How I got the Alma PM to work for me! | Bags4Bubbles

I've been going back and forth about that the Louis Vuitton Alma PM and finally found a solution that made it work a lot better for me! I prefer bags with silver hardware a lot of time, so I wanted to give it one last chance and happily found that it worked better this time! This is the Alma PM in Epi Leather and I've had it in my collection for quite some time. It's great to give it a new lease on usefulness!

Thanks for sharing your video ❤ I have the Alma Epi blue and monogram PM. It’s my go to. I’m glad you kept your beautiful black Epi Alma. Beautiful and classic ❤️

[@InqSheen]

Can you do some modelling shots please of how your Alma PM looks like with the shoulder strap? I'm debating if I shoud get the Alma PM with the shoulder strap or just go with the Alma BB. Thank you

[@npm2000]

So glad you are back on bags4bubbles

[@Bags4Bubbles]

+npm2000 Thanks!! Happy to be back! ♥

[@ellew8519]

Great video. I have an Alma MM in DE and have been questioning whether or not I should keep it (I'm more into slouchy/casual type bags). I find a bag charm definitely makes it more casual - it is a lovely bag but not very user friendly with kids when using as a hand carry!!

[@ireneveraperez]

This is my same current situation! I have a DE Alma MM but I just never reach for it. What did you end up doing?

[@AJHappyheart]

Great to see you doing these kind of videos again Di. The alma is a great bag and I especially love it in the black epi leather, enjoyed watching!

[@Bags4Bubbles]

+AJHappyheart Thanks so much!! ♥ I'm happy to be back!

[@GeorgiesMom723]

Your handbag videos are my favorite! I'm glad that you found a way to make the Alma to work for you! 👜👝👛

[@Bags4Bubbles]

+ABGP 11 Thanks so much!! ♥

[@arentUlovely]

Glad you got the Alma to work for you. Happy New Year!

[@Bags4Bubbles]

+arentUlovely Happy New Year! ♥

[@joiviolette5978]

I totally know what you mean Di about a change in hand bags. I have alot of Vera Bradley totes and large totes. They were awesome when the kids were smaller. Now...I love crossbody now so much. Also just a thick shoulder strap. I have some Couch and DB. I have some older back packs in DB. Before kids I loved a back pack look.. It's interesting to see how we can change with what's going on in life. I look forward to more bags...I love them!! Take care

[@Bags4Bubbles]

+Joi Violette Yep, as they get older our needs just change! Thanks for watching! :)

[@JustJennifer]

Yay!! SO glad you found a way to love the Alma!! I adore that hair color on you, also :)

[@Bags4Bubbles]

+Just Jennifer Thanks so much!! ♥ Happy New Year! :)

[@jilllewis4590]

Wonderful! So happy to see that it's working for you.

[@Bags4Bubbles]

+Jill Lewis Thanks!! ♥♥

[@TheOrganiclady]

Great idea. The darker hair and the bobbed style are perfect for you! And actually, black is a good color on you. Anyway, thanks for sharing and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

[@Bags4Bubbles]

+TheOrganiclady Thanks!! ♥ Happy New Year!

[@cindydean175]

Great to see you over here!! I look forward to watching more videos from you and Happy New Year!

[@rtblade4]

I am glad you did not get rid of the Alma!

[@Bags4Bubbles]

+rtblade4 Me too! ;)

Beautiful Epi Leather LV Alma

[@CapeCodBelle]

Would have liked to see you model your Alma as a crossbody. My goal for 2016 is to take better care of myself too!

[@Bags4Bubbles]

+CapeCodBelle I will work on some OOTD videos coming up! ♥

[@HowdyHandbags]

You look pretty! Nice bag! I like how you can buy extra straps for their bags. Hubby almost bought a wallet in that leather but went with a Brahmin wallet instead because it had more card slots and the price. LOL! I love Nordstrom! Cute puff accessory!

[@Bags4Bubbles]

+Deb Storybags Thanks!! :) Loving the puff and so happy to be living closer to Nordstrom again so I can just pop in when I want, lol! ♥

[@evaseidl1502]

Wow i never noticed that the pm size has epi leather on the bottom!! I have the bb which has smooth leather

[@gatorblue11]

Welcome back!!!

[@Bags4Bubbles]

+gatorblue11 Thanks!! :) Happy to be back!

[@oOaphroditeOo]

Hi, Do you still have this bag? Is the use of the strap bad for the bag in any way?

[@pink2paris]

Great video, Di!! I'm still resisting cross body but it's nice to know that it makes a big difference. Have a happy 2016!! :)

[@Bags4Bubbles]

+pink2paris It does!! Happy 2016 to you as well! :)

[@jhk826]

great and helpful video!!!

[@laurenwatson3955]

Okay I totally blame you for the fact that I've just ordered a new black bag and a cute puff! 🙈😂

[@Bags4Bubbles]

+Lauren Watson Haha!! I love it! ♥

[@MSpanders10]

Glad to hear you kept the lovely Alma.

[@Bags4Bubbles]

+MSpanders10 Thanks!! Enjoying it! ♥

[@1Mybosslady]

Can I use this trick for my epi speedy 25? Mine is vintage and 23 years old.

[@lisagraham1977]

love your haircut and hair color! looks so pretty on you!

[@Bags4Bubbles]

+Lisa Graham Thank you!! ♥

[@dsee8900]

I missed your bag videos!

[@Bags4Bubbles]

+D See Thanks! I missed making videos too! ♥ Looking forward to 2016 and more bag talk!

[@kennyshell7]

Are you still carrying this bag and are you happy with the solution? Thanks!

[@lynniesg3]

Thanks Di--love your channel👍👍😍😍

[@lynniesg3]

Sorry that I'm so dense, but how did you lengthen the strap..what strap did you purchase as an extra? Thanks

[@Bags4Bubbles]

+Lynn G The strap has a buckle in the middle of it and about 6 precut holes, so you can adjust the length that way. I did purchase it extra from louisvuitton.com - here's the link! us.louisvuitton.com/eng-us/products/adjustable-shoulder-strap-16-mm-epi-epi-000075#J60003

[@leo_lion_lv]

[@Bags4Bubbles]

+Jenn Lancaster Thanks!! Happy to be back! ♥

[@meredithpaige8393]

Did you buy the strap from Louis Vuitton?

[@Bags4Bubbles]

+Meredith Paige (nycmakeuplover1) Yes! It is the 16mm Epi strap and it comes in a variety of colors. You can order it online as well: us.louisvuitton.com/eng-us/products/adjustable-shoulder-strap-16-mm-epi-epi-000075#J60003

[@meredithpaige8393]

Thanks!!!

[@barbaramelville6110]

Love you're bag

[@Ankimbo]

Lol. so what did you get rid of? It sounds like not much at all.

[@Bags4Bubbles]

+ankimbo LOL! Everything that was in the "to get rid of" pile- went. ;) It was 7-8 bags, mainly Coach & Rebecca Minkoff, Kate Spade, etc. This bag was in the "maybe - something about it is saying don't send it off yet" and like in the case of this one... is working great now! ♥

[@Ankimbo]

+Bags4Bubbles I am not judging. Lol. If there is one bag I would not get rid of, it's that one.

[@RM-pl5po]

The Alma's have protective feet on the bottom....this does not

[@evaseidl1502]

rachel matos actually... The older styles dont.

[@alessia81ish67]

you look sooo chic!

[@Bags4Bubbles]

+Alessia m Thanks!! ♥♥

[@HauteLux]

The drumroll on this isn’t that exciting. 😂
