Well technically I collected this item on the 30th of June, but hey let's just post on this new thread :smile:
My World Tour Alma BB


Picking her up in store.....

Knowing the bag is 'made-to-order', the bag smells as fresh as it can possibly be!

Quite symmetrical!

Base of the bag is so shiny and smooth

From what I've read all My World Tour items are Made In France

Lastly here is my new Alma BB next to her 5 year old sister, the 'One Handle Flap Bag'.

Your Alma is beautiful! Somehow the black makes the monogram canvas more vibrant! Enjoy!

Do you have a favourite SLG from this collection, btw? I thought I was over the MF ZCP after having it in my mind for literally two months, but I really love the mono pattern and colour gradient at the back! I didn't like the giant LV at the front.

Hi @basgsamplified - I think my favorites are the Midnight Fuchsia Kirigami and the Zippy Coin - both look great in this colorway! I like the Papillon too in the MF but feel like its too small to hold much. Probably just the ZCP, phone, keys, thats it! I wish LV would've done a Speedy 20 and.or Vanity PM in MF - would've snapped those up in a heartbeat!!

After close to 9 months of wanting and not wanting her…. I have finally decided to put myself on the waitlist and order!
In all honestly, it wasn’t such a long wait as what my CS claim so. It took less than 2 weeks from waitlist to my hands. Quite sure the “popularity” has died down a little.

I wanted the bag since I first saw it. But was advised that it will be a long wait and subsequently “not possible” to get on the waitlist anymore by my previous CA. What an idiot! He just didn’t want to order it for me. The feeling of wanting it died down then recently, I have renewed interest in the bag again because it’s being “refreshed”.

The first feel when I felt the canvas, it’s so unlike other monogram canvas I own (MPA & Diane). It’s touch is slightly “sticky” (not actually sticky but it’s got more “friction” when I run my hand along the canvas). Later, I realised that actually the canvas is slightly thicker than MPA and the Diane.

The zipper pulls are so shiny!! Comparing to the handle hardware, zipper pulls are so shiny!!
View attachment 5438081

Also, I noticed that there are double stitching on three of sewing (circled in blue). I was going to “label” it as a flaw but then I noticed that it’s the same three sewing on all 4 of leather trims holding the handles (all at the bottom left side) Which makes me wonder, could it be the artisan’s way of “signing off” his/her work? ~ the signature of the artisan is where they double the threading in a consistent pattern. Because frankly, I don’t see the need to double the threading on some stitches and others don’t. I think it makes sense, because they are not allow to mark it in any other way. They might need to trace back, which artisan is doing which piece of bag to be accountable for their work.

great speedy - and it appears with the adjustable strap! - I love mine. Hope you enjoy! And actually double stitching in sewing is almost always to reinforce stress points - most all LV bags have double stitching at points on the handles where the stitching ends.

In Hawaii celebrating 25th wedding anniversary….done a lot of damage already (Hermès, Cartier) and popped into LV Waikiki “just” to grab a key cles for a gift….famous last words. :shocked:
Enquired after the new TP 26/15, lovely SA’s first words were, “how do you know about that?” Ha ha ha….if she only knew about TPF!
Oh boy, grabbed the only TP in stock, Marelle MM in Gold Honey (a gorgeous caramel color), Summer Stardust Jacquard shawl in Navy, black empriente key cles for myself and 1 for gift, LV First Square sunnies and new Fleur du Desert parfum (shipping most and I forgot to take a photos of some of the items). Oops….

Going home tonight….good thing or I might not be celebrating another anniversary…:lol:
Thanks for letting me share!
