Joining the club with a new to me BB in mono vernis rose angelique ♡
Took me SO long to decide on canvas vs leather and colour. This came up and I just knew this is the one. Can't wait to use it. :yahoo: View attachment 4783686

I’m jealous she’s gorgeous! I hope you enjoy your new bag for many years to come! That’s been on my radar too - but I’m very happy for you

What year is it from? And have you noticed any discoloration? Someone in another post said hers was turning yellow from the handles. Which I wonder if LV could replace afterall? Curios what your experience is. Thanks

Thank you! :)
Date code says 2013 which i find consistent with most RA items. I have noticed no discoloration, it looks very well taken cared of by the original owner. I have heard of patent yellowing over time, hence why it took me long to decide. From my research unfortunately LV will call it normal wear and tear. But I've decided to store it properly (dry, cool) and if time comes that it still yellows then I will have it dyed to a vibrant colour. :)

Thanks! I was asking for year for fear of discoloration on the bags I’m looking at but that’s a fabulous idea you had to remedy the problem! I didn’t know that was even possible.
Thanks again and enjoy your new bag!!!

Just received my pre loved Alma BB in Epi Noir! Can't get over it

Question: do you protect the leather? Made it waterproof? As epi is durable from itself, also do you wear it with or without a bag organizer

The Alma BB is too small for an organizer IMO. It would take a lot of space from the already small capacity. The epi leather is durable (even though it scratches quite easily), you don’t have to waterproof it. :smile:

Congrats! I use this handbag the most. It’s a good idea to wipe the bag to remove dust between ridges. I also periodically condition the leather.
