Joined the club this April after visiting the flagship store in Paris! :smile: I like this MIF bag and it fits just a perfect amount of things I need to carry. However, I have a small question to Alma BB DE owners, does anyone have this a bit uneven DE print alignment where canvas meets leather? if comparing left and right sides the difference is approx 1 mm. I am not planning to return it, especially if I can get something way worse as I read here hehe. just trying to accept that she is not perfect so maybe someone can calm my inner perfectionist down :amuse: thanks!

Congrats on your new beauty! How exciting to get her straight from Paris! :loveeyes::loveeyes:
Tbh I probably wouldn’t have even noticed anything if you haven’t pointed it out. On my journey towards finding an Alma bb in mono and de in a good quality, I’ve seen a lot with a much worse alignment. If it’s the only imperfection that you see, please don’t worry, just ignore it! Especially with Alma bb, an absolute perfect one just doesn’t exist imho and based on my experience - they all have some small imperfections.
Congrats and enjoy, my bag twin! :ghi5:

I am new to this bag, but oh my! I did Jump In! I ordered the Indigo from LV, and I love it! It will be great with jeans! I love this style so much, that I also found another pre-loved from 2016 in a gorgeous Fushia color! I don't know the exact color name, maybe someone here does, but I love it for the summer! She will have to compete with my DA Speedy 25, haha!

Congrats on your new Almas — very pretty, two great colors! This is currently my favorite style. It’s hard to tell from your picture but it’s possible the color of your bag is pivoine, not fuschia, as it appears a little lighter than fuschia in your pic (not sure if it looks darker in person). Yoogi’s has the following epi color chart and you can see the two colors are similar. I also included pictures from Fashionphile showing the difference between the two colors. I believe both colors were available in 2016. The inside lining of fuschia is a bit darker than pivoine. In any case, yours is a beauty so enjoy :)

Thank you so much @Iamminda! I appreciate you taking the time to sort this out! I believe you are spot on - from these I can tell that mine is on the lighter side than the Fuchsia! Definitely is looking like Pivoine. The lining is brighter also. I'll take another photo tomorrow when it's brighter out. Thank you! :happydance:

Yes. Close to fuschia, but not quite.
That's a handy color chart for epi.

Finally got round to picking up my Epi Alma bb. Previously owned one, but stupidly sold it because I was paranoid about scratching the base. This time round I seem to love it much more and I’m just going to use and enjoy. I love the silhouette of the Alma bb and how understated it looks.
Just want to add, I do still love the look of the empreinte neo alma bb too. I just felt with I would probably carry the Epi version more.
