This Louis Vuitton Alma BB in burgundy Epi leather is a refined vintage piece in very good condition. Accented with silver-tone hardware and a red Alcantara lining, it is an elegant choice for city outings, lunch dates or evening dinners, bringing structured sophistication to both everyday and smarter looks.
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 Epi Alma BB? A: With measurements of approximately 24 x 18 x 11 cm, this bag is best suited to daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet, keys, lipstick, tissues, sunglasses and a few small extras. It is compact rather than oversized, so bulkier items like a tablet, water bottle or large purse may be a tight fit.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: Yes. This item includes a detachable shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 50 cm. Most people can wear the Alma BB on the shoulder or crossbody, although the exact fit will depend on your height and preferred styling.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: This piece is listed with a detachable shoulder strap and clochette. Everything included with the purchase is shown in the product information and photos for this exact item.
Q: Is Epi leather a practical everyday material? A: Yes. Epi leather is known for its structured feel and textured finish, which helps it resist visible scratches better than many smoother leathers. It is a strong choice if you want a polished bag that holds its shape well through regular use.
Q: How should I care for Epi leather? A: Wipe the surface gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, oils, perfume, make-up, excess moisture, direct heat and prolonged sun exposure. When not in use, store the bag in a dry place and lightly stuff it to help maintain its shape.
Q: Does the Alma BB have inside pockets or protective feet? A: Yes. This style features one internal slip pocket and four protective metal feet at the base, which help keep the bottom off surfaces.
Q: What does the code MI2133 mean? A: MI2133 is a Louis Vuitton date code indicating production in France in the 23rd week of 2013. Date codes help identify where and when a bag was made, but they are not a stand-alone guarantee of authenticity.
Q: Is the Alma BB better for daytime or evening use? A: Both. Its compact size and structured silhouette make it easy to style for daytime errands, lunches and travel, while the elegant top-handle shape also works well for dinners and smarter occasions.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This item is listed in very good condition overall. The corners show light rubbing, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
