If the zipper is smooth and doesn’t effect the sides it’s probably fine. Mine is straighter but not perfect either.

If it’s bothering you - I would call LV and see what they suggest. If it’s within the 30 days they might let you exchange it.
Y'all got me wondering what my date code was. Managed to find it in my bag and it was made the 22nd week. Which is kind of cool because that would have been my old birthday week.Mine is the same
You can try rubbing wax paper along the teeth of both sides of the zipper. That will make it smooth.
I guess this comes from wearing the bag with the strap, as it attaches to one d-ring on the front and one on the back, the sides might get a bit crooked.
I have an Alma BB in DE. I have a clemence empreinte I used with my alma bb. Sometimes I’ll use my Zoe empreinte instead. The Zoe is a compact wallet so it’s easier to pull out of the Alma bb, but I don’t feel like it’s more difficult to pull out my clemence.
I just got one too!!! I had been told by two separate LV locations that there was only one left in the nation. The first SA was not able to get it for me but the second SA came through! She just notivied me that she has the epi Alma bb in galet and is mailing It to me. I am thrilled!!! I had very little hope of obtaining this bag, and so I feel quite lucky!!!After ordering it in my local store, watching stock in the U.S. disappear, canceling that order and ordering it over the phone with a store that showed availability online, no tracking information and numerous calls to cs to find out where the package was, this beauty was FINALLY left on my front porch.I am in love. So glad to add her to my collection. Of course I won’t be able to carry her until after Christmas. My husband bought it for me because he said I have done so much for our family since the beginning of the pandemic and he thought I deserved something special. Feeling very lucky and loved.

Coquelicot is French for poppy, if that’s what you mean, so I would say it’s the same color
Joined the club a few days ago when I got this baby for my birthday!! I am so in love! I was saving up to buy this myself but was tossing between this or the speedy b 25 in mono. My heart didn’t feel disappointed when I got this!Question though... I noticed that when I carry this as crossbody, I notice the zips get a bit crooked but it’s fine when I set it down and straighten it out. But I was wondering if the long term use of the straps will cause permanent warping of the zips? TIA! xx
I can join the club!!!!!!!! Got it 2 days ago and she has the new matte leather (I didn’t even know they they had made a change). I chose this one out of 2 different ones as one had very wrinkled handles! This one was smooth on one and minor on the other one so she became my baby and the only wrinkles she will have will be from aging with me! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello everyone,
I am new here and new to Louis Vuitton too! I have just received the Alma BB and I am so in love
I noticed under the handle 1 section of the stitching seems slightly looser than the rest, do you guys think this is a defect or nothing to worry over?
If you could let me know your opinions that would be greatly appreciated
Kindest regards x

Welcome, congrats and I think you got yourself a good handle!! Many have gotten wrinkled leather handles so count yourself lucky! Enjoy your bag and if a stitch actually comes loose, THEN I would worry and call customer service. So enjoy your new baby ❤️
Thank you and thank you for your advice! I shall do just that
