Gorgeous trio! Which one do you grab the most?

Thank you :smile:. I have had the DE for less than 2 months and the other two for less than 2 years — I use the pink one the most since I love pink :lol: and it’s the most understated (and safest TBH. Here in the US, more lux logo bags have been targeted since the pandemic so it’s just easier with it).

The pink Alma bb is very pretty. I also feel more comfortable carrying more understated bags these days.
 
I’m new to the alma club, and new to the LV club too! The alma in steel blue is my first ever luxury bag and I love her so much! Not to be a bad influence to anyone on the fence, of course. :angel: The color really is a steel blue, not teal like the website picture shows. It can be more grey-blue or more true blue depending on the lighting.

Welcome! What a gorgeous bag!! Just like a speedy, you can’t just have one, believe me. LOL

This bag is so gorgeous — I tried it on at the store and wished I weren’t on a bag ban currently. Big congrats on your first luxury bag.
 
I've never been into LV because all I known was the logo-all-over bags and the DE canvas bags. When I was in my teens I saw all the girls in high school carrying a fake one. That's why I was never drawed to LV.
Since two years I discovered that LV also has all-leather bags, and I just love them!

I got the Alma BB in black for almost 2 years now and it's my favorite bag! I love how understated it is. If I would carry a bag with logo's or a very recognizable design (in my environment), I would get questions asked all the time, like: "Is it real (designer)?", "Where did you bought it?", "How much did it cost?" etc. And with this bag I wear something high quality and expensive without anyone noticing. Just love it! To make it even more understated, I don't wear the clochette and lock on it.
Especially in these times of economic downturn, I just don't feel comfortable to flex with visibly expensive things and rather keep things stealth.

My Alma is also holding up very well. I carry it with me almost every day and I'm not taking very good care of it. It still looks like it's almost new. :heart:
To me the Alma BB in Epi leather is the perfect small IYKYK-bag.

Hello fellow Alma bb lovers! Any thoughts on the new DE with the braided handle? I was initially sort of hmm about it but the more I look at it the more I find it super cute. But then again, I worry if that handle could get dirty quickly / be uncomfortable? Does anyone have the DA version from last year? If so, how is it holding up? TTIA :)

Is anyone NOT a fan of the Jacquard strap? or am I the only one that personally prefers the classic epi leather long strap.

With that said, I'm looking to purchase an Alma bb soon (maybe this Spring) in a pop of color. I only see Noir and Indigo with the long leather strap. Does anyone know if they will be bringing the leather straps back for Spring, or just moving forward with the guitar straps?

Another option, I could purchase a leather strap from Mcraft...
