- Why I HATE my LV Alma BB and why you might too! Pros & Cons!
This video was inspired by Isabelle Anh and her video "popular bags I've sold and why"
• Popular Bags I’ve SOLD...
In her video she states that she finds that videos about why people did not like a bag was more informative for those who are trying to make a purchase. And I totally agree! So here are the reasons why I hate my Louis Vuitton Alma BB. But also reasons why I loooove it. I hope this helps you make a decision on a bag purchase!

This is so entertaining lol. I love your energy while giving the review
Hehe thank you!! Glad you enjoyed 🥰
Thank you everyone for the love!! 💖 I'm so shocked at how well this video is doing! 🥰 I haven't posted in a while but will be recording a new video soon! Do yall have any suggestions or requests??
One of the most informative videos I’ve ever watched! So real. I loveeee u sm💗
Your personality is everything
Xo
Thank you so much!! That means a lot 🥰🥰. I’m so happy you enjoy the video!!! 💖💖

This honest review is exactly what I needed to see! I had wondered about how easy it is to get in and out of, so I think i need to go to the store and see if I still love it because it is sooo cute!
Thank you! It's always best to try it out in store! Really helps you get a feel of the bag.
Do you know if the Medium LV agenda fit inside the Alma BB
More people need to make these kinds of videos!! Thank you so much for this :D I think the thing is that ... when we’re in the store oohing and aahing over the lovely bags in the moment, we never really know how they will work in real life. I always test whether my stuff fits into a bag I’m considering purchasing, but I rarely start carrying the bag with my stuff in it and walking around the store. Maybe we should all do that?
This is so true!! I usually put my stuff in, try it on and stand in the mirror! So I never get a feel of how it's like to carry around! Such a good idea
I’m so glad somebody finally addressed that as a crossbody, YOU CAN’T OPEN THE BAG!!! The straps get in the way! It’s annoying and I’ve debated on taking it back, but every time I see it on me, I fall back in love
I know what you mean!!!! The bag is just so classic and pretty! 🥰🥰
This amzlv tote is beautifully colored, very sturdy and the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I look forward to joining my rotationhand-pink-waving
I totally agree with you about it being useless as a crossbody! I don’t have the Alma but have considered it in the past and one reason why I haven’t bought it yet is because I tend to wear crossbody bags…but recently I’ve started loving top handle bags 😄
I love crossbody bags and was convinced that this was going to be my next bag... LOVING your honesty!!! And so entertaining!
Thank you!! 💖 What did you decide? Are you still going with the alma bb?
Mikey Chang I actually just went to try the alma bb on today and kind of fell in love with it!!! It is so gorgeous in person!!! 😍 BUT ended up getting the Gucci soho disco instead since it’s been on my mind for a while. Totally different bags you just can’t compare the two. I may need to add the alma bb to my collection in the future though since I am wanting a small LV in DE! ❤️❤️
I was so surprised by the amzlv crossbody bag. love it!
Such a true review 👍 I have exactly the same issues when I wear it as crossbody 🤦🏻♀️
It is so annoying as a crossbody right?? But it's still so gorgeous and classic!! 😍
Thank you for this unique review! I have been thinking of the Alma bb in Noir Epi, but I would want to use it often as a crossbody. Gives me a lot to think about!
I saw the alma pm in noir epi when I got this bag and its so pretty in that leather!! I find it okay when I have it crossbody with the bag behind me. But as someone with anxiety I'm constantly worried about someone reaching into it!
I love your videos and energy Mikey! :D you just gained a new subscriber xx
Thank you so kuch for your support!! 💖💖💖
This video is on point. Everyone’s video is so positive making it so hard for me to choose a bag. You’ve made my shopping experience easier because this is off my list lol.
Thank you for this review! Informational and entertaining! I just order it from online! I was considering in getting between Alma BB and Croisette, but I ended up with Alma BB! I like to use it as a crossbody bag. How do you think about Alma BB and Croisette?
I think they are both soooo beautiful!! But the alma bb has been around forever and is timeless and classic!
Where did u get the pearl strap from .. I’m loving it 😊
So glad I stumbled across your video! Love your attitude & energy! 🤩
Thank you very much!! 💖💖💖
Honestly LOVED this video! Your style is spot on! Thinking of picking this baby up tomorrow and swapping out my multi pochette. Thank you for sharing!! xx
Thank you! 💖💖 The alma bb is definitely much more classic than the multi pochette!
this is so fun to watch 🤣 love your review, mikey! ❤️
Thank you very much!!! 😆😆😆
This was so informative! You’re right, it gives you a much better understanding of the bag when people list the things they don’t like about it. Love it!
Thank you very much!! 🥰🥰
This is the most realistic, unbiased review on the alma bb.
Thank you! Trying to keep it real. 😁
Same feelings here, and same for any bag with that silhouette. And to add to the pros, that can be used as a weapon 🤣
LOLOL! Definitely can be used as a weapon in a pinch 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for this honest review!! I’m buying my first lux bag for my 21st birthday (I can’t travel due to COVID🤧) I have been watching numerous LV videos to choose my first bag!!
Th alma bb would be a great first bag!! It can be dressed up or down which makes it super versatile for many occasions 💖. Happy 21st birthday!!
Thank you for stating the pros and cons! Super helpful! Also love your personality!!
Finally some real review. Thank you for making this video,. It was a great help. Cheers!!
Thank you so much!! Glad you found it helpful 🥰🥰
Hi there!
Can you please tell me where did you get those pearl stripe from? I saw in the others videos too. Thanks xoxo
Hi!! I got mine on amazon 😊. You can probably also find them on Etsy and maybe eBay!
My zipper is very smooth, I have 4 Alma bb’s. I’ve noticed the quality of the zippers have declined since I bought mine 6 years ago. My recent Alma I had to try 4 of them at the store to find one with the best zipper. Quality has gone down in LV. I also bought a separate strap for my Alma bb DE, so I can wear it as a shoulder bag which is better than a cross body. Great review 👍
Ohhh love the idea of it as a shoulder bag! Did you use a thicker strap?
I bought a slightly thicker LV leather strap, it was expensive but worth it because it's adjustable. The Alma bb looks great worn as a shoulder bag. I sometimes use my strap from my SpeedyB also.
Thank you so much for being the ONLY person to give me an honest review of the alma bb bag. You’re the absolute best.
Would you suggest an Alma bb or speedy 25 for travel?
25
Well done. I appreciate all the insight. I really don't like when bags are difficult to use as crossbody bags. Thank you so much. Very informative
Thank you so much! Glad I was able to help 💖💖
I loved every second of this video! I get mine next week! So exited thanks for the review!
Omg congrats on the new bag! You'll love it!
Thank you for the review! Loved it and loved you!!! I’m looking for a Louis Vuitton crossbody and was considering this one but I think it’s a no. I appreciate the honesty!
Thank you so much love!! 💖💖 If you're looking for a crossbody with similar vibes to the alma, perhaps try the croisette! It's super cute and made to carry as a crossbody. I was also considering the Locky BB when I was purchasing my alma bb but the locky didn't quite fit my things!
I love how you review this bag!!:) Hello from Cebu, Philippines!
Thanks for your video! It was really informative especially the point that it is not a crossbody bag! That was one of the reasons I was considering this bag because that’s how I really like to carry my bag. And I thought this bag could give me flexible to use the top handle if I felt like switching it up. The demonstration of how the bag is hard to get into as a crossbody was priceless. I haven’t seen any mention this issue at all. Wow. You have given me something to think about. Thanks again for sharing. Great video!
Thank you very much!! It really is an issue opening it when wearing crossbody. Perhaps look at the croisette? It gives me classic alma vibes but is actually made as a crossbody!
Great fun video! I am thinking to buy one soon but still debating on black epi leather, rose ballerine epi leather, or damier Ebene. I was worried about the length of the strap being too long for me but I guess it won’t matter since it looks uncomfortable wearing it that way.
Those are all such great options!! It's so pretty in the epi leather too 😍.
Hahaha loved watching this! Thank you for going into detail. It helps sooo much !!!
I love your review,love your energy! 💖
Thank goodness i saw this video before buying a crossbody bag. Thanks for this review!
So true i have the same issue, still i love how it looks but never wore them again as crossbody, I’m still considering to buy a new adjustable strap tho, don’t know if it’s worth it, i still have the strap unused.
I think a shorter shoulder strap would be a great option!
New subbie here!!! Thank you for the honest review I’ve been thinking of getting the Alma BB from their online shop but after seeing your review I think I need to go to the store try it if I want to purchase it 😊
Thank you for subscribing!! 💖 I always think it’s best to try it on in store if you can. It gives you a better feel for the bag
I like the way how you presented the pros and cons - it’s quite interesting 🤩
...so true about opening the bag whilst wearing it crossbody. Any thoughts on this vs ysl toy loulou? Btw love your dress x
Thank you so much! The toy loulou really doesn't fit much so I wouldn't put them in the same category. The alma is also much more timeless and classic!
Subscribed! Love your review. I was thinking of getting this bag but now I’m thinking twice lol 😂
Love love love this honest review.
Thank you ❤️❤️
Can you please tell us where your lovely dress is from xx
Thabk you so much! This dress is from Azalea, it's a local boutique here in San Francisco 😊
Loved your energy...merci..Im thinking of having Alma BB.. since I have already in PM... so true ...it is an Iconic Bag..and it is a must have of you love LV bags.
It is cute to see in cross body bag, but hard to open... why not try it just a shoulder bag also nice and super feminine ..👍😍
Thank you! I totally agree that the alma is simply iconic. I think it would be cute as a shoulder bag! The nano alma is super cute as a crossbody though! And it doesn't have handles so getting in and out of it is easy
I love this!! And you!!! I am loving your hair as well. Just subscribed!
Thank you so much for the support!! Appreciate it 💖
Mikey Chang ❤️❤️❤️
I finally got to resume watching this video. Yes!!! I agree about this not meant to be a crossbody bag! “Liars!!!”😅😅😅You’re seriously so wonderful!! Love the Pearl chain!
LOL. I feel duped by all the youtubers!! 🤣
Mikey Chang Hee Hee!!!
Thanks for the review!!!! I’m saving money for this bag 😍😍😍
Yass! So exciting!! You’re gonna love it! 🥰
Thanks so much for sharing this! I was considering this as my first luxury bag purchase but it just seems too cumbersome for my lifestyle!
Thabk you for watching!! Glad I helped you make a decision on it!
love the video. Very informative , you helped me stop buying an alma bb and instead i bought a speedy 25
thank you
I was looking to get the BB to use as a cross body. You mentioned things I hadn't thought of. Excellent review.
Thank you very much! Glad I was able to help! 😁😁
Came across your channel while looking for reviews on alma bb vs cluny mini. Thanks for this honest review that nobody else had. Now im sold on a cluny.
I followed because of your aura! I LOOOOOOVE your vibe ♥️💘❤🦋♥️
Everything you said is SO TRUE! 🤣 I sold mine.... but I am going to repurchase because I love it so much and miss it....
LOL! I totally know what you mean!! I love this bag too but it's sometimes really annoying! But it's soooo pretty
This has to be the best and most informative review for this bag I have seen!!! You are super entertaining too.
I love your energy. Gorgeous! Subscribed!
Thank you so much love 😘💖
Thanks for making my decision easy, I am purchasing! Loved your video and you!
Thank you so much! 💖💖 Glad I was able to help. You make a decision! 🥰🥰
Thank you for an honest review! And it was fun to watch :)
I completely agree with you about alma bb . For last 3 year every time I go to LV store planed to bring alma bb home . Looked the cheap straps and I end up bring differences bag home . Right now I place the alma bb in my shopping cart , still not sure is this the bag for me or not ? Thanks for your video.
Just do it!! You could always get a different strap later on that works better for you. The bag itself is gorgeous 🥰
This my first time watching your video, im hooked! Great energy! New subscriber here 👋
Thank you so much for subscribing and supporting!! 💖💖💖
Thank you for your honest opinion..I was minutes away from purchasing one and you made me change my mind for very good reasons...so thank you for saving me from making a bad choice..
Glad I was able to help!! Have you decided on another bag?
@@ThiccMikey yes, I got the pochet metis in the reverse monogram..:)
Love that bag!! Congrats!
Thank you so much, finally there is someone pointing it out, that the Alma bb is so annoying to wear as a crossbody bag, I have one in epi, I love it with some much hates when I wear it crossbody, the top handles bouncing against my hip when I put them down, and digging into my waist when I put them up! Moreover the bottom is too wide and hanging out too much from my body, but I still love it it is just so cute and classy and chic, it is much a creature that can bring all the elements into one.
Thank you! I totally agree with everything you said! It really is just so uncomfortable as a crossbody! But it’s just sooooo cute! 🥰
Thank you much for this review. You just confirmed all my doubts about this bag. I'm not gonna buy this bag. I'm probably gonna go for the croisette cross body. I love your honesty and energy. Lol
I loooooove your attitude and personality. Also quite helpful review compared to the other ones I've sifted through. Thank you!! May I ask how tall you are? I'm quite petite so I'm unsure whether to get the BB or PM.
Thank you this is a great review. The top on strap is priceless.
Excellent! Excellent video. All your “cons” are exactly what I was thinking- especially about the crossbody part! But no one said it. Lol❤️ I want this bag too for the same timeless reason 😊 Fabulous job.
Thank you so much! Glad I was able to help figure out your cons! 😆 Are you going to get it?
Mikey Chang Trying to..been saving up for it! Still working on it! 😉
@@grouchygurl5466 I believe in you!! Gives you time to try it on in store and decide and consider.
I love your sincere review about this bag. This is new information I haven’t heard anyone talk about. Thank you! Love your channel so entertaining. New subscriber here💗💗
Thank you for watching and of course subscribing 💖! Glad you enjoyed the video and found some new info on the bag 💖💖
With all the cons you mentioned, i’m not sure why this is still in my wishlist. I still love it. 😂 super enjoyed watching your video. ❤️
This is why I love my not authentic handbags. The real deal bags come with their flaws so I'll keep my money. I love your personality your so entertaining to watch 🤣❤️
This is really helpful! Such a classic piece.
I'm here from bag chat and I spy the famous rainbow kensington 🤣 love the video 😍 thinking of getting this and loved hearing the cons xx
Teehee thank you! The infamous rainbow Kensington. 🤣 I need to be their spokesperson already
This was fun to watch.
I'm actually debating between two bags! Which bag do you think I should get, LV Alma BB or YSL Mini Camera bag?
Ohh this is a fun one! I actually have both bags. Are you talking about the mini lou camera bag? The one with the chain? 🥰
@@ThiccMikey Yes, the mini Lou camera bag with the chain. I have a good handful of Louis Vuitton bags, but they’re all big (three ~!!!~ Speedys). I have a additional three LV’s, medium sized. But I bought my fist YSL, Toy Lou Lou, and the quality is amazing, especially for the price!!!
I have been loving ysl too!! I personally love my mini lou 🥰. It fits significantly less than the alma bb though!! But way more comfy as a crossbody. I can film a comparison video if you'd like!!
Thanks for this review! Informational and entertaining! I was considering in getting this bag but now not so sure. I just subbed! 💕
Thank you so much love!! 💖💖 Were there any other bags you were considering?
Mikey Chang thanks for replying! 😊 I have a Neverfull and a Neonoe. But I want a bag in the Damier ebene so it’s between the alma bb or the speedy b 25. What do you think?
@@lilmommacora682 I think the alma bb!! The speedy 25 and alma bb are kind of similar in size but the alma has the added benefit of being able to be dressed up for date night and events! The speedy is a little more casual. I love it though! I have the 30b!
You're so funny 😆 I enjoyed your video a lot :) I got my Alma BB monogram yesterday and so excited for using it!!! It's my first LV bag 😊
Congrats on your new bag! Enjoy! 💖💖
Thanks for a honest review! ❤️
I don’t use the strap of my Alma bb that’s why didn’t encounter that issue, thanks for sharing, nice video and very helpful! 😘
Haha then it's not a problem for you! 😁😁 Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video 💖
Sound is much better. You are getting better n better. Awesome 💕
Thank you!! 💖 I think it's time for me to get a mic... Maybe some lighting? 🤣
Thanks for keeping it real! A very informative video. I love it cos it’s super cute but now I’m reconsidering the Alma BB cos I do want to use it as a cross body sometimes and would totally hate the awkward ding donging it does.
Awkward dingdonging is my new favorite way to describe its jiggly movment!! 😂😂😂 I'm dying laughing over here!! I suggest the croisette for an alma bb feel! It's actually designed as a crossbody with the hooks in the proper place!
Ooo I will check out the croisette. Thanks!
Very detailed review..thank you 🙏🏻❤️great job
Thank you very much!! ❤️❤️
This review is so informative. This is what I’m concerning about getting this bag
Glad I was able to help!! 😁😁
This is 4th time watching the video. After watching the 3rd time, I pulled the trigger and bought it knowing not to expect too much from the bag using it as a crossbody. I now owned the bag for 3 weeks and you DID nailed everything about the pros and cons. Because of your review, I bought the Alma and LOVE LOVE LOVE it for the same reason as yours. So thank you! And you're freaking CUTE as well. :)
OMG I was thinking about purchasing this bag but it;s been out of stock. You are 100% right. I though about that fact that the D-rings are opposit and close together so it cant possibly lay correctly on the hip. Also the bottom is kind of wide for it to be on a hip. I am 5'1" so with out an adjustable strap it may be way too long. You mentioned everything I was thinking. Thank you for the insight. I may look for something else. By the way if my son ever decided to carry a bag (probably not) he can buy yours because you both have the same initials. Good for you being you! You're a brave soul.
Thank you very much love! Your son has an amazing Mama! 💖💖
And yes the strap it comes with will probably be SO LONG M B
hi, where can I get the pearl strap????
Hihi! I ordered mine on amazon 😄
so is it a good idea to buy it as my first designer bag?
Yes! I think it's amazing as a first bag! So versatile. Casual or dressy. Timeless and classic.
I bought the crosseite instead of the alma bb and I love it !
Love that bag too! I think it gives the same vibes as the alma bb!
Excellent points and thanks for helping my decision not to get this one easier!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes. The cons u mentioned is the reason why I chose the croissette over the alma bb.
The croisette is such a great option!!
What a fun video! Thanks :) Been choosing between the alma bb and the YSL toy loulou but drawing towards this more because of your review!! :)
Love this and your personality. Thanks for sharing ❤️ 🥰
Awww hehe. Thank you very much loveeee 🥰🥰🥰
Totally agreed!!! Hated the strap. Sold my alma bb because it's just way too long on me. 😭
The strap is kind of useless!!!
Such a helpful review! Definitely things to consider
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed 💖
Yes thanks for the entertaining yet honest review. You do have some valid points there. I was in the LV store today and wanting to get the alma bb but they didn’t have it in the Damier. But seeing your review makes me rethink the purchase. Thanks again.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😁😁. Do you have another bag in mind?
Haha. Omg. My husband went ahead and ordered it for me thru customer service. Apparently they damier bb is sold out everywhere! They will ship it to our nearest LV store and we will take a look once it arrives. Will let you know. 😃
@@jenjen7429 omg that is so exciting!! What a great husband!
Very informative. Thank you 💗
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Omg 😱 I just returned my alma bb yesterday for the same reasons you mentioned😑 but now I kinda want it back...I’m so hopeless 😩. I love your review. Thanks for sharing.
If you like the alma bb vibes but want a crossbody, I suggest taking a look at the croisette! Thank you for watching! 💖
Mikey Chang thanks for your suggestion. I ordered the alma bb again yesterday. Lol 😂 it’s just so classic and cute I have to add it back to my collection . Besides; then I have a perfect reasons to get another crossbody bag lol 😆
@@saringuyen4789 LOL!! I am so totally looking at the croisette too for the same reason 😬😬. I can't get rid of my alma bb cuz it's sooooo classic and cute.
Very helpful video Mikey!
Thank you for sharing! Appreciate the thorough review :)
Thank you very much babe! 💖💖
I subscribed just cause I felt your energy on the strap lol 😍💕
Hehe thank you! Guess I reaaaally don't like the strap 😆😆😆. Thank you for subscribing! 💖💖
Thank you for helping me to not waste my money on this bag it’s beautiful but I like my bags to be versatile
Love your video🤣🤣you made me laugh out loudly, I am considering to buy one soon but still hesitate to buy in damier or epi. 🤔
Hehe thank you!! 💖💖 I think the bag is gorgeous in both materials!!! Now it just boils down to what color you’re looking for. 😁 Damier is a neutral brown but you can get some fun colors in the epi!
Hey Mikey, new subscriber here. Love your Vlog and keep up the good work. Your personality is awesome.
Im a NEW SUBBIE! I purchased the Alma BB in epi leather and I returned it. For some reason I didn't like the epi leather. I'm thinking of purchasing this handbag in Damier Ebene.
