Louis Vuitton Alma BB Replica Bag, Épi Grained M57426

Épi grained cowhide is a deep-dyed, textured leather, and on this Louis Vuitton Alma BB replica bag, reference M57426, it holds the domed Art Deco shape the line has kept since 1934. It measures 23.5 x 17.5 x 11.5 cm and carries the signature details: padlock, hand-stitched Toron handles, key bell.

• Double zip closure across the domed top.
• Silver-color hardware, which is the colder of the two finishes the Alma comes in.
• An inside flat pocket, over a microfiber lining.
• Four protective metal bottom studs, and smooth cowhide-leather trim.
• The strap is removable but not adjustable, with a 56 cm drop.

Épi's grain runs in one direction and catches light along it, so the leather reads as ribbed rather than flat — it is the finish that ages best of anything in the range. Old Cobbler carries the Alma in Épi, Damier and Monogram so the material is the only decision left after the size. Carried by the Toron handles it is upright and formal; on the strap it becomes a cross-body without changing shape.
