A polished choice for evening events, date nights and chic city outings, the Louis Vuitton Alma BB in glossy black Epi Electric leather elevates both cocktail dresses and tailored looks. Compact yet refined, it brings sophisticated LV flair to weddings, gallery openings and smart dinners.
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 fits inside the Louis Vuitton Alma BB? A: Despite its compact dimensions (approximately 24 x 18 x 11 cm), the Alma BB is surprisingly spacious. It typically holds a large smartphone (such as an iPhone Pro Max), a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, and sunglasses in a soft case. While a small bottle of water might fit if positioned carefully, bulky long wallets can be a tight squeeze; we recommend using smaller leather goods to maximise space.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: This specific Epi Electric model typically comes with a non-adjustable, detachable shoulder strap. With a strap drop of approximately 50 cm (as noted in the Measurements), it is designed for shoulder carry or high crossbody wear, depending on your height. If you prefer a different length, the strap can be removed, and the bag can be carried by its dual top handles for a classic evening look.
Q: What is Epi Electric leather? A: Epi Electric is a distinctive variation of Louis Vuitton’s classic Epi leather. It features the same signature textured ripple pattern but with a high-shine, glossy patent finish. This durable coating gives the bag a glamorous, structured look that transitions beautifully from day to night, offering excellent resistance to water and daily wear.
Q: How do I care for Epi Electric leather? A: To maintain its high-gloss finish, wipe the bag gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints or dust. Avoid using abrasive sponges or heavy creams, as the coated surface does not absorb conditioners like untreated leather. As with all patent-style finishes, store it in its dust bag away from contact with other leathers or dark fabrics (such as denim) to prevent colour transfer.
Q: How secure is this bag? A: The Alma BB is very secure for city use. It features a double-zip closure that runs around the sides, allowing wide access when needed. For added security, the zipper pulls can be locked together using the included padlock and keys.
Q: Does this bag stand up on its own? A: Yes, the Alma BB has a structured base reinforced with four metal bottom studs. This allows the bag to sit upright when placed on flat surfaces, protecting the bottom leather from direct contact with tables or floors.
Q: What accessories are included with this specific item? A: This piece includes the detachable shoulder strap, clochette, keys, and padlock. Any other items (such as a dust bag or box) are only included if explicitly listed under the “Accessories” section. If you are unsure, please feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How do you authenticate this Louis Vuitton bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and production codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
