Alma

With its structured trapezoid body, rounded top handles, and signature zip-around closure, the Alma is one of Louis Vuitton's most architecturally distinctive bags, originally designed by Gaston-Louis Vuitton in the 1930s. It appears across Monogram canvas, textured Epi leather, and glossy Vernis, each lending a different character. The firm structure holds its shape beautifully, though Vernis examples warrant a close look for the color transfer this finish can attract.
