I’ve got an Alma BB in red Epi. I’m 176cm tall and a size 14UK/10US. I’m a typical pear shaped body. I wear my Alma cross body most of times and never ever found it awkward or uncomfortable! surely, it sticks out a bit but never to a point where i’ve consider it annoying. I just love this bag! it’s so classic and versatile! Both your versions are gorgeous, Amelia! By the way, first time I comment, but I watch every single one of your videos and drool over your collection every single time 💕💕

[@deborahcurtis1385]

It's the angularity of the diamond shape and design on Amelia which doesn't work. And the black and white. too high contrast that echoes the angularity. JIMO

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thank you so much!

[@SchiavoniCasso]

Love *jklux* the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other KZbinr can show off bags in as much detail as you.

[@sandyjean-baptiste368]

Here's some tips that worked for me with my Alma BB...In regards to the strap I use me guitar strap from Marc Jacob and put it on my shoulder instead of trying to crossbody the bag, which looks more pleasing...I also clip the strap to sides of the hardware instead of using the clips, this allows for even distribution...as for the zipper I put the lock on side of the bag & leave the zipper stationary and only use one of the zippers to open & close the bag, which makes it easy to open & close with one hand...hope these tips were helpful 😉

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thank you so much!

[@Alina-dg4rb]

Is the zipper divided in the middle (at the handle) into two zippers or could you put both pull strings on one side of the bag and just open it by pulling on one of them .. like you would do on luggage?

[@CarolCreates]

Yes, 2 zippers. You can leave one zipper down and pull the other along the whole length of the bag to close. But, as I’ve posted in the main section, I leave each zip half way on each side - I never zip to the top. I prefer the bag to be left open at the top. It’s easier to get stuff in/out.

[@blktauna]

@@CarolCreates I never have the zips meet in the middle.

[@nat-qi6ou]

Yes, it can

[@ameliarosescloset]

I can try this thanks!

[@elsabarriga9537]

The alma bb is my absolute favorite all time LV bag style to this day. I own the damier ebene and five in the vernis leather which I prefer. I find them very comfortable to wear cross body and I usually have one of the zippers down one side so I don’t have to double zip at all. I owned two LV speedy B 25 for every day use which I found super bulky and annoying to wear cross body so I sold them and is why I bought the alma bb in the damier ebene. Fantastic every day bag in my opinion and sits perfectly and slim not bulky like the speedy. Love your channel and your orange alma nano. I have yet to check the nano’s out but haven’t because I own a few Balenciaga Ville XXS which have a very similar look. XOXO

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thank you!

[@lingscookingescapade]

Hun…don’t zip both zips in the middle. I zip it all the way to one side so it’s easier to open with one hand. Also I wear my Alma with the handles up,definitely not down. Sorry to say, i cant’t lie the Alma Nano looks really hideous on us, it’s more suitable for girls in their teens. The proportion of the bag and the width of the strap doesn’t seem right. I love all my Alma BBs, I don’t find any of the issues you mentioned is a con for me😉

[@MissTiffee619]

Interesting. I’m always surprised when people zip it all around. It’s seems like more work to me. I zip both up to the middle.

[@lingscookingescapade]

@@MissTiffee619 Just zip around 2/3, not all the way down. It has 2 zips so work until the level you are comfortable at using one hand to open, if you know what I mean😉

[@AnUrbanGypsy]

I zip mine to the curve that sits at the front of my body when worn so I just need to use the one zip on top. Works fine that way.

[@ameliarosescloset]

I need to get used to zipping it like this, i like the look of it in the middle, but it's too annoying!

[@TheCiamarie]

For a bag at this price, you should be able to zip it from anywhere on the zip in my opinion.

[@nessadavey9790]

I chose the Croisette in DE over the Alma bb, The cross body issues and access where my hiccups also, Have an amazing day 🌻

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thank you!

[@seagreen2034]

Forget the bag, your suit is stunning!

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thank you! It's from reiss

[@carlacameron4055]

I agree with some of the other commenters. It is really meant to be handheld. The strap is for a just in case situation. I have had many bags over the years that have had both handles and straps. I usually take off the straps and just use them handheld. If I want cross body I buy strictly crossbody.😊

[@ameliarosescloset]

I think it is handheld too

[@MilaN-lt2mq]

I love my Alma bb. Mine is in vernis and 10 years old now. I would never buy it in canvas because it is not an everyday bag. It’s for going out and special occasions. I only use mine hand-held. If you want a casual everyday bag, get a speedy in canvas.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Agreed in the leather, it's fab

[@Ruthbaglady]

My other half bought me my Alma BB in Damier Ebene as my retirement gift & I absolutely love it. I do agree about it being not the easiest crossbody so I do tend to hand carry it if I’m honest, I don’t like the diagonal attachment either. I never know where to attach the padlock without worrying it will get scratched! My solution to the not liking it crossbody was to then buy the Pochette Metis - problem solved! 😃

[@ameliarosescloset]

Love this solution!

[@blktauna]

I have a regular Alma PM. I'm 5'5"/165cm and 170lbs/77kg and wear it crossbody all the time. I think if you arrange the zips with one more forward than the other it makes a large difference. Dont have them meet in the middle. I also think you have yours a bit too short to lay nicely. My ancient canvas has no feet. BTW your suit is gorgeous on you.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thank you, it's from reiss

[@robinkohl9827]

I adore your suit. That color is definitely you.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Oh thank you!

[@reneehampton7665]

Is it any more bulkier than the Cappucine or the Side trunk?

[@ameliarosescloset]

I don't really like my capucines cross body either

[@sarahmassingham1311]

I agree with everything you have said! I can’t wear mine crossbody because I am 5 foot 2 and when I bought mine in 2015 it did not have the adjustable strap - it is in vernis blue azure and very beautiful but I really don’t use it much as it is really better hand held which annoys me! The zips are also annoying I agree and now zip both to one side.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thank you!

[@nat-qi6ou]

I got my Alma BB in exotics, wore it, loved the look and then I let it go. for shoulder/crossbody bags I prefer box-shaped bags.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Me too

[@adrianna.adrianna]

[@mnicolechic]

I have the Alma BB in canvas. It's an everyday bag for me. I only wear it crossbody. I am 5'2, curvy and large, chested, and it works for me crossbody. I love mine. It's relatively easy for me to use as well.

[@ameliarosescloset]

love this!

[@zainabkhawaja92]

I LOVE the suit you’re wearing. The fit on you and the color - you look AMAZING in it.

[@ameliarosescloset]

[@MissTiffee619]

I’ve been saying for years that I wish they LV would stop marketing this bag as a crossbody. It is not. It’s one of my favorite bags in my collection. It’s a great top handle. I have never worn it crossbody and never will.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Agreed!

[@mellissabluxury]

Ohhhh noooo I love the Alma bb crossbody ❤ It’s utter perfection on me. However I’m 177cm and a UK 14/16. I think height is key to wear this crossbody 🙂 Agree with the dents in the Malletage, I store mine with the handles tied up with a ribbon to avoid the hardware laying on the lambskin ❤

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@bernicestokes9683]

I love the Alma so beautiful in leather and canvas. Such a classic bag.

[@ameliarosescloset]

It really is!

[@victoriaodonovan5466]

💃 I share the sentiment . I love to travel with my husband but I also travel often alone for work . I have grown to embrace those hrs of self indulgence and it just makes me appreciate travelling with him even more on those trips .

[@ameliarosescloset]

Love that!

[@totorowtt]

I can’t stand my Alma bb. Same reasons u mentioned. I will be selling it because it’s just not for me. I NEVER wear it crossbody and I also don’t like the shape because of how it tapers up. I can only hold items mostly at the base.

[@ameliarosescloset]

I understand this!

[@my50plus_universe68]

I have the Alma PM ( in Monogram) since more than 7 years now and I never wear her crossbody. I wear her with the shoulder strap of my speedy bandolaire or handheld. Often I carry her on one handle and let the other fall down ( like a capuccines) , have it half open ( like this look) and so I can easily get in for my things. I use my PM often as a working bag, when I don’t have to carry books or a laptop in my bag 💕

[@ameliarosescloset]

Oh that's a good idea!

[@carolann7459]

Hi Amelia! I have a limited edition Alma BB in Damier Azur, purchased in the spring of 2022. I usually wear it as a shoulder bag, rather than crossbody. I also do not like how the bag sticks out on me. However, when I need to be hands-free, I will wear it crossbody. I love the handbag. The interior will hold quite a bit for a smaller-sized handbag. Thanks! Take care!💕

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@TheTravisAustin]

I’ve had my Alma bb in the Damier Ebene for almost 4 years now and I love it for nighttime use because it’s small enough not to look funny at night but spacious enough for my essentials. I’ve never worn it crossbody but it works for me as a shoulder bag if I have to be hands free. But I’m 5ft7 so it may help

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thank you!

[@AnnaKim-e8p]

Are you worried about the transfer onto the white leather?

[@ameliarosescloset]

Not really, I don’t mind my bags getting some beauty marks

[@bubls275]

Thank you so much for this review! I literally have been wanting this one in the navy malletage, but if I’m being honest, all the reasons you mentioned have been on my mind and I haven’t made the leap. She is a beauty all the same. ❤ Thanks for the info and the eye candy!

[@ameliarosescloset]

The navy is beautiful

[@bagit90]

It looks amazing with your suit! ❤ I get your point regarding the hard base that sticks out a bit. I have and love the alma bb in DE. It doesn't bug me too much. The crossbody strap attachments aren't my fave, but again, it's not a big problem for me. I still love the bag. I enjoy the hand carry but do use it crossbody for convenience.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@Pixella88]

I own five Alma pm and three bb because they are beautiful. The pm Alma is useful when I need to take more things, the bb bags are for going out. I don’t mind that the bb bags stick out when I wear them cross body. All the pm bags have straps so that I can sling them on my shoulder. The double zips are not an issue, sometimes I just leave the tops open and reach in. My favourite is the epi bb in rose ballerine.

[@ameliarosescloset]

They are beautiful

[@carolineholzwarth6360]

Most people would never see the bugga-boos that you see and feel. If it bothers you, it bothers you, I have the Alma in a canvas BB. I haven’t used it enough to feel very comfortable using it. I’ll keep your thoughts in mind.

[@ashleyp2722]

I have this bag in two colors. Impractical as it is, I do just love the look of it. I don't know if you've noticed yet, Amelia, but I would store it with the top handles gently tied so that they stay UP. If they press against the leather, that will eventually crease it as well. My navy one, which I purchased pre-owned, had slight creasing from the handles resting against the lambskin in storage. Not enough to deter my purchase, but it has put me on notice.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Oh thank you!

[@teacheschem]

Really love that black and white! But it really does fall oddly as you say!

[@ameliarosescloset]

So true!

[@accountingforluxury]

The reason I want a pm over a bb is that 1.) I don’t like it crossbody because it sticks out so I’d carry it handheld leading to 2.) the pm I can carry in the crook of my arm more comfortably. This is the bag I’m saving to get in the flagship in paris one day.

[@ameliarosescloset]

That will be a fabulous moment when you buy it

[@Wildunfiltered]

I’ve always loved the Alma. It’s a classic. Mine is the PM and is only hand held. I was so tempted by the malletage too. The navy or the ombré one. I also still think about the epi leather in BB size as I just think it’s carefree. It’s not the best crossbody but it’s nice to have the option. I knew the black and white had your name on it x

[@ameliarosescloset]

I think as long as i accept it as a handheld bag

[@TheJalebe73]

Definitely a beautiful bag, but I would never buy one for the exact reasons that annoy you….the two zips & how it hangs. I love a top handle, but I want the handle to always stand up (if that makes sense) for grab and go ease and then the crossbody. I’ve learned it’s my preferred style for everyday use. Looking fabulous girl!!! ❤❤

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thank you so much!

[@WyeChengChong-ql7lr]

I wear my alma bb as a shoulder bag or hand carry, I use the strap from my neo noe mm because the strap that comes with the alma is too long for shoulder. I agree with you it sticks out when worn crossbody. I like your black and white meletage version but if it creases easily then its a hard no for me, your review has been very informative and useful.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thank you!

[@AllthePrettyPurses]

Totally agree that it looks and feels awkward crossbody, and I prefer to hand carry it -- I do appreciate that the size of the handles makes it comfortable to carry in the crook of your arm.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Def hand carry for me!

[@MollDoll0314]

My first luxury purchase was the Alma BB. I’m 6ft tall and a size 10/12. I agree with all your points. It hits me in a weird spot on both my shoulder or crossbody. But then again most bags don’t fit me bc of how tall I am. I found myself fiddling with multiple extenders etc. only to get super frustrated, banging it against stuff inadvertently bc it sticks out so far from my body. While the two zips are beautiful they’re kind of annoying. I ended up selling it not that long ago. I’m looking forward to trying on the nano bc I love the alma and hoping to make it work in a different size. Fingers crossed! 🤞 Thanks for the in depth review, it’s super helpful.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thank you!

[@greeneyedcatwink]

I'm the same height as you. I have the beige melletage BB with studs. And nano monogram with green trim (LOVE!). The trick is to pull the handle up against your body on the inside one and it lays MUCH flatter. It's really easy on the nano. It's not bad on the BB, but WAY better than having both down. BTW, which size studs are you wearing with the Idly jewelry? I want some of these as I have seen you show these a few times and really like them!

[@ameliarosescloset]

Oh i will try that!

[@C2deePort]

The thing that gets me are the handles that get wonky / totally slanted because of where the strap attaches. You don’t get this with the Lady Dior although it’s diagonally attached as well. 20:49

[@ameliarosescloset]

Oh interesting

[@minwade5436]

Amelia, I wondered how you’d go with the Alma love the black/white combo. That’s the only positive for me, being older I use a walking stick. Def require a cross body bag but opposite side clips would do my head in along with the twin zips (you made me laugh abt the “zips attacking yr hand”). Ty for yr vlog, take care. Best wishes from Adelaide; South Australia🦘🐨🇦🇺💐

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thank you so much!

[@rosannagomez8040]

No different issues with Alma BB non leather. I use mine for travel and keep phone in pocket to take pics and avoid opening and closing the bag.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thanks for sharing

[@corikay]

Sad really! I have 3 that I never wear for the same reasons! Thanks for your honesty!😊

[@ameliarosescloset]

You are so welcome!

[@Rose-qr4xn]

I’m only 5 foot one as well. I thought it was just my size that made the Alma not fit right. Maybe it fits better on taller people with a longer torso? Nonetheless, the black-and-white Alma is elegant. I would own it just to appreciate it’s beauty and carry as a handbag. Great video.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thank you! Maybe it is better for taller people, handheld for me!

[@MadResch98]

I am such a fan of mini/micro dome bag, but the larger ones are a no for me. I have an Alma PM in vernis I received as a gift that I love to look at, but it's way too big on my frame (I'm very short and thin, so I look like I'm playing dress up when I use it). I have a mini satin alma that I love using for evening looks, as the wide base makes it very functional. I also have a micro sierra in bright pink that is fantastic for day or night. They are small, but they are mighty. I love wearing them crossbody for practicality. I do think the alma has a little thicker base than the Coach sierra though, so the alma doesn't lay as nice against my body, but it doesn't really bother me at all.

[@ameliarosescloset]

I'm loving the little nano!

[@BarbaraZDovey]

Hi Amelia, I have 5 Alma BBs and love them! Wear them on the arm or crossbody it’s amazing! It even fits a small bottle. I even have a rare purple croc version and cannot recommend them more! Sorry 🤣 I love them ❤ xxx

[@ameliarosescloset]

So glad you do! I love mine, just handheld!!

[@ceciliabrown3301]

I love the design but unfortunately doesn't work for me. I bought two Almas last year and returned them. Then decided to try Hermes Bolide, which is similar in design and had to return it too. I guess I stick to the Speedy.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thanks for sharing!

[@crab3696]

I am glad you did this review because you saved me good money 💰 I got the south bank besace instead

[@ameliarosescloset]

thank you!

[@crab3696]

I got the carryall pm and it's great both as cross body and shoulder bag.

[@ameliarosescloset]

i love the empriente in it

[@christytran407]

The Alma was actually my first bag from LV and it’s my favorite bag from LV. I own 4 in different sizes, canvas, epi leather and limited edition. I don’t ever wear it cross body though. I don’t think it looks good as a crossbody and i never wear my bags crossbody anyways. I usually just hold in the crook of my arms or if I need to be hands free I’ll wear it on my shoulder. I never zip it in the middle because I put the lock on mine. so I never have a problem getting in and out of the bag easily. I just zip it all the way down to one side. Ps your limited edition Alma is stunning. Love the orange nano too. I’m trying to convince myself I don’t need the nano. Since I already have 4 alma in my collection. 😄

[@ameliarosescloset]

I can see how you got to 4!!

[@normansigucci9845]

Hi Amelia hope all is well with you and your family! Why don’t you try zipping your Alma’s with both zippers on one side? You would only have to fiddle with one zipper all the way across but I think it would be easier to use the bag with one hand if needed:)

[@ameliarosescloset]

I need to do this!

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

What drives me nuts is the way to clochette hangs, especially when worn crossbody. That being said, I still enjoy mine.

[@ameliarosescloset]

I just think it's hand carry for me

[@user-nn9bk4ur3x]

Amelia you are correct! I dislike alma bags, i hope I don’t offend anyone but they look like a giant cosmetic pouch. When using as crossbody base sticks out too much. I also don’ like where the straps attach to the bag in reference to the size of the bag. Thank you for the video

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thank you!

[@miradonfbd]

It’s so gorgeous ( the malletage), all would be forgiven. I wonder if a hair dryer would help creases? I’ve carried this style of bag in the past and really liked it. Called a zip zip in Dooney land!

[@ameliarosescloset]

I'll try the hair dryer, i didn't think of that

[@angelicacorona677]

Dude, your eyes are beautiful!

[@ameliarosescloset]

Oh thank you!

[@felicia2463]

Great reviews!!❤️

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thank you! 🤗

[@CarolCreates]

5:12 I have 2 Alma’s - a BB and PM, and I never zip them up to the top. And you can fit more inside like a mini iPad. I leave the bag half zipped. So half down on the left side and on the right side. I don’t think I could carry it fully zipped. It would drive me insane 😱 I don’t mind the cross-body bulk. It’s bulky but it looks cool 😎

[@ameliarosescloset]

I will try this, thanks!

[@AnUrbanGypsy]

Love mine in the Epi, price is still really good for the Alma. I tend to wear it as a long shoulder bag or hand held with the zip set on the curve so I can easily open it with the one zip. It’s not a bag I’d buy for cross body unless I was tall and slender, then it would look better. The suit looks great on you and the CD belt too. You need (‘need’ 😂) one of the crystal, coloured Ferragamo belts so you can dress it up for an after work dinner.

[@ameliarosescloset]

I need/ love it!!

[@sanciawest5428]

Oh and btw I LOVE your suit. I love a two piece suit but as I only head into the office about once every 2-3 months I should probably not buy quite so many 😂

[@ameliarosescloset]

One good thing about my job, good suits!

[@87jallen]

I love the bag. Nothing really bothers me. I don’t zip it all of the way Or I leave the zippers on the side. Mine is newer with adjustable strap. My favorite bag cross body is pochette metis.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Pochette metis is a great bag

[@ybdini6428]

Geez... you look absolutely amazing in that suit! You have amazing taste!

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thank you! 😊

[@Divinenubian]

Yup it's not a crossbody and those zippers require both hands 🙄 The strap is kinda thin and agree the rivets are set in odd locations.. It scraps the top of the hand but hey it's cute and fits alot but so does other bags. I still have mine but don't use it often it's great for the days you don't need a crossbody. I bought mine in store for 1340 back in 2020 😊

[@ameliarosescloset]

Al so true

[@josettechrystall9290]

See I have the Alma bb and I love it. I love it more than I thought. First I vary rarely completely zip it. I don’t find a need to since I usually wear it hand held and now one is getting into it that way. I have worn it cross’s body and I am shorter than you at 5 ft and I don’t see it as an issue. What you see I don’t. I have the pm coussin and it sticks out way more. In fact most of my bags that I wear cross body will stick out because I stuff them with crap lol. I guess we are all different and see different issues and different things annoy us. Thanks for the review

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thank you!

[@brownsugar15068]

When I wear my Alma cross body I simple leave it open in the middle for easy access

[@ameliarosescloset]

That is an option

[@lorigarcia9830]

The Alma, Bebe N Verney you were looking for, the vintage, is on fashion file excellent condition.❤

[@ameliarosescloset]

Oh thank you!

[@nada2excoo]

Oh dear...not every bag has to be worn crossbody, even the speedy you love isn't made to be worn crossbody 😂 Listen this is a fabulous bag that worth it's price tag and I am against spending fortunes on bags. It takes your outfit from 6 to 10. If I see you wearing it on the street, I would assume you're a CEO or a top notch executive. Enjoy it.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thank you so much

[@loribdezngrl]

Agree, it’s not a comfy crossbody bag. I’ve got a larger one from the 90’s it’s definitely not a crossbody, bulky and too heavy

[@ameliarosescloset]

Yes!

[@rosannagomez8040]

I wear mine cross body but shove it towards my back. Also, the leather strap wears in my shoulder so I ordered a wide soft strap for travel.

[@ameliarosescloset]

That would be more comfortable

[@Dandan-km1vq]

I keep both zips on the side and that way I pull only one zip around get what I want and then pull it shut all the way to the other on on the side. Don’t keep the zips on the top

[@ameliarosescloset]

I'm going to have to get over that i like the look of the zips on the middle

[@tiamarnie7323]

I love my Alma bb. I 100% agree with you about the bag sticking out when wearing crossbody. I find the handle against the body either up or down more annoying. lol 😆

[@ameliarosescloset]

Same!

[@clau22431]

The Alma is not meant to be weared cross body. LV added the strap later to follow the crossbody style, something more modern. I have the same size and wear cross body or over shoulder when I am tired to hold her.

[@ameliarosescloset]

I think that's how it will be for me too

[@HandbagDiva]

I was the one who ordered it and sent it back. It was a mess, yours looks 15:52 100x better than the one I was sent. Also the handles weren’t centred. I really love the bag so was disappointed.

[@ameliarosescloset]

I remember you telling me this, was so disappointing

[@sanciawest5428]

The crossbody aspect of the Alma does not bother me at all because I’ve always just seen it as a handheld bag. I love the style and sophistication of a nice top handle bag. Of course that’s only practical in certain scenarios.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Handheld for me too

[@ktr2345]

i'm short, so the crossbody strap it came with was FAAAR too long. spent an extra 250 on the crossbody strap (adjustable). now i only find myself wearing it handheld anyway, just like you said! lol!

[@ameliarosescloset]

I did that before with the brea!!

[@Eva-sg4en]

My vernis PM is my absolute favourite ❤

[@ameliarosescloset]

Beautiful bag

[@Justme-x4h]

I had the Hermès bolide and sold it. I bought the Alma BB in damier ebene and I’m not in love with it, I don’t think that shape of bag is for me. Personally I really don’t like the zipper on the Alma. I even let it open because it’s not easy to get in and out. I wear it crossbody mostly , it’s fine but not the best. No more Alma for me for sure or any other bag that shape.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@Jploveslv]

I love that vernis Alma!!!

[@ameliarosescloset]

It's so cool!

[@pasitheathanatosasmr488]

12:27 flip it around. The strap clasp in *front* of your body needs to be on the *outside* of the bag, not the inside d-ring or whatever the hardware is.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Oh I’ll try that thank you

[@MariaRodriguez-om1yi]

I predict you’ll sell this one. Get an epi Alma bb!! you don’t like black and white bags. Every time you have one you never use them.

[@ameliarosescloset]

I know!! I did think that before i bought her!

[@carrino15]

I rather advice to go for alma pm. Very good space for iPad, lunch, water, makeup stuff etc

[@ameliarosescloset]

I must look at those

[@carolPledgy]

It looks amazing on you Amelia x

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thank you!

[@zeljkabozic]

I prefer much more Hermes Bolides with one zipper and handles always up 😊

[@ameliarosescloset]

Fair enough!

[@melxx4035]

I kept the lock on my rose ballerine Alma and my damier ebene one ( I only use one zip so the second zip and lock sits on one side. I don’t bring it to the middle) - the lock noise is ANNOYING AF 🤣 every time you take a step tap tap tap 😅😂 and the bag itself doesn’t sit right when worn on shoulder or crossbody ( now I could take the lock off but I just think it looks nicer with it on 😂) annoying bags but pretty

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thanks for sharing!!

I keep the locks on all my 4 alma and I don’t have that problem. Lol I can see how that could be annoying. It would annoy me too 😂

2 hands? No! Try just switching the direction of the bag to use the same hand to open the other zip. It will loosen up on the access. If you wear it cross body towards the front it won't stick out visually as much. I love the shape of the Alma. But choose it for your body type. The BB is ok for your size IMO. It's far more practical than the Lady Dior or the LV Capucines JIMO. But what I object to with this bag is it will not readily integrate with your wardrobe. It's far too angular with the diamond shape and your'e not an angular type. The high contrast black and white are not your colours. JIMO.

I will try that, and i did wonder myself if the colours would work, she's staying for now but we shall see!

LOL ... ya making problems up :-)) i have 3 BB model and 2 PM model i let them half open, this way i have no problems with zippers/ to get in and when i wear them crossbody i use both loops on the same side ( body side ) for the strap, that way the bag sits close to your body, flat. ya welcome LOL

[@ameliarosescloset]

I don't like the way it hangs with the straps on one side, too hard to please!!
