The grandson of the founder of the French luxury brand Gaston-Louis Vuitton is considered to be the designer who crafted Alma. The inspiration for the trapezoid design was found in the Steamer bag – the favorite accessory of travelers – and Art Deco. In 1934, the Louis Vuitton Alma was born. Inspired by the art deco movement, the Alma is very structured, more so than any other LV, making it a durable city bag. It comes in multiple styles and sizes including the newest addition, the Alma BB, which is a mini version of this iconic bag. Because of its distinct silhouette, both Jackie O and Audrey Hepburn sported the bag, making it the go-to for women with timeless and sophisticated style throughout the ages.
The epi leather is so durable. You can wear it multiple ways in the BB size. LV is guilty of recycling names (ahem… The Coussin). The Louis Vuitton Alma bag was inspired by the art deco movement.

A completely pragmatic interior, adds five stars to this Louis Vuitton Alma Bag. The top zipper opens to reveal a soft microfiber lining with a main storage compartment and an additional patch pocket. The double zip feature helps the bag to open wider, blessing you with a spacious space to store all your necessities for the day. Your small wallet, cash, cards, money and everything is safe here. As 2021 is crawling to its end, the minds of fashion lovers are already looking at the next season trends. On fake bags, the embossing is usually way too deep.
You probably know that the luxury brand has a tendency to increase the prices for its goods, and the bag in 2021 will have a completely different price tag than the very same model just one year ago. It would be a crime to see such a beautiful and sought-after silhouette as the Louis Vuitton Alma bag produced only in one color or material. The French brand knows that fashionistas love this model, that is why the range of leather and non-leather options is enormous. Signs of wear, light soiling or discoloration of materials may be present.
By the way, in this video, we also show how this model looks in different materials and colors. Back then, however, it wasn’t called the Alma. In fact, the details of the earliest Alma encompass a grey area between actual evidence and speculation. Mademoiselle Chanel’s rumored presence in the picture certainly doesn’t make things any clearer (I’ve searched high and low for a picture of the lady with the bag, but with no luck, although this forum might be helpful). What is certain is that Chanel’s version didn’t go into official production until 1934, and that was called the Squire Bag.
For more than a century, the French Fashion House is continuing to balance style and practicality in their designs. In 2010, Louis Vuitton launched theAlma BB, a miniature size which measures 23.5 cm wide and 17.5 cm high. For the first time ever, the Alma was sold together with a removable leather strap that, which means ladies now had a bag with even more utility and versatility. Now, just like how the Speedy came in an elusive Nano size, you might also come across the Nano Alma in Épi leather, measuring just 18 cm by 12 cm, though that’s super rare but sometimes in does pop up online. Or the one in Monogram Canvas that’s just super cute. Good when you need a certificate and you need to know why the bag is authentic/not authentic for any reason, either to sell the bag with the peace of mind or return a fake bag to the seller if you purchased a fake.
The showroom is open from Monday to Saturday from 11am to 7pm. Dior bags know what it feels like to be carried by the hottest actresses and the members of royal families. They should be of premium quality. The zipper can be a dead giveaway if it’s not straight and curls a little. Check the overall quality – the pattern on canvas, the stitching.
