LOUIS VUITTON Alma Monogram M51130 Bag 1996

Louis Vuitton Alma PM (M51130) in Monogram canvas with natural vachetta top handles, trim and double-zip closure. The structured 30 × 24 × 16 cm dome rests on a smooth leather base and opens to a dark-brown textile lining with one slip pocket for phone or keys.

Condition AB — canvas remains crisp; vachetta shows an even honey patina. Leather base has only light wear consistent with careful pre-owned use. Interior is clean, free of stains or tears, and hardware bears minor hairline scratches on close inspection.

Includes the original 1996 purchase receipt, adding provenance and collectability.

Pre-loved, 100 % authentic and sourced directly from Japan, this piece has been verified with Entrupy. Your purchase ships free Australia-wide via fully insured FedEx Priority; we video-record each step of packing and provide end-to-end tracking to maintain a secure chain of custody from our showroom to your door.

This piece is pre-owned and preloved, so mild signs of use are to be expected. We’ve photographed and described every notable mark to ensure you know exactly what you’re getting before you buy.

Why do we keep gravitating to the Louis Vuitton Alma in Monogram canvas—especially this 1996 example? First, heritage: the Alma’s rigid dome shape dates to a 1930s travel case designed for Coco Chanel, but production models like the M51130 anchor the modern LV handbag line. Owning one with its original 1996 receipt puts you within reach of that lineage while confirming early-series authenticity—a “paper trail” increasingly rare on the secondary market.

Second, build quality. Monogram canvas from the ’90s is known for a slightly thicker feel and deeper print contrast than today’s batches, and the vachetta leather has aged into a rich honey patina that boutique pieces can’t replicate. The smooth leather base (free of metal feet) shows only light marks, proving the bag was used with care not neglect. Inside, the dark-brown lining is clean and intact, and the single slip pocket still holds its shape.

Condition AB means you gain lived-in character without structural compromise—hardware hairlines and gentle corner rub, nothing more.

Third, versatility. With a 30 × 24 × 16 cm footprint, the Alma carries a long wallet, sunglasses case and small cosmetics pouch while keeping a refined silhouette for meetings or dinner. Dual zip pulls let you open just one side for quick phone access, and the structured profile stands upright when you set it down. Add a wide after-market strap and you have hands-free carry without altering the bag.

Finally, sustainability and value. Buying preloved keeps durable coated canvas and brass in circulation and sidesteps both LV price hikes and the environmental cost of new production. An Entrupy certificate plus the 1996 receipt deliver confidence, while the classic Monogram pattern ensures styling longevity.
