The Vision
The Alma was designed by Gaston-Louis Vuitton in 1934, reportedly inspired by the curves of the Paris metro. The Vernis iteration transforms the structured silhouette into something lacquered and chromatic. In midnight blue, this Alma BB absorbs the room and reflects nothing back. A collector's choice.
The Provenance
Manufactured in France in January 2017. Date code NO0177 is present inside the piece, confirming maison provenance. The patent leather surface retains its deep gloss with only minimal wear at the base corners. Interior is clean with one slip pocket.
The Dialogue
Is Monogram Vernis difficult to maintain?
Patent leather requires less daily care than uncoated leather. Avoid prolonged contact with dark or dyed fabrics, which can transfer colour to the surface. Wipe clean with a dry cloth; store away from direct heat and light.
Does the BB size work as a crossbody?
Yes. The included detachable strap drops 56 cm, making it comfortable as a crossbody or shoulder bag depending on preference.
What is the date code NO0177?
Louis Vuitton date codes encode the factory and production period. NO identifies a French atelier; 0177 places production in January 2017. It is an authentication marker, not a serial number.
The Care
Store in a dust bag away from dark garments to prevent colour transfer. The Vernis surface is resilient but sensitive to heat, which can cloud the lacquer. Keep away from direct sunlight and high temperatures. Clean with a dry cloth; do not use solvents or conditioners on patent leather.
