i have several alma bbs in epi and love and use them all. they are bags i don't expect to ever part with. i think alma bb is one of the best made bags made by lv, great details and unexpected capacity for a small bag . i love the colors they have offered over the years and they are my go to bag for a day or night outing. best of luck.
Should I purchase the Alma BB in Epi??

This bag is already sold out in the US in the galet color. Unfortunately, I missed out. Any chance they will release it again in another season or better yet will they restock? I’m not familiar with how LV does things. I know with Chanel if it’s a seasonal color, once it’s gone it is gone.
Normally, once it is gone it is gone for seasonal colours.
However if you keep trying with this bag I think you will get it. My SA wasn’t sure but she thinks Galet will become a permanent seasonal colour. It’s been around for a while (the colour itself, not the Galet Alma).
LV also tends to release seasonal colours in waves so they are usually around for at least a couple of months.
I think more will come keep your eye on the website or go into a store ask an SA to order one for you.
Thank you so much for your insight! I’m going to try to get my hands on it! It’s such a beautifu, elegant bag in a lovely neutral color!
Supposedly new Alma BB in new epi colors with different straps are coming out soon, maybe as soon as end of October. There are pics of them in the clubhouse. I also love the Galet and keep checking for it’s availability, but I might like one in one of the new colors too.
So after not having any success stalking the website, I went to Saks and an LV SA told me there was only one left in the nation. He didn’t take a deposit due to inventory being so low, but he said that he would try to get it for me. He wasn’t able to. A week later I was in the main LV boutique in my city and an SA there told me I would have a better chance of getting the bag if I put a deposit down ...there was still one Alma bb in galet showing in the nation. I paid the deposit knowing that the chances were slim. The SA got back to me a couple days later and said that she wasn’t able to track down that particular bag, but that they received one in the boutique that very day!!! I feel like it was meant to be! I received it in the mail yesterday and I couldn’t be happier with this bag! The silhouette is so elegant and timeless, and the color is just perfect. It’s the perfect light taupe color.
That was so rare but it is gone. I love epi with gold hardware. Missed my chance!!!
There is one available for sale on Mercari. It is listed a little over retail but it has been there for a while...about a month or a little longer...and if you message the seller they may be willing to go down on price. I say this because I have bags for sale on eBay and these days inventory is moving a lot more slowly. I would also ask for a copy of the receipt. This is not a bag one purchases to sell and make a profit so it’s likely that the person selling it has buyer‘s remorse. They probably just want to get it off their hands. It can’t hurt to ask
I’m actually doing the reverse! Just bought my first LV - a speedy 25 and already eyeing the Alma epi noir and I haven’t even received my speedy yet! Everyone is right - this is truly addictive
Yes, it is addictive. With my noe BB DA is still on the way, I am already thinking about Alma BB in epi.. considering I already have Alma BB in Monogram. Thought I reached purse peace after Noe BB.....
