Question: do you guys find it annoying how the straps where the straps hook onto the bag are raised higher than the other side of the strap when you're wearing it x-body or on the shoulder? I find the alma bb to be the perfect size and although the strap isn't adjustable it fits just right on me. However, after trying on the mono, DE, and black epi leather alma bb, I noticed that the way the strap raises where the purse strap hooks bother me. I know that it's made that way to decrease wear and tear on the handles but anyway. I do love the silhouette and size so I may just bite the bullet but wanted to get your input, does it bother anyone of you all?

It doesn’t really bother me.

At first, I was bothered but not anymore. I would find myself hand carrying the bag when I was bothered by how the handles look when I use the strap. I'm just glad to be able to carry my Alma bb more than one way.

I’m debating between colors. Indigo or Rose Ballerine.

i like the idea of Rose Ballerine because it feels summery. But, I am worried about color transfer. And, I have two dark pink bags already, so I’m not sure how this will fit in. The indigo is very pretty, and I have a lot of navy blue in my wardrobe, but I am concerned I’ll default to my black bags when looking for a dark colored bag.

Any recommendations or regrets if you bought one color or the other. I also love many of the colors with the canvas straps, but I hate the straps, and I think it would be tough to find another strap that worked.

I just got my first Alma, I think my 8th bag in total. A reseller had this BB in like new condition, how does it wear?

I have the same bag but in the Taupe/champagne colorway that was released at the same time. I haven’t worn it a ton just because I have other bags in rotation but it is one of my favorites. I use it typically hand held as a go out to dinner bag. The handles, the leather, the base, all look good as new. The vernis leather is so beautiful. You will get a lot of compliments on it.

Does anyone actually use an organizer in their alma bb? debating on a samorga to protect the lining but not sure if it’s necessary

I personally do not. I feel the alma is structured enough on its own. As far as the inside is concerned, I don’t want the organizer taking up precious space. It is a very wide opening so finding things is not a problem. Sometimes I throw in a cosmetic bag and or the toiletry 15 if need be. But overall, my slgs on their own provide enough organization for me.
