Hi,
I would like to update you on my Alma bb issue with the black spots on the hardware. Thanks @Babsiegirl @EdnaMode ! I contacted LV and after (4!) e-mails they finally asked me to bring it in....I‘ll try to do that this week and hope that it will be fixed somehow....

I finally did it, and the BEAUTIFUL ms. Néo alma bb in empriente is on her way to me! Soooo happy!! I see this as a timeless bag I will love and wear many years to come, and very versatile!
Hi, please help me decide on my next bag. I really like the Alma BB and have narrowed it down to the following options:
Alma BB in DE
Alma BB in Seaside Epi
Alma BB in Coquelicot Epi
Clothing wise, l tend to wear neutrals with my bag providing the pop to an outfit.
Current bag collection
DE: I don’t own any brown bags and have been on the hunt for the perfect autumn bag. The DE fits this criteria and would of course work all year around. I don’t have anything like it in my collection and l love how it looks, particularly when dressed with a bag charm.
Seaside: I felt drawn to this colour right away, l really love it and it is probably my favourite colour out of the three, but it is so similar in colour to my Mulberry Amberley, above. My Amberley is my most used bag and seems to work with and elevate all of my outfits. Comparing my Amberley to the photos of the Seaside BB online, the Seaside seems a bit more powder blue and the Amberlet a bit more towards green. I love this colour (it feels so fresh) but wonder if l will get as much use out of it if it is too similar to my other bag.
Coquelicot: I love how vivid this colour is and l don’t have a red or any warm bright colours in my collection. My main concern here would be whether red bags are hard to style with an outfit? I would like to get lots of use out of whichever bag l end up going for and wonder how others have found the Coquelicot colour? Does it easily go with your wardrobe?
Anyway, would love to hear your thoughts, which is your favourite of the three? Which do you think would make the best addition to my current collection? And if you already have any of these bags, how easy have you found them to style with your wardrobe?

You have a beautiful collection!
Any epi Alma bb:
1. Must be careful of the handles during storage or while wearing it, to make sure that the handles do not make a smiley imprint on the side of the bag.
2. Must me careful of hairline scratches. They're hard to see from far away, but definitely visible close up.
Damier Ebene:
Very carefree. Don't have to worry about making the smile imprint.
Otherwise they are all gorgeous!
Thanks, l had no idea about the potential for handle marks and hairline scratches.
@Snowshoe42 It's not too bad actually, but still visible.
Here's an example. Do you see the "smile"?

Thanks, sorry l thought you meant a colour transfer where the handles could rub. Thanks for the photo that's really useful. Yes, it doesn't look anywhere anywhere near as bad l thought. A slight impression in the leather. I think l could live with that if need be
Hello ladies & gentleman,
I just joined the club and I’m oh so excited. I’m a little bummed though because I was hoping to get mine hot stamped. I purchased the bag right before closing, so I was unable to at the time. I came back the next day to switch the lock since it was scratched. I asked about the hot stamping and they were unable to accommodate due to COVID-19 since the bag already left the store. I was advised it needed to be done the same day. There is currently a hold on repairs and hot stamps until further notice.

Congrats on your new beauty! It's sooooo cute.
And I'm sorry you couldn't get it hot stamped.
Thank you for the info about the item needing to be stamped before it leaves the store!!!
Thank you I am so obsessed with her! Yes of course, I am hoping these services open up soon. I would love to personalize my Alma just to make her feel a bit more like mine.
