I did that once and it feels much better! I’m not sure how good it is for the rings, but it’s easier when worn crossbody for sure
I need to wear mine now, especially since it’s been raining so much! It looks just beautiful
The perfect little bag when you don’t need to carry much. My bag is a little over 3 years old. I think my next LV purchase will be another BB but in a bright spring/summer color. Love this bag
I have this color too.

Ah you bring up a good point! I hadn't thought about the wear on the rings :-/. Hmm. Do you think that long term it will damage them? Would love input from others as well on this, too!
I’m not sure if it will damage them. They are silver on mine, so it won’t wear as much as the gold will. Sunshine Mama mentioned one page back that if you push up the opposite D ring- sort of lock it up- it will help the strap to be straight. I tried it last night and it looked much better.
Quick question for all of the Alma BB owners! Do you have a “made in The US” clothing tag attached to the pocket? No leather Louis Vuitton tag? I have one from 2013 that’s Epi Noir like this and I’ve never come across this until mine. Wanted to know when they changed it up to just the date code! Thank you!
You were already advised in the main forum yesterday to post in the "Authenticate this LV" thread, because you are asking about authenticity -- good luck!
I’m not trying to be a pain, I promise. I am just hoping to find out more about this cloth tag. I tried asking the boutique, they refused to help me. I tried posting in the authenticity thread yesterday with the only photos I have from the listing because I don’t have the bag yet, but it wasn’t enough. I was hoping someone may simply know a little history behind the bag or if someone had the bag made around the same year who might help cross reference.
I guess I’m just going to have to wait until I get the bag because I have exhausted my options.

Ah makes sense, and sorry to hear that you're running into issues verifying this! Hope someone can help you out soon.
Can you post a picture of how that works? That's the one thing that's always bothered me about the alma bb when seeing it worn crossbody. It makes me hesitate committing to getting it.
I can do it tomorrow, but I'm not exactly sure if it's what she meant. So, basically the opposite side D ring that you don't hook the strap to just make sure it's straight up. I tried it today but I'm not sure if it stays that way while your wearing it. You could try hooking both on just one side of the bag, but I'm not sure if it damages the rings.
Here is a picture with both D rings up and it doesn't look too unbalanced this way. I guess just make sure one is not bending.
@USCGirlie @Aliluvlv ,So here are two images of the D ring. The top one is lifted up, and the bottom one is laying down. If the ring is up, there is less of a crooked look to the way the bag hangs. I'm just not sure how long it will stay this way. You don't have to wear it with the handles up either.
