About this Item

Paris, France
An Amarante Monogram Vernis Alma GM Handbag with Gold-Tone Hardware
29 by 39 by 20cm

Notes

Includes dust bag and third party authentication.

The Alma is one of Louis Vuitton’s most recognisable handbag designs, introduced in the 1930s and reputedly commissioned by Coco Chanel. Its structured silhouette, with clean lines and a gently rounded dome, reflects the Art Deco aesthetic of the period. Over the decades, it has remained a house staple, continually reimagined while retaining its unmistakable form. Here rendered in glossy Monogram Vernis leather, the bag appears in Amarante, a deep aubergine shade that reveals subtle undertones in changing light. The high-shine finish accentuates the embossed monogram pattern, while polished hardware and dual top handles lend classic refinement.

Disclaimer: While every effort has been made to accurately describe and verify the authenticity of this item, ultimate responsibility for determining authenticity and condition rests with the buyer, as more fully set out in Strauss & Co's Conditions of Business.
