Description
Model History:
Launched in 2003, this model is part of the iconic collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami, orchestrated under the artistic direction of Marc Jacobs. The Monogram Multicolore, imagined by Murakami, modernized the traditional image of the house with a playful, artistic touch. This line, produced until 2015, marked an era and became one of the most coveted by collectors. The Alma bag, meanwhile, is a Louis Vuitton classic created in the 1930s, here revisited with bold originality.
Exterior Details:
The black Monogram Multicolor canvas is covered in a brightly colored print, contrasted by natural beige leather finishes that have developed a characteristic honey patina over time. The base is reinforced by a leather band studded with dome-shaped gold rivets, providing a style that’s both chic and rock. An external zipped pocket completes the front of the bag. Rounded leather handles make it comfortable to carry. Metal elements, including buckles and zipper, are gilded and engraved with Louis Vuitton logo.
Interior Details:
The interior of the bag is lined with soft beige microfiber, offering a velvety feel. It features a practical patch pocket for small items as well as a spacious main area, suitable for holding wallet, pencil case, phone and other everyday essentials. The discreet inner Louis Vuitton label guarantees its authenticity and provenance.
Product Condition:
The bag is in good vintage condition. The outer canvas retains its luster and color. The cowhide leather shows an even patina with some visible signs of use, particularly on the base and corners. The rivets and metal parts show slight traces of oxidation. The interior is clean, with slight darkening due to normal use, with no major snags or stains.
Care instructions:
Natural cowhide leather is sensitive to water and light, so avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or humidity. Clean the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth, and leave leather care to a professional if necessary. Store the bag in its original pouch to avoid exposure to dust and preserve the suppleness of the leather.
Why choose this product :
The Alma Multicolore bag from the Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami collaboration is a striking testimony to the dialogue between fashion and contemporary art. Its limited production run and bold aesthetic make it a sought-after collector’s item, while remaining perfectly functional. It’s an ideal choice for fans of 2000s fashion, iconic design or anyone looking to acquire a vintage piece with a strong visual identity.
