Brighten weekend brunches, gallery visits, or smart daytime events with this vintage Louis Vuitton Alma Epi PM in yellow. Carried by its dual rolled handles, it lends a chic pop of colour to tailored looks and off-duty denim alike, a polished choice from desk to dinner.
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 Alma Epi PM? A: With its structured silhouette (approx. 32 × 25 × 16 cm), it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses and a small cosmetics pouch. A slim A5 notebook or small tablet may fit depending on the case; please refer to the Measurements on this page to compare with your items.
Q: Can this Alma PM be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: The classic Alma PM is primarily a handheld bag with dual rolled handles. Some later variations include D-rings for an optional strap, but this piece is intended to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm. The handle drop is approximately 10 cm.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything that comes with the bag is listed in the product information section on this page. If a padlock, keys, clochette, dust bag or shoulder strap are not listed there, they are not included.
Q: How durable is Epi leather and how should I care for it? A: Epi leather is deep-dyed, textured cowhide known for being hard-wearing and relatively water-resistant. Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth, avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged sunlight/heat, keep away from oil- or alcohol-based products (cosmetics, perfume, hand sanitiser), and store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape.
Q: What does the date code AR0976 mean? A: AR indicates production in France. For codes from 1990–2006, the 1st and 3rd digits show the month and the 2nd and 4th digits show the year, so 0-9-7-6 decodes to July 1996.
Q: Does the Alma PM have protective feet and a structured base? A: Yes, Alma bags are designed with a structured base and four protective studs so they stand upright and help protect the leather when set down.
Q: What is the interior like on this piece? A: This bag has a purple Alcantara lining with one internal slip pocket, providing a soft, durable interior that keeps small essentials organised.
Q: Is the Alma PM a good everyday bag? A: Yes. The PM size balances elegance and practicality, fitting daily essentials while keeping a tidy, structured profile suitable for day-to-evening wear.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is rigorously checked by our in-house experts using multi-point inspections of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes where present. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide more details on request.
