Hi Alma lovers,
I noticed black spots on the ghw of my 5 months old Alma bb... wore her two times :shocked: yikes...
I am not sure if I want to make a fuss about it but its definitely chipping- you feel it when you run a fingernail over it ..:annoyed: what do you say? Happens anyway so just let go? :oh:
Thats normal..it will happen on all metal details..you can clean the metal details with ketchup ...it really works well and it looks like new then. It oxidates because it's brass
 
Hi all! I’ve had my Alma bb in DE for a week now but I’ve been sick the last week so she’s been sitting pretty in the dust bag. Today since I was finally feeling better I decided to use her but every time I put my stuff in it the zipper was wonky. I see the pictures in the forum and also on YouTube and nobody seems to be complaining about this problem am I doing something wrong???
I tried the following items:
Mini pochette
6 ring key holder
Cles
iPhone XR with slim case and a pop socket
Chanel zippy coin purse (or whatever it’s actually called)
Bastia coin purse

Any insight would be great!

That is common when you pack too much in it. I‘m playing Tetris with my Almas but I got used to it. I pack the Mini pochette to one side, cles and my wallet to the other side and my phones in the middle. I can still put sunglasses on top but that’s it. IMG_1136.JPG
 
Hello there! I was thinking of the Alma BB as my first ever designer handbag, is it worth it?
Thank you
Hi-
I‘d say its a great choice
+ classic style you can have forever
+ carry options (crossbody, shoulder, handheld)
+ it is a lot of bag for the money (leather parts, lock, clochette, strap)
+in epi or damier ebene super weather proof!
+ can be dressed up or down

A con might be the non- adjustable strap if it doesn‘t suit your size... and the vachetta if you pick monogram canvas. It doesn‘t hold a ton but enough for me... I use it to go out or if I want to be hands free. Its not an everyday bag for me.

Good luck deciding! :flowers:
 
I've had my Alma bb in DE for a year now ( only use it during special occasions). When i initially purchased her the handle has a mark that seems to be apart of the leather. Did anyone have this issue and is it normal? I tried to take a photo. Not looking to get it fixed just want to know if this is natural and how to care for it! Would i have to take it to the store?

I can't wait till I get my alma bb world tour with black handles.. due to the covid crisis I have to wait until my store reopens... I also don't know if it has already been produced and when it will be shipped to the store.. I hope I will get it before summer and I really hope that the crisis will end soon ..
