Louis Vuitton Epi Alma

Louis Vuitton Epi Alma

I have never denied or hidden the fact that I am a huge fan of Louis Vuitton. While the monogram line does not always tickle my fancy, I find Louis Vuitton to be one of the longstanding luxury brands left designing bags. Not every bag is a homerun, but there are plenty of great options every season. But if you do not want the glitz and glam, opt for the Louis Vuitton Epi Line. I have brought up the Epi line often, speaking of its ease of cleaning, lack of logos, and overall likability. The Alma comes in a classic shape, is light-weight, and available in an array of colors from the Epi line. Cassis, Ivoire, Black, Red, and Grenade are the colors available in the Louis Vuitton Epi Alma, the textured hand-held carryall which is a staple of the house. The bag is named after the Place de l'Alma, the grand Paris square at the end of Avenue Montaigne. The Alma features textured leather and is trimmed with smooth leather. The inside is lined with Alcantara lining (which is precisely what Vlad goes gaga over in his favorite luxury cars). Buy through eLuxury for $1,240.

Mmmm... the Alma is truly classic and the epi leather sets it off so nicely. I just wish LV did it in Cannelle - delicious!

The Alma is on top of my wishlist right now... I wanted it in damier canvas but the Ivoire Epi sure looks gorgeous too!

I saw some of the Alma's in the purple & fuschia (I can't recall the exact colors right now) this past weekend and they are gorgeous. I love the color and the shape of the Alma and I think it is so timeless in the epi.

Perfect, classic bag.

Epi

People often forget that LV is much more than the Monogram line.

The Epi Alma! One of my two favorites from LV....and probably my fav of the two. Very classic, timeless, and simple. I love the epi leather. If (and when) I finally decide to buy an LV it will definitely be of the epi line. Very Nice!

What can I say about a classic? The shape, the colors, everything...just exquisite.

Out of all the LV out there, this is one bag that I would truly own. It is a classic.

LVobsessed415 · Jun 13th, 2008, 12:11 PM
