LV x YK Alma BB Replica Bag, Monogram Faces Print M46428

A Faces print worked into Monogram coated canvas with embroidery is what puts this Alma BB in the Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama collection. Reference M46428, with the LV x YK signature inside and a printed textile lining that carries the theme through to the interior.

• Double zipped closure with a padlock, plus a key bell at the handles.
• An inside flat pocket, and four protective metal base studs so it can be set down.
• The strap is removable but not adjustable, with a 56 cm — 22 inch — drop.
• Two single top handles, and natural cowhide leather trim that darkens with wear.
• Gold-colour hardware throughout.

The Alma's rigid, domed shape is the reason an artist print works on it: the panels are flat and large enough to read as a canvas rather than as a pattern that has been wrapped around something. Old Cobbler carries the Kusama editions beside the standard Alma so the difference is visible at one size. Held by the handles it is formal; on the fixed-length strap it drops to the hip and loosens up.
