- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มิ.ย. 2024
- The Louis Vuitton Alma, it is annoying! I now have 2 Louis Vuitton Alma bags, an Alma BB and an Alma nano. I have previously said I would never buy one of these bags, I don't like the shape and I find them frustrating to use, but now I have 2 in my collection! These are beautiful, classic and iconic bags but there are things about them that make them annoying and difficult to use, if you are interested in this bag, watch this video before you buy. one!

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 💕💕
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
Thank you so much!
La sakoj ene de *preluxz* estas perfektaj kiel donacoj por amikoj. La prezo ne estas alta kaj la kvalito estas bona.
Absolutely love the coat you are wearing! and the*jklux* bag !
When people say *jklux* is a better choice, I couldn't agree more!
Such GREAT comparisons! Allllll soooo lovely! Especially the *yutulu* tote. Their styles are so chic, sleek, elegant and understated! 😍
Okay, I've always been scratching my head about *preluxz* obsession with school bags and their practicality, but this video is adorable! Congratulations
Great reviews!!❤️
Thank you! 🤗
Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens *jklux*
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.
Agreed in the leather, it's fab
I know wealthy women who carry replicas. The main reason they gave is that they just understand the value of money and don't want to spend too much money on bags... so more people choose fashionable *preluxz* bags. However, they do spend a lot of money on fine jewelry and other things.
Perception is everything, I remember saving up for my first LV and some coworkers automatically thought it was fake because I was a young black girl. At that point I really stopped caring what people's opinions were, people will always have their opinions based on how you look. After this I shopped in *preluxz* . If you drive a Bentley and get out of the car with a fake Hermès, no one will question you.
While I'm not really a *jklux* person, this video was super interesting and informative! Thanks for sharing!
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have the *preluxz* as my travel bag and not have to take care of it. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
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😉
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.
@@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😉
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.
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *preluxz* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
I need to get used to zipping it like this, i like the look of it in the middle, but it's too annoying!
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?
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.
@@CarolCreates I never have the zips meet in the middle.
Yes, it can
I can try this thanks!

I chose the Croisette in DE over the Alma bb,
The cross body issues and access where my hiccups also,
Have an amazing day 🌻
Thank you!
Do you find it too wide/big and bulky? I’ve just bought the*jklux* which is basically the same width and my only worry is it bumping into things and wear on the corners, has yours scuffed?
girl. That *preluxz* bag, you look great wearing it! ! I like!
I use my *jklux* as a work bag and have had no issues at all. It’s a comfortable bag, fits a good amount and hadn’t lost its shape. With that being said, I also take care of all my bags and don’t carry a water bottle, pens, keys or anything that can damage the interior.
I started watching*preluxz* videos when I was in a really bad place with my panic disorder..
I think it hangs similar to the Lady Dior. Both bags are meant to be hand held with a crossbody option for occasional use. I have the black in Epi. I needed a basic black bag and it’s my only plain black option. It’s also VERY sturdy. I recently dropped it on the pavement and it didn’t suffer any scratches. I wanted the Epi in navy but it’s no longer available on the LV website in the US.
lady Dior has a more straight cut. Falls different to the Alma that does stick out at the bottom
It is such a sturdy bag
Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens *preluxz*
I have two pre-loved*jklux* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.

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
Thank you!
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the*preluxz* as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
These are all my favorite*preluxz* ！
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 😉
Thank you so much!
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!
The navy is beautiful
*hotdups* Bolsa réplica 1:1 con imagen reflejada, resistente y resistente al desgaste. Me gusta mucho.
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *preluxz* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations
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 😊
Al so true
I love the Alma so beautiful in leather and canvas. Such a classic bag.
It really is!
I really love your taste and style always so chic. 👌My faves would be the *yutulu* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. 💓Thank you for your recommendations.
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.
Me too
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! 😃
Love this solution!
I have two pre-loved *preluxz* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.
Really love that black and white! But it really does fall oddly as you say!
So true!
I love your videos and always click the “like” button at the beginning of the video. And I’ve never been disappointed to do so :)
Thank you so much!
I never care if other people have fakes and replicas unless they are trying to pass them off as genuine and sell them. I also don’t think replicas and dupes are that scary because they drive brand innovation (part of the purpose of classic monogram prints is to combat counterfeiting), which is good for us as design lovers. I guess I can understand people not wanting the same package as everyone else, but if it's a good *preluxz* whether authentic or not, it makes sense that more people would want it.
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.

Forget the bag, your suit is stunning!
Thank you! It's from reiss
*jklux* shopping etiquette. Explaining what the general rules are, how to approach an SA, how to dress, how stores may differ. Something like a step-by-step for newbies (like me) who feel out of their depth. The thing I worry about an the awkward moment when I've spent 20mins drooling over a bag just to turn and leave empty-handed. Idk what to say! Maybe that sounds dumb but I'm so awkward, I don't want to come off as rude or uncomfortable, it's not their fault I'm an anxious mess.
No matter the appearance or the metal parts of the *preluxz* I believe that as long as you are not a practitioner, you will never see any difference
I adore your suit. That color is definitely you.
Oh thank you!
💃 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 .
Love that!
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.😊
I think it is handheld too
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.
Thank you, it's from reiss
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
Thank you!
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!💕
Thanks for sharing!!
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.
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🦘🐨🇦🇺💐
Thank you so much!
Sad really! I have 3 that I never wear for the same reasons! Thanks for your honesty!😊
You are so welcome!
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 ❤
Thanks for sharing!!
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.
Thank you!
Is it any more bulkier than the Cappucine or the Side trunk?
I don't really like my capucines cross body either
I love the design, but I don't have the budget. So I bought the*preluxz* bag. Made from high quality legal snakeskin made by local Indonesian artists. From now on I never want to buy any luxury goods.
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
I think as long as i accept it as a handheld bag
I still love my LV reverse monogram *jklux* clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.
girl. That *preluxz* bag, you look great wearing it! ! I like!
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 😂
One good thing about my job, good suits!
Dude, your eyes are beautiful!
Oh thank you!
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.
Thank you!
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.
Oh thank you!
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!
Oh i will try that!
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.
Thank you! Maybe it is better for taller people, handheld for me!
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
So glad you do! I love mine, just handheld!!
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
Oh interesting
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!!! ❤❤
Thank you so much!
What drives me nuts is the way to clochette hangs, especially when worn crossbody. That being said, I still enjoy mine.
When I wear my Alma cross body I simple leave it open in the middle for easy access
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.
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.
Thanks for sharing!
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.
They are beautiful
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!
I'll try the hair dryer, i didn't think of that
I love that vernis Alma!!!
It's so cool!
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.
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.
I need/ love it!!
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.
That will be a fabulous moment when you buy it
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
Thank you!
I love *yutulu*, yes, that’s what I’m here for 😍😍😍
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.
Thanks for sharing
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
Thank you!
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 💕
Oh that's a good idea!
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:)
I need to do this!
The Alma, Bebe N Verney you were looking for, the vintage, is on fashion file excellent condition.❤
Oh thank you!
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.
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 😎
I will try this, thanks!
God bless this woman! Her *yutulu* bag is amazing
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 😆
Same!
Los bolsos en *jklux* combinan con todo. ?Muchos elogios! ?Gran pieza para agregar a tu colección!
My vernis PM is my absolute favourite ❤
Beautiful bag
His H Q D U P S tote is beautifully colored, very sturdy and the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I look forward to joining my rotation
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.
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.
Thanks for sharing!!
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
Yes!
The quality and workmanship of HQDUPS's high-end imitation bags are very satisfactory. The soft and delicate leather shows that the materials are quite good. The texture of the metal accessories also makes the bag look very high-end. The fine processing of details makes this bag look no less inferior to the original.
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.
That would be more comfortable
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.
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.
I think that's how it will be for me too
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.
Handheld for me too
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
I'm going to have to get over that i like the look of the zips on the middle
I rather advice to go for alma pm. Very good space for iPad, lunch, water, makeup stuff etc
I must look at those
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.
Agreed!
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.
I remember you telling me this, was so disappointing
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
Thanks for sharing!!
Such a great collection of vintage/pre owned bags! A vintage*jklux* is definitely also on my list
I prefer much more Hermes Bolides with one zipper and handles always up 😊
Fair enough!
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.
Thank you so much
En el momento en que vi el bolso *preluxz* supe que tenía que tenerlo.
Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens *jklux*
I think it looks fine ! But if it’s annoying that’s a pain
It is!
@@ameliarosescloset it actually looks nice not just fine. See how it goes
it beautiful that why that all mater
Thank you!
hi, *jklux* ，i just wanna tell you that you make my day with your videos. you have srsly helped me through not so happy times!!! thank you
LV Speedy! ❤❤❤
Absolutely love the coat you are wearing! and the*jklux* bag !
I love the design, but I don't have the budget. So I bought the *jklux* bag. Made from high quality legal snakeskin made by local Indonesian artists. From now on I never want to buy any luxury goods.
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!
I sold my alma in de I alway chose my croisette over it ❤
I can see that
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.
I know!! I did think that before i bought her!
