Louis Vuitton Alma

The Alma has been Louis Vuitton's most architectural handbag since 1934: a structured trapezoid with a double zip, rolled handles and a padlock, carried by hand or — in the smaller sizes — on a strap. Our pre-owned selection covers the Alma BB, PM and MM in Monogram and Damier canvas, Epi leather and glossy Vernis.

Good to know

  • Sizes: BB (mini, usually with a crossbody strap), PM (the classic hand-carry), MM (the roomiest of the three).
  • Vintage check points: the shape holding true, base corners and feet, vachetta handle darkening on canvas versions, and smooth zip action.
  • Finishes: Epi is the understated, logo-free option; Vernis is the dressiest — check for colour transfer, which ranks reflect honestly.

Every piece is checked by our team in Japan and graded on our published condition rank scale (N, S, SA, A, AB, B), and retail orders include an Entrupy Certificate of Authenticity. Stock is one of one: when a piece sells, it is gone. Sold-out pages stay up so you can compare — and if the one you want has sold, message us and we will find it for you.
