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 approximate measurements of 32 × 25 × 16 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and a small notebook. It can also accommodate a compact tablet around 9 inches. It will not fit A4 documents or a laptop. ([rebag.com](https://www.rebag.com/thevault/the-size-guide-louis-vuitton-alma/))
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap or allow one to be added? A: This listing does not include a shoulder strap. The Alma PM is primarily designed to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm. On many modern Alma PM models, an optional strap can be attached to the metal handle mounts; for this vintage piece, please refer to the photos to assess compatibility if you plan to add your own strap.

Q: How durable is Louis Vuitton’s Epi leather? A: Epi leather is deep‑dyed, textured cowhide known for its structure and excellent resistance to daily wear. Its finish is comparatively water‑resistant and scratch‑tolerant versus many smooth leathers, making it ideal for regular use. ([us.louisvuitton.com](https://us.louisvuitton.com/eng-us/products/alma-pm-epi-000513/M40302))
Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, light‑coloured cloth; avoid soap, solvents, oils and alcohol‑based products. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and store in a breathable dust bag when not in use. If the leather gets lightly soiled, a careful wipe is usually sufficient.

Q: What does the code AR1926 indicate? A: In Louis Vuitton date codes from 1990–2006, the first and third digits denote the month and the second and fourth denote the year. “AR” is a French factory code, so AR1926 decodes to France, December 1996. Note that date codes are not serial numbers and, from 2021 onwards, Louis Vuitton began phasing in microchips instead of visible codes.

Q: What is the Kenyan Fawn colour? A: Kenyan Fawn is an archival Epi leather tone from the 1990s, often described as a warm orange‑brown. You’ll see it across several vintage Epi pieces, including Alma and Speedy models from that era. ([fashionphile.com](https://www.fashionphile.com/p/louis-vuitton-epi-alma-pm-kenyan-fawn-660765))
Q: Does the Alma PM have base studs and a padlock? A: The Alma PM design typically features a double‑zip closure and four protective metal studs on the base; some models are paired with a padlock. Please check the product information on this page to see exactly what is included with this listing. ([us.louisvuitton.com](https://us.louisvuitton.com/eng-us/products/alma-pm-epi-000513/M40302))
Q: How is this size best carried and what is the handle drop? A: The Alma PM is intended for hand or elbow carry. The handle drop on this specific piece is approximately 9 cm, as listed in the product information. ([us.louisvuitton.com](https://us.louisvuitton.com/eng-us/products/alma-pm-epi-000513/M40302))
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section. If an item (such as a dust bag, padlock or key bell) is not stated there, it is not included with this listing.
