers a structured silhouette with enough room for everyday essentials while still feeling polished and compact. It works especially well if you prefer a classic top-handle shape rather than an oversized tote.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This piece is in Very Good condition overall. The exterior shows a visible patina to the vachetta leather, with watermarks and scuffing on the base and trim. The interior is also in Very Good condition with light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: Will the vachetta leather continue to darken over time? A: Yes. Natural vachetta leather typically develops a deeper honey patina with age, handling and exposure to light and moisture. This bag already shows an authentic vintage patina, along with watermarks and scuffing, which many collectors consider part of the character of older Louis Vuitton pieces.
Q: How should I care for this vintage Monogram canvas and vachetta leather? A: Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct heat, humidity and prolonged sunlight. Avoid contact with water, perfume, oils and alcohol-based products. If needed, gently wipe the canvas with a soft, dry or slightly damp light-coloured cloth, and be especially careful around the untreated vachetta trim, as it can mark and darken easily.
Q: What does the date code TH0948 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this period indicate the place and date of production rather than serving as a unique serial number. The code TH0948 corresponds to production in France in April 1998, which is consistent with a vintage Alma PM from the late 1990s.
Q: What product information is included with this bag? A: This item is listed as having no product information included. If you are looking for extras such as a lock, keys, dust bag or similar additions, they are not included unless specifically stated on the product page.
Q: How do I know this bag is authentic? A: At A Retro Tale, all items are reviewed by experts before being offered for sale. For vintage Louis Vuitton pieces, authentication typically considers the overall construction, canvas, stitching, hardware, stamps and date code together rather than relying on a single detail alone.
