I'm with the yes group. It's beautiful and I have a feeling it will increase in value 
Limited Edition Alma BB releasing on May 7
- Thread starter mixlv
- Start date
For ME though, I'd get a Coussin at that price point, but I already have 2 Alma BB.
I've loved the metal monogram since I saw it on the Spring Summer 2021 runway show. The Alma epitomizes LV, so the style takes it to another level for me. Plus if it is VVN, I can only imagine how lovely the contrast with a honey patina will look.
That said, it really depends on how you feel about it in person. Every runway piece I have are permanent pieces in my collection, but each one I buy, I'm head over heels in love with.

Thank you for the explanation, learning so much…
I contacted an SA and she was able to preorder it but it requires a full deposit.
If it's VVN the bag isn't for me. I sold all of my bags with vachetta except for one. But I have learned so much just by reading the replies to this thread - thank you so much - especially to @BULL I have googled a lot of these terms. The leather is gorgeous but the treatment of it just won't work for me.
The bag is beautiful! The interior is stunning. I definitely think you should buy it if you love it.
I have bought and sold alot of LV over the past 10+ years and regarding resale, the leather bags don't hold their value as well. And it's a bb, so that's a particular audience that wants a small bag. Many people say around the 4k mark is where they rather spend more and get Chanel.
I think the average buyer would just get a canvas bb new rather than buy a pre-owned leather bag (they could get two for the price of that one bag). But I'm sure the consignment stores would buy it. But it seems unlikely you'll make a profit or break even in the future because it's already so expensive and the bag can patina and show wear. HTH.

I voted no for the reason you stated-it's too expensive for what it is. But only you know its value and if it's worth it to YOU.
I want to thank you all for your comments. I learned a lot from this post and I appreciate you all so much. You know more than the SA’s that’s for sure. I love my empriente Montaigne and my taurilion capucines but this delicate VVN is not for me. Thank you for taking the time to help
Me understand.
Me understand.
I voted no. I do like the metallic symbols but would not spend that much on what I consider an impractically small bag. Also not a fan of the color.
I personally think it is a beautiful bag. Too bad the delicate nature of the leather is a deal breaker for you. I would still reserve judgment until you pick it up in person to feel it in your hands. You never know what will make your heart sing!
