Create accountA 1934 Art Deco design that only took the name Alma, after a Paris bridge, decades later.
Origin
Gaston-Louis Vuitton designed the structured top-handle bag in 1934, first calling it the Squire. It translated the house's trunk-making into a handbag, was renamed more than once over the years, and only formally became the Alma in 1992, after Place de l'Alma in Paris.
Design
Its bold, symmetrical lines reflect the 1930s Art Deco movement, finished with the rounded rolled-leather handles the house calls Toron. Toron is the name for that twisted leather handle.

Good to know
An often-repeated story holds that Gabrielle Chanel commissioned an early version of the shape as a custom order in the 1920s, then later agreed to let Louis Vuitton produce it for the public. It is widely told, though hard to confirm.
