Q: What typically fits inside the Alma Epi PM?
A: With approximate dimensions of 30 × 23 × 15 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses and a small cosmetics pouch. A 9-inch tablet or iPad mini fits; slim 10-inch tablets may fit depending on the case and how you pack. Always refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.

Q: Does this model come with a strap, and can I wear it crossbody?
A: The classic Alma PM is designed for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry. Many PM models have metal handle mounts that accept a detachable strap sold separately. This specific item is listed without a strap; please check the product information and contact us if you would like advice on compatible straps and drop length for shoulder or crossbody wear.

Q: How durable is Epi leather, and is it water resistant?
A: Epi is a deep‑dyed, textured cowhide developed by Louis Vuitton. It is structured, hard‑wearing and has a degree of water resistance, making it ideal for frequent use. It is not fully waterproof, so wipe dry after exposure and avoid heavy rain where possible.

Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather and the alcantara lining?
A: Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, slightly damp, light‑coloured cloth and avoid soaps, solvents, oils, hand sanitiser, perfume and prolonged sunlight/heat. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag away from humidity and potential colour transfer. For the alcantara lining, shake out debris and use a lint roller or soft brush; avoid wet cleaning.

Q: Does the Alma PM have protective feet and how does the closure work?
A: Yes. The Alma PM has four metal studs on the base to help protect the leather. It features a double zip closure that can be secured with the padlock; the keys are kept in the clochette.

Q: What is the handle drop on this piece and how is it carried?
A: The handle drop on this specific item is approximately 9 cm, making it ideal for handheld or crook‑of‑arm carry. If you prefer hands‑free wear, a compatible strap can be attached where applicable (sold separately).

Q: Where is the date code, and what if there isn’t one?
A: On vintage Epi Almas the date code is typically stamped on a small leather tab or directly on the alcantara lining along an interior seam. Louis Vuitton transitioned from visible date codes to embedded microchips in March 2021, so newer pieces may not have a stamped code. Remember that a date code is not a unique serial number and is only one of many authenticity indicators.

Q: What items are included with this bag?
A: As listed in the product information, this piece comes with a padlock, keys and a clochette. If an item is not shown in the product information, it is not included.

Q: Is Epi leather prone to colour transfer or fading?
A: Epi is resilient, but like all leathers it can pick up dye from dark textiles and may fade with prolonged UV exposure. Avoid rubbing against colour‑transferring fabrics and store away from direct sunlight to preserve the colour.

Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item?
A: Every piece is vetted by our in‑house specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware, date codes or microchip‑era cues. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share further product information on request.
