Created in 1934 by Gaston-Louis Vuitton with a strong Art Deco spirit, it is one of the few bags from the house that doesn't need a monogram to be recognized: its domed shape is enough. In Épi leather — the dyed and textured leather whose parallel lines evoke wheat ears — it achieves an additional degree of elegance: sober, structured, timeless. The Cipango Gold color, discontinued from the collection since the 2000s, is one of the most sought-after by collectors of vintage Alma Épi. This warm golden caramel, inspired by the medieval name for Japan, has a warmth and sophistication that current colors struggle to match. This example dates from 1996 — almost thirty years old, and in remarkable condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 0.875rem; color: #444; line-height: 1.75; margin-bottom: 28px;\"\u003eVery good overall condition — clean Épi leather, gilt brass hardware in good condition, smooth zip closure, clean suedette interior without odor, slight signs of prior use consistent with A- grade, documented in photos.
