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 fits inside the Louis Vuitton Mini Lin Alma Long? A: With approximate measurements of 37 × 16 × 13 cm, this elongated handbag is best for daily essentials such as a phone, a long wallet, keys, sunglasses and slim cosmetics. Its longer shape is practical for wider or longer items, but the 16 cm height means it is not suited to bulky items or most tablets and laptops.
Q: Is this bag carried by hand or on the shoulder? A: This piece has dual top handles with an approximate handle drop of 11 cm. No shoulder strap is included in the product information, so it is intended primarily to be carried by hand.
Q: Does this bag have a secure closure and any internal storage? A: Yes. It features a zip closure, a tonal textile lining and one internal pocket, which is useful for organising smaller essentials.
Q: What is Mini Lin canvas? A: Mini Lin is Louis Vuitton’s lightweight textile-style monogram canvas blend, known for a softer and lighter feel than many coated canvases. On this piece it is paired with brown leather trim and brass hardware for a refined vintage look.
Q: How should I care for Mini Lin canvas? A: Because Mini Lin has a fabric-like finish, it is best protected from heavy rain, colour transfer and rough surfaces. For light cleaning, gently wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners or rubbing the leather trim.
Q: Is the Alma shape structured? A: Yes. The Alma family is known for its structured silhouette, and the Alma Long keeps that polished look in a more elongated format. It usually looks best when not overfilled.
Q: What does the date code VI0111 mean? A: The date code indicates production in France during the 1st week of 2011. As with all Louis Vuitton date codes, it helps identify production details but should not be used as the only test of authenticity.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: According to the product information, no additional items are included with this piece.
Q: What is the condition of this specific item? A: This bag is listed in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows visible scuffing on the leather base and trim, with minor marks on the canvas; the interior shows light traces of use; and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
