May I know why? I use to love the Alma bb and had 4 at one time… I’m left with one now…n hardly reach for it after having many other bags.

To me it's not really a practical bag. I like to wear my bags crossbody and if I do that with the Alma it just looks so awkward on me, I think because of the shape of the wider bottom. I also think the zipper opening is a bit of a hassle, I prefer a flapbag for accessibility or a zipper bag with a big enough opening but with the Alma it's a bit too thight for me. I also think the handles look a bit meh when they hang besides the bag while crossbody. I only like it as a handheld bag but if that's the only use for me it's too expensive to buy :biggrin: I would consider the Nano Alma tho as a pure handheld bag but I don't want the silver hardware.

Why did you let go of your Alma bags? Don't want to offend anyone who loves their Alma by the way:hbeat: it's just not a good match for me, which is a pity because the Alma always comes in these lovely editions :sad:

I see your points. And understand how the shape n zipper could be a hassle. I just felt I had too many and wasn’t reaching for them as much. I’m now left with only the black epi electric which I adore. I use it as a handheld for dinners and night outings.

Omg love the gold hw :heart::panic: :loveeyes::loveeyes::loveeyes:

Is this printed calfskin or canvas? It looks like calfskin to me but I want to make sure. Thanks!
I love the monogram ink too! Don’t know for sure, but as soon as I saw it it reminded me of my camera box leather which is indeed calfskin. And it’s a lovely leather if they are similar! I was sorry to have missed the original monogram ink pieces.

I pre-ordered my turquoise p9 but I am having thoughts of canceling the order.
1- I wanted it on launch date.
2- I'm scared to actually take it outside
3- I'd rather travel with that $
(but I still want one 🩵)

I wanted one, too. Badly. Then I also realized I’d be too afraid to carry it and I could take a couple of good trips with that money, or some home upgrades.

I also didn’t want to play the LV game of ordering and then waiting to see if I’d actually get one.

That said, I still daydream about that bag! It’s incredibly beautiful and if you decide to get it please do share it here so we can all drool over its beauty!

How gorgeous! Thanks for sharing your stunning bag @DrTr ! It's great to actually see this elegant finish on an actual bag before the Alma's release :) Is the leather rubbery or smooth feeling (like the black leather on the Palm Springs backpack line)? And do you find it high or low maintenance? TY
