Perfect for city days and smart evenings, this Louis Vuitton Alma PM in Monogram canvas brings refined polish to any look. Compact yet roomy for daily essentials, it moves from desk to dinner with ease; carry by the top handles for a classic finish or wear on the shoulder for hands‑free style. A timeless vintage icon for brunches, meetings and weekend escapes.
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 typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Alma PM? A: The Alma PM is a spacious, structured handbag (dimensions approx. 35 x 25 x 17 cm) that easily holds daily essentials. You can typically fit a large continental wallet, a smartphone, keys, a cosmetic pouch, a sunglasses case, and a compact umbrella or small water bottle. While the base is wide, the dome shape tapers at the top, so bulky items may need to be arranged carefully.
Q: Will it fit a laptop or tablet? A: Standard tablets (e.g., an iPad or similar) generally fit comfortably. However, due to the structured, curved dome silhouette, it is difficult to zip the bag closed over a standard 13-inch laptop, even though the base width suggests it might fit. We recommend this bag for tablets and A5 notebooks rather than laptops.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: Yes, this specific listing includes a detachable shoulder strap. This allows you to wear the bag on your shoulder for hands-free convenience, or you can carry it by the dual rolled leather handles. Please refer to the photos to view the strap style and condition.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The bag features a secure double zip-around closure that spans the length of the bag. This specific item also includes the original padlock and keys, providing added security for your belongings and a classic vintage aesthetic.
Q: What is the condition of the Vachetta leather? A: As typical for vintage Louis Vuitton pieces, the Vachetta (untreated cowhide) leather on the base and handles has developed a honey-coloured patina. As noted in our condition report, there are visible watermarks and scuffing on the leather base, which adds to the item's vintage character. The hardware is shiny with light scratches, though the padlock and keys show some signs of discoloration.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and Vachetta base? A: The Monogram coated canvas is durable and water-resistant; it can be wiped gently with a damp cloth. The Vachetta leather base, however, is sensitive to water, oils, and rough surfaces. Given the existing patina, it is somewhat more resilient than new leather, but we advise avoiding direct contact with rain, hand creams, and damp surfaces to prevent further staining.
Q: Where is the date code located and what does it indicate? A: The date code is typically stamped inside the internal slip pocket. The code on this piece is SD0975, indicating it was manufactured in France in July 1995.
Q: What accessories are included? A: As listed in the product details, this bag comes with a padlock, keys, and a detachable shoulder strap. It does not list a dust bag, so please assume you will receive the bag and the specified accessories only.
