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 PM Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 30.5 x 24.5 x 16.5 cm, this structured PM size is ideal for daily essentials. It will typically fit a phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and other compact day-to-day items. Its domed shape also helps maximise usable space, but please refer to the Measurements on this page for the most accurate idea of capacity.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: No. This particular Alma PM is designed to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm using its dual handles. No shoulder strap is listed for this item, and the handle drop is approximately 8.5 cm.
Q: Is Epi leather a good choice for everyday use? A: Yes. Epi leather is known for its durable, grained finish and structured feel, which is one reason it remains so popular for everyday bags. It generally handles regular wear better than many smoother leathers, though it should still be treated with care and kept away from rough surfaces, excessive moisture and heat.
Q: Is the Alma PM a practical everyday size? A: Yes. The Alma PM is widely loved as a medium, structured everyday bag because it offers more room than smaller Alma styles while still feeling polished and easy to carry. It works well for errands, lunches, commuting and smart day-to-evening use.
Q: Does this bag have internal organisation? A: Yes. According to the product information for this item, the bag has a tonal lining with one internal pocket, which is useful for keeping smaller essentials separate. The main compartment closes with a zip for added security.
Q: What does the date code AR0927 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this era indicate the place and date of production rather than acting as a unique serial number. Based on the AR prefix and four-digit format, AR0927 indicates production in France in February 1997.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather? A: For routine care, gently wipe the exterior with a soft, light-coloured cloth. Avoid soap, solvents and abrasive cleaners. When not in use, store the bag in a breathable dust bag, ideally lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, and keep it away from prolonged sunlight, humidity and direct heat.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: This item is rated Very Good Condition. The exterior shows light traces of use with some smaller marks and scratches, the interior is also in very good condition with light wear, and the hardware is slightly scratched and tarnished. This is consistent with a well-kept vintage piece.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing includes a padlock. Everything included with the bag is reflected in the product information for this specific item.
