Q: What are the size and capacity of the Alma PM? A: This piece measures approximately 31 × 24 × 15 cm. The official Alma PM specification is 12.6 × 9.8 × 6.3 inches and it comfortably carries daily essentials such as a long wallet, a 9-inch tablet, smartphone, sunglasses case and a small cosmetics pouch.
Q: What typically fits inside for everyday use? A: Common carry includes a full‑size long wallet, keys, phone, sunglasses in a case and a small pouch; it can also accommodate a compact tablet or e‑reader (for example, iPad mini/Kindle). Packing style will affect the exact capacity.
Q: Can I attach a shoulder or crossbody strap to this Alma PM? A: The Alma PM is primarily a handheld bag with dual rolled top handles (approx. 9 cm drop on this piece). A Louis Vuitton strap sold separately can be clipped to the metal handle mounts for shoulder or crossbody wear. Please note that our product information for this item shows no additional items included.
Q: Will A4 papers or a 13-inch laptop fit? A: No. Due to the PM size and domed opening, A4 documents and 13-inch laptops do not fit flat. A small tablet fits comfortably.
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 does the date code BA0958 mean? A: BA indicates a French workshop. For pre‑2007 codes, the first and third digits show the month and the second and fourth digits show the year, so 0958 decodes to May 1998.
Q: How does the Vachetta leather age, and how should I care for it? A: The natural, untreated Vachetta develops a deeper honey patina over time and is sensitive to water and oils. If it gets wet, blot immediately with a light, absorbent cloth; avoid prolonged sunlight or humidity, and handle with clean, dry hands.
Q: Is the Monogram canvas easy to maintain? A: The coated canvas is robust and resistant to light splashes, but the Vachetta trim and handles are not water‑resistant. Take care in rain and avoid contact with liquids or creams on the leather parts.
Q: Does this model have protective feet and a padlock? A: The Alma PM design features four protective metal feet on the base and many editions include a padlock and key bell. Items included with this specific piece are exactly as listed under product information.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
