Q: What are the dimensions and how does the Alma BB wear? A: This Alma BB measures approximately 23.5 × 17.5 × 11.5 cm, with a handle drop of about 10 cm and a detachable shoulder strap of around 62 cm. It can be carried by hand, on the crook of the arm, on the shoulder or cross‑body, thanks to its structured shape and dual top handles.
Q: What typically fits inside an Alma BB? A: Everyday essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lip balm, and small cosmetics fit comfortably. Because the top opening is narrower than the base, longer items need angling; a full‑size long wallet may fit diagonally but will take up most of the space.
Q: Will a large smartphone (e.g., Pro Max size) fit? A: Yes, most large smartphones fit upright inside the Alma BB. It can be snug near the zip opening, so a slim or no case makes access easier.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable on this bag? A: Strap styles vary by production season. Earlier Monogram Alma BB bags typically have a non‑adjustable Vachetta strap, while some recent releases include an adjustable version. This specific piece comes with a detachable shoulder strap as listed in Accessories; please refer to the measurements above to gauge where it will sit on you.
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.

This specific piece comes with a detachable shoulder strap as listed in Accessories; please refer to the measurements above to gauge where it will sit on you.
Q: Does the Alma BB have feet, and does it stand up on its own? A: Yes. Alma models, including the BB, feature four protective metal feet and a structured base, so the bag stands upright when set down.
Q: How do I use the padlock and keys? A: To secure the bag, align the two zipper pulls through the metal loop at the end of the zip and lock them with the padlock. Store the keys in the leather key bell (clochette) to keep them handy.
Q: How should I care for Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather trim? A: Wipe the coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Vachetta leather is untreated and will develop a patina; avoid water exposure, oils, and colour‑transfer. For marks on Vachetta, use only gentle, leather‑specific products and test on a hidden area first. Store the bag loosely stuffed in its dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: Can I use the Alma BB in light rain? A: The coated canvas is generally resilient to light moisture, but the Vachetta leather trim can darken or spot with water. Use an umbrella and avoid prolonged exposure to rain to preserve the leather’s appearance.
Q: Where is the date code, and what if there isn’t one? A: Older Alma BB bags usually have a date code stamped inside. From 2021 onward, Louis Vuitton phased out visible date codes in favour of internal microchips readable only by the brand, so some authentic pieces won’t have a date code. Our in‑house team authenticates each item using multi‑point checks regardless of the presence of a code.
Q: What accessories are included with this specific item? A: This piece comes with a box, dust bag, detachable shoulder strap, padlock, keys, and key bell, as listed on this page.
