Louis Vuitton Prune Ostrich Alma PM Bag
Pristine Condition

The Louis Vuitton Alma has a unique and captivating history. It is said that Coco Chanel carried only one bag that was not her own design, and it was supposedly the shape of an Alma, custom designed by Vuitton himself. Before becoming a staple in the Louis Vuitton permanent collection, the Alma started out as the Squire Bag in 1934, before being slightly redesigned into the Champs-Elysees Bag. Its final shift was into the famed Alma Bag, named after the square where Avenue Montaigne meets the Seine. Its design is deeply rooted in the combination of structure and utility with grace and Art Deco architectural lines. This rich history, in turn, gives the Alma everlasting modernity as we see in so many recycled designs from the past. Ostrich is a rare medium from Louis Vuitton, and it is absolutely breathtaking in this color and shape. Stay ahead of the fashion game with this Alma PM! This bag is done in prune ostrich with a two hundred and seventy degree zip closure for easy access. This bag features two matching rolled top handles, gold hardware, and a lock and a clochette. The interior is done in matching leather and features two slip pockets.

This bag is in Pristine Condition. There are no signs of wear. LV dustbag, care card, and original tags included.
