Q: What are the measurements of this Louis Vuitton Alma BB?
A: This bag measures approximately 24 cm wide × 18 cm high × 12 cm deep. The handle drop is 9 cm and the strap drop is 57 cm; these are drop measurements, not the full lengths of the handles or strap.

Q: What fits inside the Alma BB?
A: The Alma BB is a compact bag for everyday essentials such as a smartphone, a cardholder or compact wallet, keys and lipstick. Sunglasses may also fit, depending on their size and case. Capacity depends on the combination of items you carry, so compare larger belongings with the listed measurements and avoid overpacking.

Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody?
A: Yes. This piece has dual rolled top handles and an included detachable strap for shoulder or crossbody wear. The strap drop is 57 cm. Where the bag sits will depend on your height and build; strap adjustability is not specified in the product information.

Q: Is the Monogram Alma BB made entirely from leather?
A: No. The main body is brown Monogram coated canvas with vachetta leather trim. It has brass hardware and a brown textile lining. Vachetta is natural leather that develops a darker patina over time and is sensitive to moisture and marks.

Q: How does the bag close, and does it have an inside pocket?
A: This bag has a two-way zip closure and one internal pocket within its brown textile-lined interior, helping you keep smaller belongings separate.

Q: What condition is this particular bag in?
A: This vintage, pre-owned bag is rated Very Good Condition. The exterior has minor watermarks and signs of wear on the vachetta leather. The interior is rated Very Good, with light traces of use and a vintage smell. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches.

Q: What comes with this bag?
A: The product information lists a box, dust bag, strap, padlock, key and clochette. The clochette is the small leather key holder.

Q: How should I care for and store this bag?
A: Protect it from water, damp conditions, direct sunlight, heat and abrasive surfaces. Avoid contact with oils, cosmetics, perfume and alcohol-based products. If the surface gets wet, gently blot it with a soft, lint-free, light-coloured absorbent cloth. Do not scrub the watermarks or use soap or solvents. Store the bag in its dust bag in a dry place away from heat and humidity.

Q: Has this bag been authenticated?
A: Yes. The supplied product information states that this bag's authenticity has been checked and verified by A Retro Tale's experts, who have over 10 years of experience in vintage and luxury bags.

A: The product information identifies this bag as made in France. No serial number or date code is supplied, so an exact manufacturing date cannot be stated.
