Q: What are the dimensions of this Alma PM and how does it carry?
A: This Alma PM measures approximately 32 × 25 × 15 cm with a handle drop of about 9 cm. It is a structured, dome‑shaped top‑handle bag designed primarily for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry, with a dual zip closure and protective base feet.

Q: What typically fits inside the Alma PM?
A: It comfortably holds everyday essentials such as a large smartphone, a long wallet, keys, sunglasses in a case, a small cosmetics pouch, and a compact notebook. A small tablet fits; however, due to the curved top and structured shape, A4 documents and 13‑inch laptops do not fit comfortably.

Q: Does this specific bag include a shoulder strap?
A: Yes. This piece includes a detachable shoulder strap as listed in the product information. Note that the Alma PM was originally conceived as a handheld style, so strap availability varies by piece and collection; some owners also purchase a compatible strap separately. Depending on strap length and your frame, it may sit high if worn crossbody.

Q: What is Epi leather and why is it considered durable?
A: Epi is Louis Vuitton’s deep‑dyed, textured leather known for its robustness and resistance to light scratches and light moisture. The grain helps disguise minor scuffs and the structured construction helps the bag hold its shape in daily use.

Q: How should I care for yellow Epi leather and the Alcantara interior?
A: Wipe the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately; avoid solvents, oils, alcohol‑based products, and prolonged exposure to sunlight or heat which can cause colour fading. Keep light leathers away from colour‑transferring fabrics (e.g., dark denim). For the Alcantara lining, gently brush away lint and avoid liquid cleaners; if needed, spot‑clean lightly and allow to air‑dry. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain its shape.

Q: Does the Alma PM stand on its own?
A: Yes. The Alma PM is known for its structured base and typically features protective metal feet so it stands upright and helps protect the bottom when set down.

Q: How does the Alma PM compare to other Alma sizes?
A: In the Alma family, BB is the mini size with an emphasis on crossbody wear; PM (this bag) is the classic medium daily size for essentials; MM is larger and better if you need more capacity (e.g., a tablet and extras). The largest, GM, is discontinued but was the roomiest.

Q: What does the date code AR0997 mean on this bag?
A: AR indicates production in France. For codes used in the 1990s, the first and third digits show the month and the second and fourth digits show the year. 0‑9‑9‑7 decodes to 09/1997, meaning September 1997. Please note that a date code is not a unique serial number nor proof of authenticity; it is one of many indicators we assess.

Q: Is Epi leather water‑resistant and can I use the bag in light rain?
A: Epi leather is more water‑resistant than many smooth leathers, but it is not waterproof. Light rain is generally fine if you wipe the bag dry promptly. Avoid soaking, and keep hardware dry to minimise tarnish over time.

Q: What product information is included with this item?
A: Please refer to the product information section on this page for exactly what is included with this piece. If a dust bag, padlock, keys, or other items are not listed there, they are not included; feel free to contact us for clarification.
