Perfect for weekday commutes and polished weekend plans, this vintage Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Alma PM lends structured elegance to office ensembles, lunch dates and city evenings. Its iconic silhouette and rich brown checks elevate smart-casual looks, while the compact PM size keeps essentials organised 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 PM? A: As a structured day bag (approx. 31 × 24 × 17 cm), it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and other daily essentials. A compact tablet (around 9–10 inches) can fit, though the curved top limits very tall items. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Does the Alma PM come with a shoulder strap? A: The classic Alma PM is designed to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm via its rolled handles (approx. 9 cm drop). However, Louis Vuitton offers separate straps that can attach to the bag’s metal handle mounts if you prefer shoulder or cross-body wear. Strap length and personal height will determine whether cross-body carry is comfortable for you.
Q: Will A4 documents or a 13-inch laptop fit? A: No. Due to its size and curved zip top, the Alma PM doesn’t accommodate A4 folders or most 13-inch laptops. If you need to carry documents or a laptop, consider larger Alma sizes (MM/GM) or a tote-style bag.
Q: What is this bag made of? A: Damier Ebene coated canvas with brown treated leather trim and gold-tone hardware. It features a two-way zip, protective metal feet and a red textile-lined interior with slip pockets—an elegant, structured design made for daily use.
Q: Is Damier Ebene suitable for rain? A: The coated canvas is water-resistant and the dark Ebene leather trim is treated, so it is more forgiving in light rain than untreated vachetta. However, the bag isn’t waterproof—wipe moisture off promptly and allow it to air-dry away from heat sources.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather? A: Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soapy water if needed, then dry with a clean cloth. Avoid solvents, alcohol, oils and harsh cleaners on both canvas and leather. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help it retain its shape, away from direct sunlight and high heat.
Q: Does this item include a padlock, keys or dust bag? A: All inclusions are listed under Accessories for each listing. For this piece, the included accessory is the receipt. Items such as a padlock, keys, clochette, dust bag or strap are not included unless specifically stated.
Q: What does the date code FL0034 mean on this bag? A: Louis Vuitton used a month–year date code format from the 1990s to 2006. In this format, the first and third digits indicate the month and the second and fourth digits indicate the year. FL is a French factory code. Therefore, FL0034 indicates French manufacture in March 2004.
Q: Is the Alma PM rigid or slouchy? A: It is a structured style with a reinforced base and protective feet, so it stands upright and holds its shape well. To maintain structure, avoid overloading and store the bag with light stuffing when not in use.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes multi-point checks by our in-house experts—materials, stitching, hardware, heat stamps and date codes—supported by specialist tools and, when appropriate, third-party verification. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
