Louis VuittonEpi Electric Alma PM Bag

Q: What is Epi Electric leather?
A: Epi Electric is Louis Vuitton's textured Epi leather with a glossy finish, giving the Alma a more polished look while keeping the structured feel the model is known for.

Q: What typically fits inside the Alma PM?
A: The PM is generally considered an everyday size. It will usually hold a phone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, small cosmetics and other daily essentials, and it can often accommodate a small tablet. It is not a laptop-sized bag, so please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.

Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder?
A: This Louis Vuitton Epi Electric Alma PM Bag is primarily designed to be carried by its dual rolled handles. No shoulder strap is included with this listing, so it is best suited to handheld or crook-of-arm wear.

Q: Is the Alma PM suitable for everyday use?
A: Yes. The Alma PM is one of Louis Vuitton's classic everyday silhouettes, and Epi leather is widely appreciated for being structured and resilient. Its size works well for daily essentials while still looking polished enough for evening use.

Q: How should I care for Epi Electric leather?
A: Wipe it gently with a soft, light-coloured cloth and avoid abrasive surfaces, excess moisture, direct heat and prolonged sun exposure. Because of the glossy finish, it is also best to avoid contact with hand cream, perfume, make-up and dark fabrics that may transfer colour. Store it in its dust bag when not in use.

Q: Does this item come with a lock, keys or other extras?
A: This listing includes a dust bag. If any additional items are not mentioned under product information, they should not be assumed to be included.
