Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Monogram Alma BB Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 23 × 18 × 11 cm, this bag is best suited to daily essentials. It should comfortably hold a smartphone, keys, a cardholder or compact wallet, lipstick, tissues and sunglasses. The structured shape helps keep items organised, but bulky pieces or a full-size wallet will reduce space quickly.
Q: Can this Alma BB be worn crossbody? A: Yes, the Alma BB is designed as a compact top-handle bag with a detachable shoulder strap, so it can be carried by hand or worn on the shoulder or crossbody depending on your height and preferred fit.
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: Can this Alma BB be worn crossbody? A: Yes, the Alma BB is designed as a compact top-handle bag with a detachable shoulder strap, so it can be carried by hand or worn on the shoulder or crossbody depending on your height and preferred fit.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: The product information for included items lists a detachable shoulder strap, clochette, padlock and keys.
Q: What materials and features does this bag have? A: This piece is crafted from Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas with tan leather trim, brass hardware and a brown canvas lining. It features dual top handles, one internal pocket and a two-way zip closure.
Q: What should I know about the condition of this specific item? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. The exterior shows visible watermarks on the Vachetta leather base, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What does the date code AA4193 mean? A: AA indicates production in France, and the four digits correspond to the 49th week of 2013. As with all Louis Vuitton date codes, it helps indicate when and where the bag was made, but it is not a unique serial number and should not be used as the only authentication point.
Q: Is the Alma BB practical for everyday use? A: It is a strong choice for everyday wear if you carry only essentials. Many buyers like the lightweight feel, classic structured shape and dressy look, but the narrow zip opening and firm silhouette make it less forgiving than softer bags when overpacked.
Q: How should I care for Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather? A: Avoid rain, damp conditions, direct heat, strong sunlight, perfume and hand sanitiser, and try not to rub the bag against rough surfaces. Store it in a breathable pouch when not in use and lightly stuff it to help maintain its shape. Vachetta leather naturally darkens over time, and the existing watermarks are part of this bag’s current condition.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: At A Retro Tale, pre-owned designer pieces are checked through a multi-point review of materials, construction, hardware, stamps and production details. The date code is one helpful indicator, but authenticity should always be assessed as part of the full bag rather than from that code alone.
