Hi!
Ive been wanting to get the alma bb in epi leather, in either black or galet !!
I was leaning towards the galet, only because I own an extensive collection of both black and nude/neutral colored bags, but no gray. Is the galet really gray as LV describes it in theur description or it is actually more nude? How does it do with color transfers?
Which color would you recommend?!

Please help me decide~!
 
Hi all! I recently brought my dream alma bb in damier bag! However as we're in lockdown in the uk I had to buy online so couldn't see it in-store first. Without comparing it to others I noticed on my bag the bottom panel's finish isn't completely smooth but has a 'wavy' finish. I believe the finish of the newer version (matt rubbery finish) is different to the material used in the past (shiny finishh). Could anyone shed any light on this, or if I should return it and get another one as it should not be the case? Thank you!

Yeahthere's somethin with the bottom part. That's why I always prefer goin to the store to see it personally I never buy online. There was one time this SA gave me a crinkled handle and when I compared it to the bag I bought the difference was huge.

Hi there! I have been trying to get the galet alma bb as well but was told by LV customer service that this color is no longer in production. Please correct me if you heard otherwise or found one? I am based in the US

Thank you! I will return and am looking to order another. Although I'm now thinking about it in epi leather... Dilemma! Ideally I'd like the dm in the pm size but it's always out of stock :(

I'd return -- here's what the bottom of my alma bb in de looks like. Maybe book a virtual appointment and ask the SA to bring out multiples, so you can compare the bottoms?

I feel like the galet is beige with grey undertones. I also think epi in any color is pretty is easy to keep clean as you can just wipe off dirt.
 
I went nuts this year, collected 4 alma bb’s from preloved market

just want to share my alma bb collection..I need to stop!
