The Alma is a Ladys Who Lunch bag....got talked into one in 1994 when I went to buy the speedy 30 in Monogram (they were out /none in stock in the Denver Cherry Creek store) Bought the Alma instead ...it's just not a practical bag : ( Yours is a beautiful color but if you don't use it sell it!!!!
Totally agree - if I don’t use it I’ll definitely sell it. I love the color but I think I just haven’t found the right outfits yet. Or possibly it’s just not my style lol. Not sure yet. Funny how that happens - favorite color but not favorite style 🙃🩵
I had a pink one and I sold it because I didn’t use her either. I think for me it was the guitar strap that was too bulky for my liking for this particular bag. Also although the alma is a classic, having crossbody is a bit unflattering for me as it can stick out away from the body too much for my liking. I don’t know there was just something about this particular one that I just wouldn’t like. I still have the DE alma bb and that one I feel like I like more because the leather strap makes it look a bit more refined. But overall yea I agree with you and not reaching for it.
The epi seems really durable for the most part. I honestly am obsessed with LV canvas and the only reason I like the epi for this shape is because it’s more of a streamlined look for this particular bag. Plus I love pops of color! But yes, so many bags sitting on my shelves lol. Glad I’m not the only one!
It’s a gorgeous bag! The color is to die for. 😍😍 What I found with my Alma BB is that it’s more wearable for me with my outfits as a top handle. Since I prefer wearing my bags crossbody which is why I rarely wear my Alma BB but I love it and it’s staying in my collection. I think with a solid colored strap will make it more wearable for you. The length where it hits you crossbody is perfect.
Great advice, thank you! I do remember wearing it top handle last year a couple of times. I’m going to try for spring as well, and put it with pastel pinks 😌
I have the alma bb in damier ebene. I love it and wear it a lot. Even though I think it can be dressed up as a "ladies who lunch" bag, my style is very casual. I wear it both hand held and crossbody. Sometimes I even use it with my Marc Jacobs web guitar strap to make it a little sporty. I love it in your turquoise color and would wear it with jeans or even the outfit you have on in the vid. I find it to be very comfortable and it fits a lot for a mini bag.
New Sub here. Yeah, that bag is GORGEOUS. You have to wear it. You just have to. I hate LV with the guitar straps. They are so short and just impractical IMO.
You are not by yourself I have the Alma bb in damier ebene and I love the bag the way it smells the way the bag looks and it’s a carefree bag to carry but I don’t use it 🤯 I don’t know why 😅 and I can’t bring myself to sell the bag 🤦🏾♀️ i dont know if im too casual to carry the bag or its not my style I can’t quite put my finger on it but I definitely feel the same 🩵
Thank you for commenting this! This makes me feel much more sane, I thought I was losing my personal sense of style lol. Hopefully we’ll figure it out! 🥰🙏🩵
Yes! I’ve tried black with this bag and it did work well. Also wearing all /most one color dopamine dressing works with it (without the crossbody strap).

The guitar strap is quite bulky and cumbersome, but so pretty. I agree that a leather strap makes more sense!
I love the strap as the reason why I would buy it... that strap with the dianne LV bag would be great! 🎉❤
Yes!
I luv my alma...but only top handle
If feeling that also!
Most of my bags just sit and look pretty. I wish I had got the Epi alma over the canvas version.

Top handle only. Looks best when it’s paired with a dressier/girlier outfit.
👍🏻to each their own

💯🩵😊
I’d imagine if you sell at the right time in such an attractive color you could get a premium on this bag.
Possibly! I just can’t bring myself to do it just yet 😅🩵
I just dont like the fabric strap. If they came with leather strap I would have bought the epi alma
The fabric strap tends to make it more difficult to match with outfits, so I can see where you’re coming from!
I could have your bag if you don’t wear it anymore 😊 The bag deserves to be with someone who appreciated.
I’m not ready to sell yet, but thanks!
@@luxlindseylife I’m open for donation as well.
This is just my opinion I would use this bag between Easter and Labor Day but that’s just me.
Omg YES! I see this as a spring and summer bag for sure. Tysm, I’m going to try pairing with upcoming spring outfits now 🥰🩵🙏

I feel it will look great with black or white outfits
