Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Monogram Empreinte Artsy MM Bag? A: The Artsy MM is designed as a roomy everyday shoulder bag. It generally suits daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, a cosmetics pouch and other small necessities. Because a slouchy hobo shape can sit differently depending on how it is packed, we recommend comparing your items with the listed measurements of 32 x 29 x 18 cm.
Q: Is the Artsy MM comfortable for daily use? A: Many buyers choose the Artsy MM as an everyday bag because of its spacious shape and easy shoulder carry. That said, Empreinte leather gives the bag more structure and weight than lighter canvas styles, so it can feel heavier when fully packed. If you prefer a lighter carry, it is best not to overfill it.
Q: Does this bag come with a long detachable strap? A: No. This model is designed to be carried with its single braided handle rather than a detachable long strap. The listed drop is approximately 14 cm, so it typically sits best on the shoulder with light to medium layers.
Q: Is Monogram Empreinte leather durable? A: Yes. Monogram Empreinte is a soft, embossed leather that is appreciated for combining a luxurious feel with practical day-to-day wear. It is generally considered lower-maintenance than more delicate untreated leathers and will develop character over time with normal use.
Q: How should I care for and store this bag? A: To help preserve the shape, avoid over-packing the bag. When not in use, store it in a breathable dust bag or felt cover in a ventilated area, away from direct heat and prolonged sunlight. For routine care, a gentle wipe with a soft cloth is usually enough, while harsh solvents and heavy home treatments are best avoided.
Q: What condition is this particular piece in? A: This bag is listed in Very Good condition. The exterior shows light traces of use with slightly worn corners, the interior shows light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece includes a key ring. Everything included with the bag is stated in the product information on this page.
Q: What does the date code CA0155 tell me? A: Louis Vuitton date codes are production codes rather than unique serial numbers. This code follows the pre-microchip format used before Louis Vuitton phased date codes out, and it indicates a 2015 production date. As with any Louis Vuitton piece, a date code should be considered alongside the overall materials, hardware, stamps and craftsmanship rather than on its own.
