My first luxury purchase was also at LV and also an ALMA BB Bag DAMIER EBENE...just like yours !!! Last week! :-) @45 years old... dreams always come true :-) Just a correction on your video: The Alma Bag was first made in 1925 (not 1910) for Chanel and until 1934 she didn’t give permission LV to produce it to other people. That’s why people could buy the Alma only from 1934 on ! ;-) also this bag initially was called Squire, then Champs Élysées and only then Alma, because of the Alma Bridge next to Louis Vuitton shop in Paris! It was the second handbag that LV produced, being the first one ever the Speedy!
Thanks so much for the info! Honestly still trying to learn about the brand! 😂 I hope you’ve enjoyed the bag as much as I have. It’s honestly such a great piece that always elevates any outfit I wear 👌🏻
I bought my first lv bag for my 40 years old birthday and the entire experience was just miserable! been sent a defect item, I went to the store and been refused refund or exchange, after I insist that's their policy, they finally agreed an exchange, but both the bag they showed to me was kind of bad quality( one with big rusted scratch on the hardware and another with horrible stitch on the leather piece) , I have no choice to take the one with horrible stitch and decided, regardless what my age will be, I will never buy another LV for my birthday anymore, because it ruined my only one "40" years old birthday!
Hey Jo! Congratulations on your first designer purchase! Im thinking of getting alma bb as my first designer bag too so thank you for this video! It really helps x
Beautiful!!!! My first handbag from LV was only a month ago and was also the Alma BB in damier ebene 😊❤ it’s such a beautiful bag, I hope you enjoy yours for many years
Congratulations on your first purchase darls!! I also grew up like you where my parents (especially mum) raised me to be humble and wise with money. Don't worry, I got my first lux bag for myself and with my own money at 28. Some people get into debt for lux and it's not worth it. Anyway, I'm also planning to get this exact bag next and I've done heaps of research/ youtube searches lol so thanks for the wonderful/ humble review 😊🥰❤xoxo
Great video. Just a side note- the Alma was introduced in 1934. I just purchased this bag and am waiting on it to arrive. Very excited. It’s not my first piece, but I wish I would have purchased this sooner. Such a great piece and will continue to go up in value. ❤
@@ayc1997 it can it can be awkward and a bit cumbersome accessing you items.use a catch all and card case to make it easier. Or you could be holding up the line messing this bag. I usually switch to my nylon Prada bucket bag when running errands and I have to get in and out of my back often
Congrats on your first luxury purchase. Mine was years ago when the pochette accessories was really popular. I got the monogram and the Damier Ebene. Kudos to your hubby!!!
Congratulations. I have the same bag. I love it. It can be dressed up and down. I love the fact that I can pass down this handbag to my daughter in the long run or my grandkids
I got my first luxury handbag at 31 so I’m with you girl 🎉 excited for you, I filmed my first luxury unboxing a couple weeks ago and I’m so happy with it 💁🏾♀️
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have the LYXBAG as my travel bag and not have to take care of it. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
I’m about a size 2-6 honestly depending on the brand and style of clothes and run from size S or M. Bag honestly goes with everything so you won’t regret it! 😉
I love the Alma BB I’m so happy you choose the DE care free and is gonna be new longer time. Is wonky yes can you organize your items inside different is wonky because you place your items wrong
I honestly recommend to get it when you’re 100% ready and sure. It is a lot of $$$ and it’s best to be in love with the bag. Also helps if you know it’ll match a lot of the outfits in your wardrobe so you can get the most wear out of it. I personally love it👌🏻🥰
I am thinking yo buy this bag.. that's why i search Vidio over lv Alma BB.. i fond u . Nice video.. i think i wil buy it . I Just think right moment. Thanks for share your experience
i grew up poor n had no real desires when i got my salary. but something switched at age 30 so i got me some LV . we shouldnlt feel guilty if we work hard for our money and are financially able tos upport it
Many really wealthy people I know care less about the social implications of buying fakes. Plus, they might look down on "hillbillies" who spend so much money on a ridiculously overpriced bag. With luxury brands once again raising prices and limiting inventory, the replica version of LYXBAG is even more attractive.
I am 5’2” and it sits perfectly at my hip. It might just sit a little lower on you, but I highly recommend to try it in person at the store to make sure. Again, these bags are so expensive so make sure you get something you’re 100% in love with 😊 and if ever, LV does sell the strap by itself and they have an adjustable version if you’re willing to spend the extra cash 😅
kay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the HIDUPZ book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations

I "loved" this video!! You are so sweet and sensible! Great purchase.
Thank you so much! That means so much ❤️
Such a lovely handbag! DE is a great option, it is subtle, classy and versatile 😊 Congratulations! ❤️
My first designer bag was my Gucci Marmont in black (it's my babbyy). I'm now looking to get the Alma BB. Lovely video Jo!
Thank you 🥰
I just bought one last week..i.went classic with the alma bb too. Yes dont overfill to prevent that wave on the zipper
Can you fit an mini iPad in this? Or the big agenda?
Can you share if the zipper will scratch your hands as you reach in and out of the bag?

Beautiful bag! I am waiting for my Alma bb DE to arrive 😅 I just subbed! 😍🤗
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do ❤️
Love your video 💕
Could I ask you your size and clothing size so I can have an idea of the fit/drop of the bag. Looking into purchasing it thanks
I’m about a size 2-6 honestly depending on the brand and style of clothes and run from size S or M. Bag honestly goes with everything so you won’t regret it! 😉
You’re so cute Jonah! I have the same bag ❤️
I'm waiting for my one to be delivered! Fully watched your video, new friend here from Australia.
Can’t wait to get mine🥰🥰
I hope you’ll love it just as much! ❤️
I love the Alma BB I’m so happy you choose the DE care free and is gonna be new longer time.

Nice video.. i think i wil buy it . I Just think right moment. Thanks for share your experience
Hi there, congrats to your new alma bb, such a beauty. New friend, stay in touch.
My collection is also LV bag Alma and Vernis.
did you ask for the stamp in store? Because i really want to get my initials on it when i buy it for my birthday !
Yes! They hot stamp it at the store upon purchase. If ever you don’t do it then, I believe you can come back at a later time and it’s free 😊
Does your bag have the date code or it is with the new chip?
I believe mine is still with the date code. Didn’t know they did chips now! 😱
i grew up poor n had no real desires when i got my salary. but something switched at age 30 so i got me some LV . we shouldnlt feel guilty if we work hard for our money and are financially able tos upport it
Absolutely agree! If we work hard, there’s nothing bad about treating ourselves! 👌🏻😊

Is it too long for a 5 ft person lol
I am 5’2” and it sits perfectly at my hip. It might just sit a little lower on you, but I highly recommend to try it in person at the store to make sure.
