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 this bag? A: With approximate measurements of 39 × 14.5 × 14 cm, this bag is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and other compact items. Its elongated east-west shape works best for slim essentials rather than bulky belongings, and it is not intended for a laptop or A4 paperwork.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: This Alma Long is designed as a handheld style with dual rolled handles and an approximate 11 cm handle drop. It is best carried by hand or in the crook of the arm. No shoulder strap is listed in the product information.
Q: What is Louis Vuitton Mini Lin? A: Mini Lin is a lightweight woven Louis Vuitton textile with the monogram pattern. Compared with classic coated canvas, it generally feels softer and lighter while still offering a structured look when paired with the Alma silhouette.
Q: Is the Alma Long a rare or discontinued style? A: Yes. The Alma Long, sometimes also referred to as the Alma Horizontal, is a vintage variation that is no longer part of Louis Vuitton’s regular current line-up. It is less commonly seen than the better-known Alma BB, PM or MM sizes, which adds to its vintage appeal.
Q: Is Mini Lin durable enough for everyday use? A: It can work well for light everyday use, but Mini Lin is a textile material, so it may show rubbing, corner wear or colour transfer sooner than coated canvas. This example is already noted as being in good vintage condition, with scuffing on the leather trim and marks inside, so gentle use and careful storage are recommended.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: Avoid overfilling it, keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight and heat, and store it in a breathable fabric bag when not in use. For light surface dirt, use a soft damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol-based products and dry cleaning. Because Mini Lin is woven, it is also best kept away from dark denim and rough surfaces that may cause abrasion or colour transfer.
Q: What is the closure and interior layout like? A: This bag has a zip closure, a white fabric lining and one internal pocket. It also features protective metal feet at the base, which help reduce wear when the bag is placed down.
Q: What condition should I expect from this item? A: This vintage piece is listed in good condition overall. The exterior shows scuffing on the leather trim, the inside has stains and a pen mark, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches and some discolouration. Please review the photos and measurements carefully for the best sense of its individual vintage character.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information for this piece states that there are no additional items included. If you would like confirmation before purchasing, please feel free to contact us.
Q: How is authenticity handled for a vintage Louis Vuitton bag like this? A: Authenticity should never be judged by one detail alone. Experts usually assess the overall construction, materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and any date-code details that may still be present. At A Retro Tale, every item is professionally authenticated before sale.
