Louis Vuitton Alma BB Wear & Tear | Minks4All

[@Minks4All]

Hi Babes ♥️ I hope this video was helpful :) Still love this bag as much as I did on day 1 😍 Thanks for watching!

[@jacquinguyen4108]

Hi Minnie! Do you still have this Alma BB? I’m seriously looking to get it. Thank you for the honest review! ♥️♥️♥️

[@IlyasCt-s4l]

Come across this video randomly and I watched LYXBAGS . OMG your closet is every women’s dream! Love your voice and the way you talk

[@evadudasova7676]

I got Alma BB last year in October, I’ve been chasing it around Europe for a few months, finally found one last in DE in smallest boutique in Milan. Love it since then, very carefree and still looks new :)

[@microporetape]

Just want to share something..I used my Alma BB recently with my Speedy B strap (without the middle part) and I fell in LOVE again head over heels! It feels like having a whole new bag! It’s easier to carry and I’m not getting paranoid that my Alma will bump into things.

[@summ3rnightfashion521]

I like that you go into so much depth in each of your videos. They’re always so informative 😉

[@KadowSieve]

Loved everything you’ve showed here! I was really surprised about the LYXBAGS crossbody. Love it!

[@mycorreia]

Great video 👍 I’ve had the Alma bb DE since 2013. The leather strap will definitely stretch and become longer with wear. Mine is also lovely and soft now. It has no cracking or peeling, it’s just a bit longer now that it’s not as stiff . My zipper is still as smooth as the day I bought it. I have noticed the newer Alma bbs have stiff zippers! You have to ask the SA to let you see about 4 of them in order to get one that’s smooth. There are no wrinkles on my handles or any peeling. I can only hope LV is making these bags in the same quality as they did when I bought mine.

[@Doc_Mitch]

Yvonne Fernandes The leather finish on the DE is not as shiny as before, it is more like matte finish. I’m thinking of getting the Epi instead.

[@LashDr]

OF COURSE you have this bag and have a video 😍 My chase is about to begin for this bag in the preloved market but I was iffy as to whether I should get it in the DE or Monogram because I already have a Speedy 25 in DE. I didn’t want to be overkill with the same print but I don’t want to worry about uneven patina.

[@IsaakZsk]

the LYXBAG would be super cute during the fall with a nude or tan or even tonal outfit! i’m thinking a tan wool coat with that bag!!

[@viktoriajansson4878]

Loved this video! I've recently bought my first ever LV piece and I'm happy that I went with the neverfull but still I can't stop thinking about the alma bb...after this video I know that I have to have it. 😍

[@mindbodysoul8214]

I've always loved the Alma bag. To me she's such an Icon. I remember while in Asia I'd seen this bag...wasn't interested in purchasing one, but surely thought it was so beautiful. It has been on my list for awhile. Love the in-depth review too...TFS so much Minnie. XOXO

[@tashahartman38]

Love the Alma B.B. thinking of adding it to my collection but in the noir. I need a black bag and thought this bag is really nice in that print.. great video as always 💖

[@leo_lion_lv]

I really love this alma bb. So tempting :) Have a great day ♥

[@leslieagnew385]

Thank you Minnie. I always learn a tidbit or two when I watch your videos! It helps to know that others are experiencing the same issues/concerns with their bags. My DE B 25 lock showed tarnishing a couple of weeks after I brought it home so I polish it up every so often.

[@blondesided3498]

Love the Alma BB- I have one in Denim Epi and it’s one of my favorite cross body bags. It’s so chic in DE. Thanks for the informative update 💕

[@slv1983]

The Alma BB is such a cutie. Happy Thursday Minnie. ❤️

[@annettewhite9297]

I just go my Alma bb it’s beautiful my strap have 8 hole!!! to make adjustment I love your Alma bb it’s an LV handbag that will last a lifetime and it appriciate in value thanknyiu for sharing

[@milana1818]

Hi Minnie, could you please do a video on how you rotate your bags?

[@KK-wf8zu]

I would keep the zippers and lock situated on top of the bag to prevent jiggling and tarnish if I owned one☺️(It’s now Jan and I now own one can’t wait to pick her up from store!!)💕

[@corikay]

Thank you so much for such a great video! I recently ordered this bag (have not received it yet) to use as my everyday carry. I live in a rainy area, and decided to downsize to a smaller bag in ebene for the worry free aspect of it. I intend to love it and use it! Thanks again!

[@Rwissam1987]

How is your alma bb wearing so far?

[@suzannehall5200]

If the wear on your hardware is tarnishing, as opposed to chipping or scratching, it is very easy to clean. Here in Melbourne we have very humid summers and I fight a constant battle with tarnishing on handbags and some jewellery. If you rub over it with a gold jewellery cleaning cloth it will come off very easily and look all shiny and new again.

[@BrendaDon]

This does not relate to the video, but I LOOOVVVE the way you speak. You speak so clear and crisp.

[@pjeames3334]

Minnie you can buy Parafin Wax at the grocery store and wax the zipper yourself. I do all my LV zippers, it works like a charm 👍🏻😆

[@haguiah.500]

After I bought my YSL bag, and Chanel not having the rectangular mini in lambskin in stock, my husband suggested we go in the LV store in Venice. I never wanted anything from LV but I have seen your video on the Alma BB so I had the SA show me 3 different ones. I was surprised at how small it was but when I put it on, I fell in love. It was the only bag that I liked and so I got it also in DE. I’ve had it for a month and still love it. Thanks Minnie! I have my eyes on the Neonoe in pink pudre, if the dang Chanel mini is still an elusive unicorn.

[@TheBeautyNovel]

Guia H. when i bought mine, i had only seen it on the internet and first time i saw it in store i went „oh, that really is tiny“ haha for some reason it looks bigger on photos but i ended up loving the size

[@haguiah.500]

Julia Noëlle Haha! I know!😊 I thought it was the nano, but nope. The Alma BB looks deceivingly bigger in pictures, even videos! But I love it on, just the perfect crossbody size👍🏼

[@TheBeautyNovel]

Guia H. i know right? so weird. but it‘s such a good size, fits everything i need on a day to day basis

[@alliahmac]

Great review Minnie...I wanted the Alma for my first LV bag but the Speedy stole my 💜. I've heard others mention wax paper to help with the zipper. Take care 😘

[@Susan.K-v2u]

Yay Minnie is in da house. Love listening to all of your advises. The good and the bad. Happy Woman's Day to you gorgeous

[@justme8837]

Such a darling little bag that I must have some day! Thank you for the video Miny, have a great rest of your week!

[@hx37793]

Your hands are lovely 😊 Great video ! It has been very helpful !

[@LuxuriousLover]

My favorite bag so far!! 😊 Great video and very informative 👍🏻❤️

[@fogbreads5682]

Great review. I want this bag but am waiting for LV to release it in a color that makes my heart sing! Thank you Minnie!

[@chonaemotera3304]

Your wear and tear video made me I think I need this in my collection! 🤣

[@katemirkin8734]

Minnie, where is your sweater from? You wore it in your videos before and every time I see it I wonder where is it from. It looks so cozy and the color is gorgeous.

[@nayelley]

Glad you uploaded this video because I have a question. So I purchased the damier ebene alma BB in Paris last summer. Beautiful bag BUTTT...One day I saw a tear where the handle of the LV tag is and it broke my heart. I figured it rubbed against the leather too much and maybe that’s why 🤷🏻‍♀️. So much money on an LV and I already had a tear a few weeks in. Do you know if it can be fixed, the leather? The tear has gotten a little bigger and it upsets me knowing it cost so much. HELP

[@lydiaa9594]

Nayelley lv has two years guarantee. You can take it to the store and I think they'll fix it

[@gpaige_95]

Can you do a review on the Speedy 25 with a strap? I’m thinking of getting an Alma BB or the Speedy 25

[@sophieashmore1204]

Great video! How do you know which is the front side and back side of this bag?😊

[@roseandchaivlogs3518]

Got the same bag. Love it sooo much :)

[@TheBeautyNovel]

I've also done a wear & tear on the Alma BB over on my blog (thebeautynovel.blogspot.com) when I had it for 1,5 years.. honestly this bag holds up so well for the amount that I actually use it. I literally wore it every single day for a year straight and it's still in great condition!

[@JustineNashea]

Wanting to purchase this bad in the monogram since I have the favorite in the Damier Ebene and don’t want two cross bodies in the same print.... strongly considering it

[@thefongsong13]

Hey Minnie great review! I know you went over the wear and tear and if you had noticed torsion/twisting you would have mentioned it but I just wanted to ask. You said you mainly carry the bag by shoulder/crossbody strap. I know the detachable strap connects to opposite sides of the bag which can cause it to twist/lose its shape from the uneven distribution of the weight. Have you noticed any of that wear and tear? Or should I say, if you didn’t rotate your bags as well (because Your collect is GORGEOUS WHY WOULDNT YOU ROTATE SO OFTEN😘) could you foresee it as a potential wear and tear problem? Thanks!!!!!! I want to add it as my first luxury bag but that’s the one thing holding me back, I’d rotate it with my other kate spade and coach etc but I’d obviously want to wear it more since I want the cost per wear to be low :)

[@thefongsong13]

Great review otherwise! Love your videos. You have taught me so much about these luxury brands and have showed me this community of women who work hard and play hard for their luxury and break the stereotype of trophy wife (not that you aren’t beautiful, young and fabulous!) who just spends her husbands money and is above everyone else with her hand bags. Sorry I just wanted to leave this here because I thought your review was great and very in depth and I hope my question wasn’t raining on your parade of successful reviews. If that makes any sense... lol

[@SoLoveTiffany]

Hi would u recommend the alma bb or the speedy?

[@eveyschoice4785]

got mine in oct! used it for maximum 4 times and there is already wrinkling but it was there when i got it!!! going to LV soon again, to the store i got it and they will take a look at it to see if it is normal....

[@ecy1547]

This has been my grab and go purse

[@acho624]

Hi Minnie! This is really helpful because it is my #1 in 2018 wishlist! 😁 Thank you so much for all the information. Your video is always reliable and trustworthy! Quick question, I also live in Southern California. I do want this particular bag Made in france. But is it only luck to get mif by ordering online? Or do you ask your SA to find mif for you?

[@annacarlyle6732]

Happy international women’s day. Love your collection. Can I ask what socks you wear with your Chanel espadrilles, I haven’t found any decent ones in the UK but I’m coming to the US soon & wondered which ones u think r the best??

[@TheBeautyNovel]

Anna Carlyle i don‘t own a pair myself but i‘d wear them barefoot..

[@annacarlyle6732]

Julia Noëlle I don’t like to wear them barefoot for long periods of time as the leather insole gets ruined from sweat 🤢

[@mariyakim6030]

Hey gorgeous!🙋‍♀️💖 thank you for sharing your amazing piece hun..💖💖🌹🌹

[@happytrails699]

That is such a cute bag.

[@shahgi15]

Hi Alma bb thanks for the information i like it. You are so pretty ❤️❤️❤️ ❤️

[@valerievasilievas4038]

Great informative video, Minnie!

[@PeterEgger-g2g]

I miss your crazy self! Love the videos # COPYMAXY

[@brierobinson194]

Run Wax paper works on zipper. It will help tremendously bb

[@chonaemotera3304]

Hi Minnie! Just wondering if the alma bb could fit a chanel small zipped wallet? Thanks! 😄

[@premeyumlife443]

Thanks for sharing ur bag with us smiley! ❤️👍🏻😘😘😘Sandy

[@moussyfab143]

love this bag☺️😘❤️

[@sristisingh9648]

I love this bag but feels is it outdated now in style ? Thanks

[@MeticulousShopper]

How do you feel about the Coach Sierra Satchel compared to this bag?

[@Cherayeslifestyle]

Thanks for the review, I agree the zipper can be a tad bit more smoother maybe I should take it in.

[@junebug9224]

Thanks for a great review!! ❤️😘

[@soniva1252]

Minnie I don’t know if I should get this or a favourite MM.

[@Rachel-su3ir]

I think this bag will be perfect for me because all I carry is my wallet and phone.

[@tatig8419]

Thank you for the video and review!❤️

[@EugenieZhan]

Minnie!! Thanks for this video, I have a serious question. I also have an Alma bb that I’ve owned for about 1 year which I use not that much maybe on special occasions. I’ve noticed that where the handles on the side that faces the bag it has a little hole that is a crack or rubbed off leather, maybe from rubbing the buttons or the handle attachments. Does yours have that too? Thankyou!! Xxx

[@andreacamarano]

Hi Minnie! Could you tell me how long does the strap measure ? Thank you! 😘

[@Goldnndrkness]

really wish damier ebene came in a different interior color cause red doesn't make my heart sing.

[@lucylu8026]

silly question but can a water bottle fit on the bottom? Like a regular poland spring bottle. thanks :)

[@daisyt6276]

does the red colour inside fades in the long run

[@jacquelineperez2101]

Is the tarnishing on the feet normal wear and tear? My SA told me its not supposed to tarnish, but I guess they are just saying that? Idk. Pls. Help! 😢

[@dmlkcs8620]

Happy Thursday Minnie! 😘 Inside pocket used for ticket stubs... what kind of ticket stubs dear 🤣❤️🤣

[@buckeye7192]

I bought an Alma PM pre-loved from FASHIONPHILE. It was in very good condition except for the zipper being stiff and catching all the time. It has nor improved at all, actually getting worse. Since I purchased the bag from Fashionphile, do you think that Vuitton would help me by waxing the zipper? Or will they fix any LV bad for a fee?

[@tikakou92]

I love the alma but have been eyeing the vernis amarante , do you have and experience with vernis ? Is it worth it ?

[@sheenarosea94]

I’m going on a European vacay in the winter! Would you recommend this bag? I wanted a smaller bag since we’re gonna be traveling! Thank you!

[@_KLP_K]

Hello- do you know if a large agenda will fit in the Alma PM? Thx!!

[@brirychalsky]

I love mine!!!!

[@gretchelzamora346]

Great review thanks!!

[@jud9227]

Thanks Minnie! That a cute bag, one of my fav after speedy b 25 :) Can you help me how many bags that you “need” for a period?? I love speedys and I ve got many of...but I realized that I don’t need so much after a neverfull MM exampel... Thanks a lot!! 😍❤️😁

[@edsv9594]

When you first got the bag, have you noticed that the handles dont align like you cant stand the handle easily? Thanks!

[@cutiepie21_88]

Do you have scratches on the handle hardware?

[@mare8708]

my coating on my NF MM has rubbed off some on the handles.

[@sandistroud7305]

Great video. Have a great International Women’s Day.

[@kima1194]

Hi, I just bought mine 10 days ago from LV Las Vegas (Made in France). I noticed that the leather trim and handles are matte, I noticed that yours is shiny. I’m wondering if you’ve heard about this. Thank you.

[@barkafaqi8950]

Kim A the shiny ones are old ones , the matte one is the new updates one x

[@NC_GiGi]

Where was your Alma made?

[@chistinepine1486]

Can you clean the tarnish off of the gold hardware ?

[@cocobonvon81]

Wait why don’t you have to worry about water stains?

[@vgs86]

How long is the strap from hardware to hardware?

[@tristanjvargas]

Is that an XL size RRT heart (necklace)?

[@mleigh7595]

Is tradesy a repuatable pre loved site?

[@laurathomas194]

😍😍😍😍

[@lindzz3932]

Can this be worn crossbody

[@sasasiina]

Lindsey Tatum yes! But I wouldn’t recommend it only because it looks a little weird and as it is a structured bag you’ll be bumping into things a lot more
