Please refer to the listed strap measurement of 59 cm adjustable to judge how it will sit on you personally.
Q: Is Epi leather durable? A: Yes. Epi leather is known for its textured finish, structured feel and strong resistance to everyday wear compared with smoother leathers. It tends to hold its shape very well and is a practical option if you want a vintage Louis Vuitton bag that can handle regular use nicely.
Q: Is the Alma PM a structured or slouchy bag? A: The Alma PM is a structured bag. Its signature dome-shaped silhouette is designed to hold its form and give a refined, elegant look. If you prefer soft and relaxed bags, this style will feel more structured than a casual tote or hobo.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather? A: Wipe it gently with a soft, light-coloured cloth and avoid abrasive surfaces, excess moisture, direct heat and prolonged sunlight. When not in use, store it in a breathable dust bag and consider lightly stuffing it to help preserve its shape. Avoid harsh cleaners or solvents.
Q: What does the date code MI0946 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this era typically use two letters followed by four digits. MI indicates production in France, and 0946 typically corresponds to April 1996. Date codes are helpful for dating a piece, but they are not unique serial numbers and should not be used as the sole basis for authentication.
Q: What comes with this bag? A: According to the product information for this item, it includes a detachable shoulder strap and a padlock. If something is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: The exterior and interior are both rated very good with light traces of use. The hardware shows scratches and tarnishing, which is common for a vintage piece and has been reflected in the overall very good condition rating.
