@Snowshoe42 It's not too bad actually, but still visible.

Is it a Fuchsia . I once time place my bag on the box and one side of the handle laying on the bag then I got some other boxes on the top, when I took my bag out I saw. Big long crease like this. So I stuffed my bag with clothes/ towel. Make it puffy , the crease is gone now.

I got this recently. This is what it looks like in daylight and is very close to the actual IRL color. It is a nice vibrant pink, but not neon. It's hard to describe because it changes with the lighting. I'd say it's close to magenta and fuchsia pink, with blue undertones. Hope this helps!

After stalking purseforum for many years I've finally got my own to post! I picked up my first luxury piece ever this weekend and could not be happier. I went in the store looking to buy a nano noe or nano speedy but neither were in stock so I settled for the alma bb and it was the best decision. It's a graduation/18th bday gift so mom and I split the cost :smile: This has definitely started an addiction, I really want the Victorine wallet and the toiletry 15 now. I'm going to contact my store to see if I can get my clochette hot stamped since I forgot to ask when I picked her up :/ Anyways, here's my first LV piece!!

Can anyone tell me what are the differences between the old and new version of the alma bb bag and whether you think the new version is better? I'm interested in the Damier Ebene print.

I believe that on the new version the brown leather is more matte. Whereas the older version was more shiny. I think they did that to prevent the leather from cracking with wear just like they did with the never full. I can’t really say which one is better because I have the new version. But thats the only difference.

Was the shiny leather more prone to cracking? You like the matte look better or shiny?

I heard a rumor that almas are only made in France. But from watching “what’s in my bag?” and “unboxing” videos, it’s all different. Mine was made in France when I bought it last year. I actually prefer the matte leather. I think it makes the bag look more understated and fresh. It is all up to personal preference.

This past week I was reorganizing my small little handbag collection. I have an alma bb in damier ebene and I love that bag so much. It makes me feel so classy but the strap is just too long, and I’m 4’11. The bag is practically to the floor. Last week I acquired the multi pochette accessoires in Kaki. My question is, would it look weird if I used the kaki strap even though there are vechetta tabs against the brown leather? The strap is honestly the only reason why I don’t use it as much.

I think this would still look good! Honestly if the original strap is holding you back from using it, I would give the MPA strap a try. Are you able to post a picture?
