Delivery & Returns
Q: What size is this Louis Vuitton Alma PM bag? A: This Alma PM measures approximately 35 x 24 x 15 cm, with an 8 cm handle drop. It is a structured medium-sized handbag with the classic domed Alma silhouette, making it a practical choice for daily use while still feeling polished and compact.
Q: What typically fits inside the Alma PM? A: It will generally fit everyday essentials such as a full-size wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch and other small daily items. The zip-top opening is generous, but because the bag is structured, bulky items and most laptops are not ideal.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: No. This specific item does not include a shoulder strap and is best considered a handheld style. If you plan to add a separate strap, it is worth checking the attachment method carefully, as vintage Alma PM versions can vary.
Q: What is the interior layout like? A: The bag has a brown canvas lining with one internal pocket, which is useful for keeping smaller essentials separate from the main compartment.
Q: What does the date code VI 1906 mean? A: Louis Vuitton used date codes rather than unique serial numbers. In this case, VI indicates production in France, and 1906 corresponds to October 1996. A date code is useful product information, but it is only one part of an overall authenticity assessment.
Q: What does patina mean on this bag? A: Patina is the natural darkening and ageing that develops on Louis Vuitton's untreated Vachetta leather over time. On this piece, the leather shows visible patina together with watermarks and scuffing on the base and trim, which is typical vintage wear.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. The exterior shows visible vintage character on the Vachetta leather, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: How should I care for vintage Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather? A: Keep the bag away from rain, humidity, direct heat, prolonged sunlight, perfume and oily products. Wipe the canvas gently with a soft, light-coloured cloth, and avoid soap or solvents. As this is a vintage piece, the leather may continue to darken and develop further marks with use.
Q: What is included with this item? A: No additional items are included with this piece. For a full overview of what comes with the bag, please see the product information on this page.
Q: How do you authenticate pre-owned Louis Vuitton pieces? A: At A Retro Tale, each item is inspected using multiple checkpoints such as materials, construction, stamps, hardware and date code details, so you can shop pre-owned with confidence.
