What a great video! It inspired me to go change into my Alma BB! I need to check out the Alma PM sometime this year. Love the idea of a pre-loves, under-the-radar LV bag as well!
I found this channel because I have a Pont Neuf and was wondering would it even make sense to get an Alma since they seem so similar to me. I like how low key the Pont Neuf is. I've had it for a few years and only ONE person has ever commented on it, and that was because they worked in a high end consignment shop and recognized it 😂. Thanks for this comparison!
So glad to hear this was helpful! I’ve only ever had one person comment on my Pont Neuf too and it was an LV client advisor! Are you leaning towards getting an Alma or no?
I love the Alma BB - my only hesitancy is that I love crossbody bags and although you can wear it crossbody I feel like it just looks awkward and too bulky. Think I’ll stick with other bags until I’m ready to commit to a hand held bag 😂
So glad it was helpful! Yep - It wasn't designed for crossbody wear, so it's not the best idea, except for *maybe* very occasionally. The hardware is also pretty thick so it's hard to get the strap on and off (in case you couldn't tell by how long i struggled to get it unhooked lol!)
Hi Lula!! I love that yellow and purple combination!! Did you know that the pont Neuf has a sibling with a different name Triana. I have it and it’s the same design just in Damier Ebene canvas. Totes Gene and I are doing a collab this Saturday on this topic so your video is super timing!!
Thanks so much for suggesting the Triana! I completely overlooked mentioning it in this video! 🤦♀️ it’s really very similar to the pont neuf. Can’t wait to see your collab with Gene!!
That’s a good point! For this video, I considered the empreinte Pont Neuf tote to be a different bag, so I did not include it. The design of the empreinte tote is not the same as the epi Pont-Neuf. (There’s also the crossbody Pont 9 from a couple years ago, too! I think LV just needs to stop naming bags a variation of “Pont neuf” lol!) However, there actually *is* a version in DE canvas I was just made aware of called the Triana.
I think LV doesn‘t want to mention Coco Chanel on the website, cause the brands are competitors now 😁. I iused to own a vintage Pont-Neuf but unfortunately sold it (now I only own the Alma bb and pm - both in Epi leather)
I’m actually not sure what time the items come online! I’d check first thing in the morning! Maybe you can call Client services to preorder if you really want something specific
I do. Coach was actually the first designer brand I fell in love with! I don’t have the Revel, but several other Coach bags. They’re great quality for the price point.

So glad you enjoyed it!! 💕💕
Oooh I love starting with the history drama! I hadn't heard that before! LV has the coolest vintage/discontinued designs 💕
The Pont Neuf is a gorgeous bag 😍💛 I love how understated this is compared to the Alma too. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Sabrina! I love that it’s an “ if you know you know” bag.

I was worried about that too! But honestly I don’t mind using this as a handheld! It really surprised me when I got this bag. ❤️
Thank you for demonstrating the strap on the Pont neuf! I have been so curious. Yeah I agree that it's probably not a good idea❤

U love your Pont- Neuf. The color is perfect for all year

Well I’m looking at my bag agin I think the PN has just a bit more curve and the Triana is a smidge more boxy. But it is so close!!
Thanks so much for suggesting the Triana! I completely overlooked mentioning it in this video! 🤦♀️ it’s really very similar to the pont neuf. Can’t wait to see your collab with Gene!!
For me Alma BB forever ❤ I love that yellow 💛
Same here! Love our matching Almas !
I just found a blue empreninte leather with ghw in a preloved online store. I think you said it only came in Epi leather? It says Pont-Neuf Tote

The Alma is so chic in leather! I’d love to get one someday. thanks for watching 🥰❤️
Tomorrow is the big day. Going to buy 3 bags. When does lv release the new items 11am? Do you think anything will sell out right away?
I’m actually not sure what time the items come online! I’d check first thing in the morning! Maybe you can call Client services to preorder if you really want something specific
@@LulaWestLuxe I do want something specific but I have not yet seen the office picture of the color I want. So want to see that first before I buy.
I like them both 😍
Me too!! 😁
i want a Alma bag
It’s definitely worth looking into! You could also check out the Coach Revel bag, too. ❤️
@@LulaWestLuxe okay do you buy Coach bags
I do. Coach was actually the first designer brand I fell in love with! I don’t have the Revel, but several other Coach bags. They’re great quality for the price point.
