Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Epi Alma BB Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 23 × 18 × 12 cm, this compact structured bag is best for daily essentials such as a phone, cardholder or small wallet, keys, lipstick, tissues and sunglasses. It is ideal for light day-to-day use or evenings out, but not for larger items like a tablet, water bottle or bulky pouch.
Q: Can this bag be carried by hand and worn crossbody? A: Yes. This piece has dual top handles with an approximate handle drop of 10 cm, and it also comes with a detachable shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 58 cm, so it can be carried by hand or worn over the shoulder or crossbody depending on your height and styling preference.
Q: Is Epi leather durable for regular use? A: Yes. Epi leather is known for its textured finish, structure and good day-to-day durability. It generally wears well and is a practical choice if you want a Louis Vuitton bag that feels elegant but slightly more understated and resilient than smoother leathers.
Q: Is the Alma BB easy to access? A: The Alma BB has a structured dome shape with a zip-top opening, so it feels secure in use. Because the base is wider than the top, access can feel a bit tighter than on softer bags, so it works best when packed with smaller essentials rather than bulky items.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: To help preserve Epi leather, wipe it gently with a soft, light-coloured cloth if needed and avoid abrasive surfaces, excess moisture, direct heat and prolonged sunlight. It is also best to keep it away from perfume, make-up, hand cream and sanitiser, and to store it in its dust bag when not in use.
Q: What does the code AA5717 indicate? A: The product information lists the code AA5717. On Louis Vuitton bags from this period, this is a date code rather than a unique serial number. It indicates production in France and corresponds to the 51st week of 2017.
Q: What is included with this item? A: According to the product information, this bag includes a box, dust bag, detachable shoulder strap, padlock, keys and clochette.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This item is listed in very good condition overall. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
