Vintage Louis Vuitton 1995 Alma PM Handbag — Medium Size A beautifully preserved piece of Louis Vuitton history. This Alma PM dates from September 1995, featuring the iconic dome silhouette and structured base that has made it a house staple since its creation by Gaston-Louis Vuitton in 1934. Dimensions * Width: 32cm * Height: 23cm * Depth: 16cm Authenticity and Date Code The date code 'VI0955' is embossed inside the slip pocket, consistent with the production placement for vintage Almas. The 'VI' prefix indicates it was made in France, and '0955' confirms a production date of September 1995. Condition Excellent condition for its age. The canvas has a honey-coloured patina, with no significant water spots or blackening and no cracks to the coated canvas. The vachetta leather trim and handles have developed the rich caramel colour and slight darkening that naturally occurs with age and use on authentic LV leather—a feature of a genuine vintage piece, not a flaw. The underside of the base shows some richer marks on the leather—exactly the kind of natural, unique patina that results from untreated LV leather ageing beautifully over time, and prized by collectors as proof of authenticity and character. The hardware retains a warm brass tone without major tarnishing, and the zipper runs perfectly. The bag has been carefully stored with stuffing to help maintain its structured shape. Market Value Vintage 1995 Alma PMs in comparable condition typically have a resale value between £550 and £850, reflecting the persistent demand for this classic style. This is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully aged piece of Louis Vuitton craftsmanship with over 30 years of history! Design Details Crafted in the classic LV monogram canvas, the bag features a smooth double-zip closure with brass hardware and the signature LV zip pull, rolled vachetta leather top handles, and the structured, self-standing base the Alma is known for.
