Thank you for your advice. I'm still considering if I want to keep the bag or not. It's kinda sad because I actually love this color. The thing is, there are not many available anymore in Europe. I checked some availability in some LV boutiques in Europe and it's only avaliable in like 4 or 5 boutiques (0 in Italy). I'm afraid if I exchange it again with another rose ballerine (the SA will order for me), there will be another defect since I can't inspect the bag in person :sad: So, I'm thinking to return the bag for an account credit and buy the one in rose trianon which I guess is available in many boutiques right now :')

The Alma bb is a beautiful purse but I agree with @J9Fell4Tiffanys. I wouldn't want a bag from the boutique with scratches on it.
Good luck with your decision :heart:

I was instantly attracted to the gold hardware which is rare for the Epi leather range hehe.

Pls update us on this, yes i agree u shud be insisting on a perfect bag with the price they r asking us to pay, not with wonky stitches, scratch and dents all over the bag, I bought mine in store n I did check the bag thoroughly before agreeing on a perfect one , there was one bag I saw with scratches, creases n dents all over the bag, but somehow it is still up for sale :shocked:I wonder who will buy tht from them, if u cant find a new one anymore might as well go for the second hand route with less price to pay:amuse:

Late to the BB, but was wondering which do most BB lovers prefer, the DE canvas or Epi leather? Wondering about ease of use and if one was stiffer than the other with regards to getting in the bag.

I’m sorry, I know this is not helpful at all but I really can’t pick one :) I have the DE and black epi and imo, both are equally durable. Surprisingly, I don’t feel like the epi is stiffer than the DE. Maybe I just don’t notice it since the bag is meant to be structured. I love both very much. I do keep it open to make it easier to get things in and out.

Gorgeous bag! Hows the bag holding up? Seems like the bag is out of stock everywhere really.

Hihi, I've only had the bag for a month and used it barely 5 times but I think it should hold up well since it is well structured.
The strap is slightly longer than I would have preferred so I prefer to use it handheld.
Very happy to own this bag overall.
I havent gotten anything from LV for over 10yr haha
