Bonsoir, I red in some threads of this forum that ALMA is a bag for old ladies. I don't think so. If you have one (mono, epi, MC...) why did you buy it ?
 
I think some people confuse "old lady" with classic.I love to see a young stylish girl with a lovely Alma.In Europe, I have seen old almas on young girls and think it looks wonderful.

I got my mom an Alma with my first "real" paycheck. I chose the Alma because I thought (*still do*) it's classy. She's not an "old lady" and she looks great carrying it

I would love to get one myself eventually.. :love:
 
I bought the Alma monogram ages ago and really did not like it. I did not like the way the zipper operns up the whole purse. I always was afraid I would loose something. I ended up giving it to my sister who loved it and used it for years.
 
I love the alma shape and would like to get one. Then I ll probably be an "old lady" with an alma and a baby! I think LV zips are good overall as I tried a zip on a burberry alma shape bag and it did not work as well as LV.
 
I have an orange epi alma. I got it because my orange epi speedy fell through, and that was the only orange purse they had. I think i kinda
"settled" but it keeps it shape really well, so i think its growing on me.
 
I was never interested in the alma before. I mean I like it, but never actually consider buying one for myself. Then, when I was on holiday in London I saw a couple of ladies with their mono almas, and I thought wow very stylish. They were wearing jeans, casual stuff, and I dunno, but something attracted me big time to their almas! I was so sure I wanted the mono but then I thought about the naked vachetta bottom and I changed to damier instead, same price, less worry, equally classic and stylish imo :idea:

I think the shape of the alma is a classic and will stand the test of time. There are going to be IT bags in the years to come, but the alma will stay, for good.

Actually, I'm still thinking about the mono alma till now. I wish I could keep the vachetta light and clean, but I think the "naked" bottom is going to be too much of a challenge for me to keep clean :amuse:
