okay, ALMA finally caught my attention! Rivington pm or Alma MM?

[Lc4x4]

First time I was in LV I saw the Alma monogram canvas. I was like " Ew, its stiff and shapey " But now, I saw the beauty and It caught my attention. Should I get it? I dont like the Alma in Vernis. Can't get the ebene because it doesn't come with a strap and don't want to spend over $1,250 dollars. I cant get the bb because its too small but it comes with a strap. I love the Monogram canvas version but it has patination. So searched for ebene, FOUND RIVINGTON PM AND ITS FAB! Saw a review of an Italian woman showing every detail of it. IT WAS GORGY! Spacious and great for my second LV. But I have a strap from my Speedy B which I can use for the Alma MM if I get one so no more extra bucks to pay, but the patination is a NOT for me. Still, its gorgeous!

So which should I get? Alma MM or Rivington PM? THANKS TPFERS!

I guess your only choice is the rivington, since you don't like patina??

 

[crumpy]

I agree. You said it yourself that you don't like patina. Then it must be the Rivington.

 

[candiebear]

You seem a lot more excited over the rivington. I'll pick that because of your excitement for it.

 

[LVoeletters]

You sound like you already have your mind made up on the rivington lol, but I personally love the alma

 

[LVKeepallfan]

classic Alma MM all the way !

 

[piglett]

i say Rivington PM!

and also cause you sound that you prefer that over the alma and it doesnt have patina to worry bout

 

[sammytheMUA]

for you rivington because it seems like thats what you really want

 

[needlv]

I love alma's - but I prefer them in epi or vernis.

 

[prplhrt21]

Rivington!!

 

[ivonna]

I personally would prefer Alma, but in vernis. I voted for the Rivington because from what you say, it seems a better fit for you.

 

[salsared]

I prefer the alma. Not a fan of rivington.

I have the Alma MM monogram, I love her!!! I tried on a strap in the store and it didn't work. The base is huge so it doesn't sit right, also there are no brass rings for a strap like on the smaller version so when u hook it, it looks strange... Try your strap on at the store to see of u like the way it hangs... GL
