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 Nano Alma? A: Despite its compact size, it comfortably holds a standard smartphone, a compact cardholder or small wallet, keys, and a few small essentials like lipstick or earbuds. Larger phones in the “Max/Plus/Ultra” category may be a tight fit at the zip opening, especially with a case. Please compare your device to the bag’s measurements on this page (approx. 17 × 12 × 8 cm).
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and how long is the strap on this piece? A: Yes—this piece includes a long shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 60 cm, offering shoulder or crossbody wear. As a guide, strap drops around 56–61 cm generally sit near the hip on many body heights; exact placement varies by height and build.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or removable on the Nano Alma? A: Strap details vary by edition. Newer Nano Alma versions can feature removable and adjustable straps, while earlier/vintage editions often have a fixed-length strap. This specific piece is listed with a long strap and approx. 60 cm drop; please review the photos and product information to see the exact strap style for this item.
Q: Will a long/continental wallet fit inside? A: No. The Nano Alma is best paired with a cardholder or compact wallet. A long wallet will exceed the internal length and will not pass easily through the zip opening.
Q: How durable is Epi leather for daily use? A: Epi leather is known for being structured and hard-wearing with a textured grain that resists light scratches and everyday wear. It copes well with light rain, but it’s best to wipe moisture off promptly and avoid prolonged exposure to water, heat, oils, and alcohol-based products.
Q: How should I care for the red Epi leather on this bag? A: Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid contact with cosmetics, perfumes, hand sanitisers, alcohol-based products, and dyed fabrics that may transfer colour. Store stuffed to maintain shape, inside a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: What is the condition of this specific piece? A: Very Good overall. The exterior shows minor scuff marks on the leather and light wear on the corners and strap attachments; the interior shows a light trace of use; the hardware is shiny with light scratches. Please refer to the photos for close-ups.
Q: Does this listing include a dust bag, box, or other items? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this listing, no additional items are included beyond the bag itself.
Q: Where would I find a date code on a vintage Alma, and do newer pieces have one? A: Many vintage Alma bags carry a small date code heat-stamped on a leather tab inside the interior pocket. From around 2021, Louis Vuitton began phasing in microchips on many models, so some recent pieces may not have a visible date code. For this exact item, please review the product photos or contact us for confirmation.
