ONE YEAR ALMA BB REVIEW - DO I RECOMMEND IT?

[@MelissaAdams-Wade]

Hi 👋🏼 I have linked both of my organizers along with the DGAZ strap in the description box. I also linked DUYP where you can find the M case and the Corssica wallet.

In terms of color, the fake *HOTDUPS* here looks more colorful, clear and clean! Anyway, I can't tell the difference, maybe I'm too stupid and will never buy it! Haha

[@RekGarrido]

I went to Gucci today and the salesperson told me that they often can't tell the difference between an authentic and a *HOTDUPS* bag. Surprised to hear that from the SA.

[@Nita19SC04]

They are both beautiful 🥰 We never go wrong with a timeless bag.

[@MelissaAdams-Wade]

Thank you 😊

[@candissweetloveforlv]

Love both of your Alma bags. You chose two beautiful ones! TFS 💞💞💞

[@MelissaAdams-Wade]

Thank you Candi 🤍

I had an Alma BB. It was just a little too small. I have opted for the Alma PM. I bought mine pre-loved. I got them for a great price and I love them. No matter what size you get, you can't go wrong with an Alma!❤️❤️

[@MelissaAdams-Wade]

@@DeeHigginbotham-mv3gc I agree 💯

I love what you said in your description box. I assume filming is so much more fun when you talk about what you want to talk about. Great video Mel.

[@MelissaAdams-Wade]

Thank you. Sometimes we have to do things for fun and not for the algorithm. 🤍🤍

[@jess_luvs_lv]

Both of your Alma’s are beautiful

[@MelissaAdams-Wade]

@@jess_luvs_lv Thank you 😊

[@RekGarrido]

Good night and happy shopping, *HOTDUPS* bags, shoes, sunglasses are all great, have a great day

[@Somehowadulting]

Great review! Good to know about the felt vs satin inserts.

[@MelissaAdams-Wade]

@@Somehowadulting Thank you 😊

[@Nita19SC04]

You can buy an extra strap from Launer London for the blue Alma. They have all the colours we can imagine, we can choose the hardware and they are adjustable as well. I leaved the link but I think the comment was deleted.

[@MelissaAdams-Wade]

@@Nita19SC04 I’ve never heard of them before. I’ll look into it. Thank you 🤍

[@Nita19SC04]

@@MelissaAdams-Wade It is a british brand. Launer was Queen Elizabeth's favorite brand. She always carried a Launer London purse hooked on her arm 🤍

[@MelissaAdams-Wade]

@@Nita19SC04 very cool.

[@dawnhill891]

Great video! I enjoyed seeing the comparison and the WIMB. Thanks for sharing ❤🎉

[@MelissaAdams-Wade]

Thank you 😊

[@aprilshouseofflair]

I know this isn’t the point of the video but the denim and indigo/teal color looks fabulous on you!! Your hair and your eyes pop and the street sign Alma goes perfectly with your outfit. I have always low key wanted an Alma BB but want to find the right one for me.

[@MelissaAdams-Wade]

Thank you. I think it’s a great bag. What keeps you from getting one?

[@aprilshouseofflair]

@@MelissaAdams-Wade I am looking for a a color/material combo that speaks to me. I also am curious to see how it lays on my body crossbody b/c I see it can be a bit awkward when worn that way.

[@pholtlux_749]

Great and thorough review! I like the felt organizers as well. Have never tried the silky ones but good to know not to bother! They are pretty….

[@MelissaAdams-Wade]

@@pholtlux_749 Thank you 😊. They are very pretty but I think felt are the best long term.

[@MissTiffee619]

Thanks for mentioning that the epi is slightly heavier. I have the Damier Ebene and I’m dying to get one in epi next. I only carry it top handle, never with the strap.

[@MelissaAdams-Wade]

@@MissTiffee619 I mainly carry mine too handle too 💙

[@birkinboy3976]

I love the Alma shape I’ve owned a few I’ve just never been able to make it work for me love the look though 💚💚💚

[@MelissaAdams-Wade]

You like your bags quite a bit bigger and softer than the Alma.

[@Jorgelinas.Journey]

The Alma BB did not work out for me. I love love love the way they look, but the stiffness of them is what drew me away from me. I appreciate your take on the organizer because I’ve been wanting to get the silk-looking ones for a while, but I think I’d feel the same way you feel on them.

[@MelissaAdams-Wade]

I can see that. Slouchy bags are easier to use. 🤍

[@LisaChenNg]

Why does everyone’s BB look so much bigger than mine 😂

[@MelissaAdams-Wade]

🤣😂 no clue

[@JoleeSO]

I’ve had Alma’s …always disappointed with them

[@MelissaAdams-Wade]

I’m sorry to hear that. We all have our preferences 🤍
