Why we love it

Description & history

A Louis Vuitton Alma PM bag in Damier Ébène coated canvas · chocolate brown smooth leather handles and trim · red canvas interior · gold-tone hardware · double zip · padlock & keys · date code FL**** · year 2004 · 32 × 24 × 16 cm · grade B+.

Created in 1934 by Gaston-Louis Vuitton, the Alma takes its name from the Pont de l'Alma in Paris, whose structured lines and Art Deco elegance it echoes. Its distinctive, structured dome silhouette rests on codes that have become the model's signature: double rounded handles, a double zip running from end to end, and a padlock. It is one of the house's most classic and ladylike bags — an object that transcends eras without ever going out of style.

This Damier Ébène version opts for understated chic: the deep brown check, paired with chocolate brown smooth leather handles and trim, creates a sleek and refined whole. On opening, the red canvas interior is revealed — this vibrant lining, characteristic of the Damier Ébène line, adds a touch of colour that is as unexpected as it is elegant. Renowned for its durability, the coated canvas makes this bag as practical for everyday use as it is pleasant to carry.

Good overall condition, grade B+ — clean, well-maintained and stain-free Damier canvas, handles and tabs in good condition, slight rubbing on the corners, gold-tone hardware in good condition, clean and odour-free interior with slight signs of previous use, no major flaws. Sold with padlock and keys, Louis Vuitton dustbag and RARR Vintage certificate of authenticity.
