Perfect for polished days in the city, this vintage Louis Vuitton Alma PM in Damier Ebene is a refined handheld companion. Its structured silhouette and gold‑tone accents transition from desk to dinner, with a compact yet practical interior for essentials at meetings, brunches and evening plans.
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 are the dimensions of this Alma PM and how does it carry? A: It measures approximately 31 × 24 × 16 cm with a handle drop around 10 cm. The structured shape is designed to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm for a polished, classic look.
Q: Does this Damier Ebene Alma PM come with a shoulder strap? A: This is the classic handheld Alma PM in Damier Ebene canvas and is intended to be carried by its dual rolled handles. The Bandoulière versions or certain leather editions include strap attachments; this one does not. Please check the Accessories section on this page—this piece includes a padlock as listed.
Q: What typically fits inside the Alma PM? A: It comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and a compact umbrella or a small tablet/e‑reader (e.g., iPad mini). Because the bag is structured, using a slim organiser and avoiding overfilling helps maintain its shape.
Q: Will A4 documents or a 13‑inch laptop fit inside? A: No. Due to the height and curved zip opening, A4 paper (21 × 29.7 cm) and most 13‑inch laptops do not fit flat in the Alma PM. If you need to carry documents regularly, consider the Alma MM instead.
Q: How secure is the opening? A: The bag features a double zip‑around closure with two pullers that can be secured with the included padlock. The structured base with protective studs helps the bag stand upright and protects the corners.
Q: Is Damier Ebene canvas durable and suitable for rain? A: Yes, Louis Vuitton’s coated canvas is hard‑wearing and water‑resistant, and the dark brown leather trim on Damier Ebene is treated for added weather friendliness. It’s fine for light rain—simply wipe dry afterwards. Avoid soaking or prolonged exposure to water.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp, lint‑free cloth and dry immediately. Avoid alcohol‑based products (including hand sanitiser), harsh cleaners, and oils on the canvas, as these can damage the protective coating. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from heat and direct sunlight, to preserve its colour and shape.
Q: What does the date code FL3007 mean on this bag? A: FL indicates a French atelier, and 3007 means it was produced in week 30 of 2007. Note that from 2021 Louis Vuitton began using microchips instead of new date codes; for vintage pieces like this one, the code helps date the item but is only one element of a full authentication.
Q: Are keys included for the padlock, and what if they’re missing? A: Everything included is listed under Accessories; if keys are not listed, they are not included. If you would like keys, you can purchase a replacement lock‑and‑keys set from Louis Vuitton or source a matching numbered key on the resale market.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a multi‑point inspection by our in‑house experts—materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date codes are checked in combination. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can provide further details on request.
