I just got mine delivered this week and the zipper is pretty smooth. May get better in time, but if it bothers you I would definitely take it in after lockdown x
These bags are for travel or going errands. They are not meant to wear on dinner date or red carpet. Gucci, LV are known since the beginning of their career to making suitcase and travel bags. The reason the zipper is stiff and a bit hard to slide, and specially noisy if you notice is to protect your belongings from being stolen. In Europe if you are a tourist or look wealthy, you are the Target of pickpockets. You may own many LV bags but you never been in Europe to know why these designers, specifically LV and Gucci most their zipped bags are noisy and stiff. You got to use both hand to zip. The specific reason is to prevent people to get their hands inside your bag and it's impossible when the zipper is noisy. If you ever have a chance to go to Europe, any country there, remember what I said and be alert. The bag may save your wallet from being disappeared without a warning. The next time you buy a LV or a Gucci ophidia, get the noisy and hard to zip as the best one. The smooth and quiet one is a defective, and no good to protect you from pickpocketing. I am serious 💕
I love mine! The zipper gets better over time. I always use both hands. The zippers balance each other out. On a busy day, I keep it unzipped at the top and close it when I won't be in it for awhile. Njoy! Thanks for your review!
I got my Alma in July and my zipper is not smooth either. I used wax paper and it made it very smooth, no damage but it was only temporary. I might talk to LV about it too
I went back and changed my first Alma BB after a week when I saw the zipper was really rough. So I went to Bondi Junction and changed it. They didn’t have any in stock to exchange so that agreed to return my money. I bought another one in 2 weeks time and the zipper for this one was just perfect! Trust me go and change otherwise it will keep on bugging you
Sanjida Abdullah thanks for letting me know! I’ll definitely go and tell them, when they told you they were sold out couldn’t they order it in for you?
It’s a faulty zipper. I’ve had my Alma bb for 6 years and the zipper is so smooth. Recently I went to buy another Alma bb but I had to ask the SA to bring me out 4 Alma bb’s before I found one with the smoothest zipper. LV quality has definitely gone down. You should get your bag exchanged regardless if you’ve worn it or not. It’s too expensive for the zipper to be like that. Good luck babe x
thank you for your comment! I asked the sales assistant at louis vuitton recently and she said the zipper isn't faulty and that they are usually stiff when you first buy them
I hope the zipper gets better with time because my Alma is two weeks new and it’s driving me nuts 🤦🏾♀️ I really love the bag she’s definitely staying but yeah zipper is playing with my emotions
I recommend go for it is super cute you never gonna regretted. This is one the best purchase I did from LV . I recommend go it on Damier ebene, care free.
It's a great bag, congrats! :) Piece of advice - be careful with the padlock where you placed it - it can end up tarnishing the hardware (same as if it was attached to the zipper, so many people just leave the padlock)
Hi, hope everything is well with you. I just want to ask if that is the smallest size of alma because its actually looks bigger. Anyway, always keep safe. Btw, i like you video though. 😊
Rudolf Nemeth the zipper should be smooth. My SA told me that. If a zipper starts off bad, it will get worse with time, not better. I’ve been buying LV bags since the mid 90s and can confirm the quality of the zippers back then were flawless, unlike now, sadly.
@@mycorreia The first thing people eventually end up bringing in for repairs are zippers because they lose grip. This is an Alma, and has a narrow high curve, it's going to be tighter at first.
Hihi love!! This is such a beautiful bag... ans loving the Alma BB in particular the Damier ebene! Love the lock on the outside! TFs and i have subbed love your content! Hope you link back dear! 😉
I bought my alma bb back in February and I love it!! It is so beautiful and easy to style!
I guess it is pretty randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to watch newly released movies online?
@Franco Brecken i dunno try flixportal. you can find it thru google:P -shepard
@Shepard Anders Thank you, I signed up and it seems to work =) Appreciate it!!
@Franco Brecken You are welcome xD
you can also use wax paper just along the zippers to make it smoother. ive done that with my LV items.
you’re style is so nice, truly a beauty.
I just got mine delivered this week and the zipper is pretty smooth. May get better in time, but if it bothers you I would definitely take it in after lockdown x
Lois Samantha oh wow I should go back then! it’s probably the bag itself
I bought mine today! And I’m so happy and proud!!!!
only the handles, the bottom brown part and the strap are (treated) leather, the body of the bag is canvas, which is why it does not (easily) scratch.

Congratulations dear. It is very beautiful bag. Very happy for you. I feel regret to sold mine. Thank You so much for sharing darling

I find it interesting that you spent 1900 on a bag that you didn't even know what the material was hahaha
I’ve had this bag for a year and I love it! 😍
LaToya B same its my favourite 😭
You'll never regret purchasing this bag just love 💕
You can rub wax paper on the zippers and that may help! It's helped on my other bags! Congrats on the new bag!
Mikey Chang thank you 😘😘

Sanjida Abdullah great advice. I did the same. Poor zippers which don’t function properly when they are new are only going to get worse with time.
Alma bb is one of lv handbag must haves ❤️! Great buy! 💕
I got the same purse for Valentines. Loved it sooooo much.
I love this bag. Its so cute.
Love this bag! Please don't store it in the box though because the canvas can crack over time from being stored in a box.
My bag was the same way at first. It took around 2 months for it to get smooth. Its my everyday bag I love it.
I bought it today it’s my favourite bag 😻❤️
Literally just got the notification they’re back in stock online in the U.K. went straight on and got it yayyy! 😊 Happy, healthy 2021 everyone 💕
Planning to buy this also. Thanks for this! 🥰 Cant wait to have mine
I want this bag so bad but it's still out of stock. Thank you for this video!

Your zipper is just like my speedy 25, it’s so rough. I’m constantly having to put wax paper on it to get it smooth
The second outfit😍👌🏾
This bag is super cute but I am debating if I should get this size or medium.
I am 14 and have this bag and the noe bb and I love both xx
they're the cutest!
I just purchased it today! Can’t wait to receive it and inbox it!💕
This bag is stunning 😍 ✨
I want this so bad!!!!
Should I?
rub a wax paper. alma bb is a timeless bag. so cute and versatile. thanks for haring. just subbed.
I hope the zipper gets better with time because my Alma is two weeks new and it’s driving me nuts 🤦🏾♀️
I really love the bag she’s definitely staying but yeah zipper is playing with my emotions
The one thing I'm not heavy on is the price tag.... But would you recommend this bag ? Been thinking about buying it for a while
I recommend go for it is super cute you never gonna regretted. This is one the best purchase I did from LV . I recommend go it on Damier ebene, care free.
I have that problem with the zipper with my alma bb as well
Please share with me your lipstick. I love it
It's a great bag, congrats! :) Piece of advice - be careful with the padlock where you placed it - it can end up tarnishing the hardware (same as if it was attached to the zipper, so many people just leave the padlock)
thank you for letting me know ! Where are you meant to place the padlock?
Nariman I have a padlock for another LV bag and I just keep it in the little dustbag/pouch it came in at home :)
Hi, hope everything is well with you. I just want to ask if that is the smallest size of alma because its actually looks bigger. Anyway, always keep safe. Btw, i like you video though. 😊
Is the smallest size super cute and fits quite a lot depends if youa re big bag person you need to downsizing if not this is perfect
Around 1000 euro stuff. Not one of the best from LV but still a dream bag for many.
If I buy a LV Bag on the website, can I get it hot-stamped in the Louis Vuitton Store for Free?
Alejandra M. Yes they always offer free hot stamping you just have to go to the store x
What is a hot stamp
So how much did u pay for this? Did u got it from online or the store? I really love the bag 😍😍
aiyabebe thank you 💕I purchased it from the store and it was around 1900 but I checked the store online and the prices went up by abit!
Nariman are u in the USA? I just check it’s 1440 on the official website. I hope u didn’t over pay it
aiyabebe I live in Sydney Australia that’s probably why there’s a massive price difference 😬
I want this bag so so bad!!!! 😭😭😭❤️
I love mine súper cute bag enyoy
Louis Vuitton is known for their zippers that slide like butter. They should exchange it.
The zipper will smoothen over time. It's brand new so it will be hard. It's normal

Great video hun new here boo 💕
Will it cost extra for initials?
nashie1990 I don’t think it does
Seriously wish I got DE instead of monogram! I hate babying the Vachetta leather....
Are you the ‘show yourself in baggy clothes’ girl?
I wanna upgrade my bag... But nothing compares to my $10.00 bag from Collette!
Lol if you say so
Thank for this video 👍👍
That’s so weird why’s the alignment different on each side ? Like on the bottom. I’ve never seen one like that
It just your bag that does it but put Vaseline on the zip
how tall are u?
I have the same issue with the zipper 🤦🏻♀️
My zipper does that to on mine
Lol the bag is made of canvas not leather 😂😂😂
I think it is bad thing to buy such a bug like that
It's so fucking expensiv
