Yeah, got my Alma yesterday and I must say I love it. I bought it second hand so I didn´t overspend. Even my boyfriend loved it, although I have promised him in past not to buy a LV, (he think’s all of them monogram looks like toilettery bags LOL) And, when I got my hands on a real one the leather is not at all that “plastic” as the fake ones. I think the design is very chic and classic. The black one is not over the top designer bling bling and I love that!
And thank you for the information about Coco and the Alma, now I will enjoy it even more! I think Coco Chanel is the fashion lady abow all fashion ladies!

A little off topic, but to dispel some common myths about the Alma:

Alma was inspired by the Ponte de l’Alma. It is a bridge in Paris. In the early 1900s it was an affluent area of society. Most Louis Vuitton creations are named after streets and bridges in Paris.

The Alma was not designed by Coco Chanel, nor was it made for her. There is no evidence to support this myth. However, it has been documented that the Alma was the one and only bag Coco Chanel carried which was not of her creation. Although it is not certain why the Alma appealed to her so much, it is generally understood that Coco Chanel and Louis Vuitton were good acquaintances.

And lastly, Epi leather is not plastic. It is a textured leather that is used for its incredible durability. The Epi line was launched in 1985 and designed as an alternative to hard-sided trunks and lightweight canvas travel pieces. It is known that Epi leather travels well because of it’s ability to withstand heavy use without losing it’s aesthetic integrity.

I hope this clarifies any misconceptions, and also helps to reassure those of you who may be questioning (or have mixed feelings) about this product.

If any of you own or have inherited the Alma, or an Epi piece, be proud of the work of art and innovative craftsmanship you hold and share it with the world.

I have a question about louis vuitton’s serial number. I am looking at Alma epi bag online and found two sellers. Two bags have the same serial number AR0927. Are serial numbers the same for the same models or each bag has a unique serial number? Help please. Thank you.

This is an okay bag, but the texture is what really stands out more so. (ipad)

Saw one of these but I thought it was fake. The inside serial number was M51130. I searched the number and nothing came up online. There was no LV label on the inside even though the inside was suede.

There was a small cellphone-ish pocket but… I don’t know the outside bottom trim was coming off and it looked plastic so I walked away. Can anyone be a LV detective on this? Did I miss a LV? Talk to me grrls.
