Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Monogram Alma PM? A: The Alma PM is a spacious everyday bag perfect for daily essentials. It comfortably holds a large smartphone, a full-size continental wallet, a cosmetic pouch, keys, sunglasses in a hard case, and a small notebook or tablet. While it is roomy (approx. 35 cm width), the structured, domed silhouette means large rectangular items like 13-inch laptops typically do not fit. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions of this piece.
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 Louis Vuitton Monogram Alma PM? A: The Alma PM is a spacious everyday bag perfect for daily essentials. It comfortably holds a large smartphone, a full-size continental wallet, a cosmetic pouch, keys, sunglasses in a hard case, and a small notebook or tablet. While it is roomy (approx. 35 cm width), the structured, domed silhouette means large rectangular items like 13-inch laptops typically do not fit. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions of this piece.
Q: Can I wear this bag on my shoulder or crossbody? A: The Alma PM is designed primarily as a handbag, carried in the hand or on the crook of the arm using the dual rolled top handles. While many Alma models have hardware that allows for a strap to be attached, this specific vintage piece is listed with “no accessories” and does not include a detachable shoulder strap. It is best suited for hand carry.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The bag features a sturdy double-zip closure that extends down the sides. This allows the bag to open widely for easy access while keeping your belongings very secure when zipped shut.
Q: What is the condition of the leather on this vintage piece? A: As noted in the condition report, this bag is in “Good” condition. The Vachetta (natural cowhide) leather trim and handles display a visible patina, which is the natural darkening that occurs with age. There are also watermarks and scuffing on the base and trim, typical for a refined vintage piece from 1997. Please review the photos to see the specific character of this bag.
Q: Does the bag stand upright on its own? A: Yes, the Alma is renowned for its structured shape and reinforced leather base, allowing it to stand firmly upright when placed down. It typically features protective metal feet on the bottom to protect the leather base.
Q: What is the interior layout? A: The interior is lined in brown canvas and features a single main compartment with one internal slip pocket, ideal for organizing smaller items like cards or a phone.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram Canvas and Vachetta leather? A: Monogram coated canvas is durable and water-resistant; simply wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. The Vachetta leather is untreated and porous, meaning it absorbs water and oils—this is what creates the patina. To prevent further staining, avoid contact with rain, hand creams, and perfumes. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag to maintain its iconic shape.
Q: Where are the brand markings and date code located? A: Authentic Louis Vuitton bags from this era feature a date code, usually found on a leather tab inside the internal pocket or along a seam. The serial number for this piece is BA0967, indicating it was manufactured in France in June 1997.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Any included items (such as a dust bag, padlock, or keys) are listed under “Accessories.” This specific listing notes “no accessories,” meaning it serves as the bag only. If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
