Hello. I know this video has been two years ago. Ty for making this video it is very helpful and u look gorgeous ❤❤❤. I am also wondering how is the bag now? Does the damier holds it shape better or the neo alma? I want an everyday bag but i want one that keeps its shapes and not lose it or stretch out. Im just wondering how those two purse hold up now. Ty :)
They are both in great shape!! I did buy inserts to go inside them to protect them but even without the insert, they would have been fine. Nice bags for everyday!!!
I watched the first review of alma Bb in empriente and was you convinced me to buy it. I’m Thinking of getting the ebene bb. The last few years I got rid of large bags and I’ve pretty have carried only small bags as I just tired of lugging around big heavy bags.I love the ebene Alma as it is pretty much worry free with weather issues and love how light it is. I’m pretty sure this bag will always be. classic for Louis Vuitton. Thanks for such a great review and all the Mod shots as I think that really sealed my decision for this beauty to be my next bag. I have not purchased any bags for a couple years so I’m going to treat myself when I go on a small trip to the coast in the fall. I keep looking at the website but they are always out of stock so I sure hope the store has them when I go in to buy. Take Care
If you can’t find it, message Becca she’s my sales associate I always put her information and phone number and my description box and tell her that I sent you to her and she will find one for you. Tell her you absolutely want to have this bag and she will get it for you. I can’t promise they’ll have it in the stores because although they probably will never just continue canvas they are just continuing having so much of it, most stores have mostly leather and the boutiques so it’s good to have somebody to call Mike Becca. She will go above and beyond for you and I hope that you get to bed very soon. When you do please let me know!💕💕💕💕
What a detailed and helpful review Yota! I sold the Alma BB in indigo and Alma PM in Vernis last year because my zipper kept getting wonky when I would put that extra item I needed in like my sunglasses etc. and you know how OCD I am about wonky zippers and patterns on patterns 😂😂 The funny thing is I still love the classic look of the Alma bag so much. I think the empreinte one may be something I would consider again one day. Have a good week lovely friend ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great review Yota! I watched this while I was eating lunch, a nice little break from a busy day at work. Love the classic DE but your empreinte alma bb has my heart. ❤️ You look beautiful today my friend!
oh yes GET IT!!! 🤣😬 I am a luxury enabler so if you ever have any questions just ask me or if you need someone’s approval... I will approve it for you LOL I really do love the mat look of the leather on the Ebene bag.
Such a great comparison video! I knew the Empriente version looked slightly bigger, this confirmed it. My only concern would be the wear on the corners of the leather version. Please keep us posted on how well it wears, or if you feel you need to be more careful with those corners. I loved the mod shots and your pick of music was perfection!!!!💖💖💖
YES!!! I will do a wear and tear video later after I have used them more. I am super careful with my bags and corner wear has never been an issue for me. Thanks so much!! You are AWESOME!
Alma BB in DE is my LV dream bag. Soooo beautiful. I am sad that they can discontinue the canvas line, because I can't purchase a luxury handbag now. Congrats for your purchase. It looks lovely with the bag charm in it.
I don’t think they will completely discontinue the canvas line but it will be harder to find and the prices will continue to go up several times a year until it’s to the point of ridiculous. I love the Alma BB TOO!!! Look on the Facebook Reetzy pages and you may find something at a great price!!
Love both bags . I’m in love with the brown DA . Just got a vintage papillon 26 in the DA print And I feel secure if rains . But the Alma is on my wish list . The red top is fabulous ❤️💕✌🏼
Love the red on you! Oh I'm so excited for this comparison. I have 3 Alma PMs in epi leather and love them. I would consider a BB. Your wallet situation is interesting. I would probably keep the driver's license with the credit cards because people sometimes ask for my ID when I pay with credit card. My favorite is definitely the empreinte. It's gorgeous. xoxo
I can see you with an Alma BB! I know my wallet situation is temporary until I can cough up the money for the wallet I want. I am not an SLG person so it’s hard to spend money for things like that. UGHHHH THE STRUGGLE JILL!!! 😬🤣🤣🤣
They are such beautiful bags. I think I would like one in the Epi leather. You look stunning in that outfit, what a great figure. Hope we all have lots of opportunities to use our bags this year. 😄
Great comparison! I would love the empreinte Alma BB one day because I love my DE Alma BB so much! I guess the leather makes is more stretcheable, so roomier? Either way, I think both are nice to have and very useable pieces! Oh, and yes, get the 4 ring key holder! I had gotten it for that reason, because I don't need to carry as many keys anymore and even though the 6 ring isn't that big, the 4 ring takes much less room! I am SO happy with it! No regrets! And it's nice to still have my 6 ring if ever I need to carry more keys one day, post pandemic! Thanks for sharing bella! ♥♥♥
The Empriente Bag has a wider base and it just holds quite a bit more which is surprising. I knew it held more but I was surprised how much more. I definitely need the 4 ring key holder and you DEFINITELY NEED the Empriente Alma BB 🤣😂 Maria if there’s anything else that you need or want I will be happy to be your luxury enabler LOL I approve all luxury purchases🤣🤣😂😂😂
The Alma BB was probably my first luxury mistake; I went into LV (I don't know how many years ago; I had saved up for a bag and wanted to take a look), and had a look on the Alma PM and BB in Vernis leather (in Noir Magnétique). When I put my stuff in the bags, I actually already should have known that the BB simply is too small for my needing, but I thought it was so cute, so I bought it. - To came back about three months later to buy the Alma PM (again in Vernis leather and Noir Magnétique). The PM is my most used bag, I love it, whereas the BB size sits around in it's dustbag and box, I sometimes look at it, but I can't use it, I need more space (and Yes, the "wonky" zipper I know very well, since I had it practically every time I used my Alma BB). I should sell this bag, but I can't part ways with it (for now, at least), it's so cute 😉. But being honest with myself, it was a luxury purchase where I made the wrong decision. Btw, that cardigan looks stunning on you 😍!
Thalia I think we’ve all made luxury mistakes I know I have, but at least we learn from them it just depends on what you’re comfortable carrying around with you I like big bags but I also like smaller bags these days. I know what you mean it’s hard to sell some thing for me too. I don’t buy bags and sell them six months later I’ve sold a few this past year but I thought about it for a long time before I took that for lunch so definitely you don’t want to have sellers remorse. I’m glad you enjoyed the larger Alma bag I love the shapes of them I wish they would put a strap on them. Thanks for sharing your story hope you have a great weekend!
Hi Yota! I so agree with you. I am VERY impulsive. So at times, I make a purchase and then realize had I just waited a bit, I may not have made it. Oh well, Now that I am retired, I think about all the money I have wasted and get so mad at myself. But then, I forgive myself and say................it is what it is. Love watching and listening to you. Thanks Yota! Be safe and stay well!😊💕✌️
I know same here I’ve wasted a lot of money and I probably still do not as much as I used to LOL but we’ve all been there don’t be too hard on yourself. Thank you so much for your support you’re awesome I really appreciate you and I hope you have a great day🥰
Beautiful bags. Oh, how I wish I had nearly $4,000 to throw at the empreinte noir OnTheGo tote with that orange interior like your Alma BB. So pretty. I mostly stopped wearing patterns for the same reason your subscriber mentioned...I want what I'm wearing to work well together and I want to carry patterned bags like the LV canvas so that meant (for me) I had to switch to solid colored clothes.
Do you know what I never really thought about that until she mentioned it to me and I thought that was a great point that I need to bring up. I always wear pattern clothes and pattern bags LOL but I think it’s a personal thing. Oh I wish you had that bag to I know you would love it and use it for work.
Hi! I love both of your Alma bags..I would gravitate to the Empriente leather because I already have two DE bags. However, the strap on the Empriente is too long for me. I know I can get a substitute strap but I love the width of the strap and how it looks on the body. They both look great on you! Also, I bought the Coach version (Mini Sierra) to see if this style would work for me..I cannot begin to tell you how many compliments on get on it. Thank you for sharing your wonderful video ❤️
Well I’m gonna have to look the coach bag up I can’t remember if I’ve seen it or not. Seriously, you know what you would think that as much money as we spent on these bags that Louis vuitton could at least put adjustable straps on them. I mean I’m 5 foot three and it’s not gonna look the same as it does on somebody who is 5 foot seven or 5 foot nine. They should think about that but they don’t really care LOL I love DE print!!! you don’t have to worry about it when it rains that’s what I love about it the most. I’m curious to know if you are Matchey matchy with your handbag and your clothes because I’m not, I’m probably the only person that’s not LOL thanks for watching hope you have a great day❤️❤️❤️🥰
Awwww I was hoping you were going to say you didn't need the Empreinte anymore and that you were going to send it to me! 😂 The more I see the Alma BB the more I want one! 🤩 ENABLER! 🤪🤣💖😘
Perfect bags, size, color and material...I don't have one YET BUT IT'S COMING 🤣 These little cuties are deceiving, they fit more then one would think. TFS Beautiful!!
I love dome shaped bags. I must admit, I prefer the black one - v nice. LV should provide an adjustable strap considering what they charge for their bags.😱
Yes!!! That’s exactly what I think Rose it’s ridiculous their way over priced, I will be the first one to admit it but I guess if we want it bad enough we’re going to pay for it. Thank you so much for watching hope you have a great week!
Hey Yota, because you live in a small town, do you feel nobody notices your designer bags at all, or don’t you care ? The Emprinte looks bigger for some reason . Are they the same size ? Ok, never mind , you answered ! Beautiful ! 🎉🎉🎉🎉Hahah
GREAT QUESTION!!! To be honest, I buy them for me because I love them and the way they make me feel. I honestly don’t care if anyone notices them and your right, living in a small town not many people have them or know what they are to be honest. I think at the stage in my life, I have raised my kids, had a long nursing career and now I do what makes me happy but not for anyone to notice simply because I love them. LOVED YOUR QUESTION!!! Now if someone notices I am thrilled!! LOL My family thinks I have a mental disorder 🤣🤣🤣😬😬
The size difference seals the deal for me, very helpful review Yota!
GREAT!!! I am so thrilled I could help you decide!!! 🥰❤️❤️❤️

Good morning Yota, you are such an inspiration and i love all your videos. This keeps me motivated. Have a great day.
Wow THANK YOU!!! What a lovely thing to say🥰 I appreciate that!!!❤️❤️❤️

I think the Black Empriente would suit your style!!!!
Great review Yota! I watched this while I was eating lunch, a nice little break from a busy day at work. Love the classic DE but your empreinte alma bb has my heart. ❤️ You look beautiful today my friend!
THANK YOU!!! ❤️❤️ The Empriente is gorgeous!!!
Great video!❤ I'm trying decide on black alma in size bb or pm
I think both are classics. You can’t go wiring?
Perfect comparison video! Just what I needed, I think I’m going to go with the empreinte 😍 btw is your toiletry 15 made in France or Spain? Thank you!
My Toiletry 15 is made in France!! Awww so glad it was helpful for you!!! Either bag is an excellent choice!!! YAY FOR YOU!!! 💕💕💕
I carry my touch up make up in my Felicie zip pouch.
-glad your feeling better. ✨
I have a feeling I will use my pouch more than my Felicie!
Thanks Josie, much better🥰
I use the strap from my speedyb for my Alma and it works great. I wish my Alma had an adjustable strap. Makes no sense that it doesn’t. Great video.
That’s a fantastic idea!!! Thanks for that tip!!! 🥰
The BB in DE is on my wishlist! I have the BB in black epi and love it.
oh yes GET IT!!! 🤣😬 I am a luxury enabler so if you ever have any questions just ask me or if you need someone’s approval... I will approve it for you LOL
I really do love the mat look of the leather on the Ebene bag.

Thanks so much!! You are AWESOME!
I love those bags Yota. Thanks for sharing. ❤️❤️❤️
My Pleasure Vicky❤️❤️❤️
Ahhh they're both SO beautiful!!!! But I absolutely LUV Empriente 🖤🖤🖤
I like the match up with the red kimono ❤ looks great!!
Thanks So much!!! If I weren’t so scared of the Vachetta I would get a monogrammed one LOL
Love both!! You are so fun!!!🤩
Thanks so much Love 💕
Love them both however I really like the empriente leather one because it gives just a bit more space and I love the look of that one. TFS.
Yes it does definitely have more space!! TFW!!!🥰
Alma BB in DE is my LV dream bag. Soooo beautiful. I am sad that they can discontinue the canvas line, because I can't purchase a luxury handbag now.

Looks can be deceiving , the bags look so small but hold so much, really cute. Great video and I love your shawl, take care
Yes definitely Terrie!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️🥰🥰🥰

Thanks Andrea🥰❤️❤️❤️
Thanks great comparison xx
My pleasure 🥰
Love the alma BB I want both of those. I have the monogram it’s one of my very favorite bags. Tfs your beauties Xx 😘 Jennifer
Hi Jennifer! I I love the monogram, my only problem is I’m scared to death of Vachetta leather 😭
Do LV still makes the toiletry 15?
No, sadly it’s been discontinued. Louis vuitton discontinued all the Toiletry bags.
My granddaughter is starting to say BAM! when she does something. I just crack up. I'm starting to call you Auntie Yota to her. Haha!
🤣🤣😂😂 BAM!!! That’s too funny!!!!!

YESSS GET ONE!!!! YOU NEED IT!! 🤣🤣🤣😬😬
That is my next desire. Looking great today
Awww I hope you get it!!! Thanks so much!!🥰
I returned my BB in exchange for the MM. I love my mm size. It’s beautiful. I can fit glasses and sunglasses without the zipper being wonky.
If I ever get another one I’m going to go in the boutique and try on the Mm size!!!
Wonky zippers are annoying!!! ❤️
Perfect bags, size, color and material...I don't have one YET BUT IT'S COMING 🤣
These little cuties are deceiving, they fit more then one would think.
TFS Beautiful!!
YAYYYY Do you want Canvas or Empriente?!!!
I approve your purchase LOL
Love the alma bags
Thanks so much!!
Love the alma bb i got mine this summer i exchange my pm and im so happy i did that.. 😍🥰❤️ love your red tops ❤️👛👛👛

Bothe are gorgeous, but de is always a classic for me! 😍❤️
Thank you 🥰 Yes Definitely LOVE DE!!!
Love the two almas❤️ you look great with both of them ❤️🥰🥰👍🏽
Thank you Florencia!! 🥰🥰🥰
Я недавно купила сумку Альма в принте Damier Eben, но кожа мне тоже нравится, выглядит роскошно. Увы, она вне моего бюджета(
