It's beautiful! I just wish I bought it a few years ago when it was 400 Eur cheaper..
Agreed! When I first looked into DE, I purchased the speedy 25b because I was underwhelmed by the Alma bb in DE (I really liked my epi version). I could have bought it cheaper then! Fast forward, I impulsively decided I needed the DE in my life because I didn’t want to overuse the epi. I am glad I bought it…

I just received a replacement Alma BB in monogram. Is it normal for the inside lining to be loose? It looks like there are a few air pockets inside. Is the lining supposed to be flat against the canvas?

My first Alma BB had the same issue. It was purchased online. I sent it back and opted to buy one in store and that one did not have any air bubbles / issues with the lining at all!
 
I need your input ladies!
I went to pick up today my Alma bb in epi (coquelicot and MIF) and the inside was "bubbly" on the side (with which i was ok-ish with as i am hunting dow the bag since summer and the SA told me it ia due to the microchip) but what was worst is that the bottom was SUPER DUPER bubbly. I was shocked. Of course the SA tried to convince me to keep the bag as it is how it is constructed (fyi i have never experienced this in other epi alma's).

Could you please provide some input on whether the suede bottom misalignment is something normal?! I wanted sooo much to keep the bag but i thought what on earth i should be happy spending 1350K euros on it..q
 
Hmm.. Funny thing is that I saw in a boutique a week ago the Alma bb monogram and was preety flawless. If i was not after the epi I would have purchased it.

Any other experiences with loose/bubbly interior for the epi's in the microchip era ?..
