THE LOUIS VUITTON ALMA EXPLAINED (Was it really designed for Coco Chanel?)

The Louis Vuitton Alma is one of the most popular bags. It is a model which you basically cannot escape – it seems to be everywhere – in its signature brown Monogram Canvas or Damier pattern or in many other versions. Maybe you are even tired of it. But did you know that this bag may actually have a close link to Coco Chanel? Yes, you heard right, this bag may have been designed for Mademoiselle Chanel herself. Can you imagine, this would then be one of the oldest “collabs” we could think about? In this video, I am going to discuss this rumour and I will try if I can confirm it. And, spoiler alert, we will also see links to yet another huge brand (Hermès). Let’s take a closer look at the details.
