Very Good Condition
This vintage Louis Vuitton Artsy MM in black Monogram Empreinte leather with gold-tone hardware is presented in very good condition.

Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Monogram Empreinte Artsy MM Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 30 x 30 x 18 cm, this is a roomy everyday bag. It should comfortably hold daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, cosmetics pouch and other small necessities, with space for a few extras. Exact capacity depends on how you pack, so please refer to the Measurements on this page for the best guide.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. This style is designed with a single braided top handle and a handle drop of approximately 10 cm. It is usually worn close to the shoulder or carried in the crook of the arm, rather than with a long shoulder drop.
Q: Is the Empreinte Artsy MM considered heavy? A: This is one of the most common questions about the Artsy. The Empreinte leather version generally feels more substantial than lighter canvas styles, especially once packed. If you prefer soft, full-leather bags with presence, this model works beautifully; if you prefer very lightweight bags, it is best packed with just your essentials.
Q: Does this bag have a zip closure? A: No. This piece has an open top, which makes it easy to access your belongings quickly. If you prefer a more secure top closure, that is worth keeping in mind before purchasing.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The bag is lined in striped textile and includes internal pockets to help organise smaller items. This makes it practical for separating essentials such as keys, phone, cards and beauty items inside a larger hobo-style silhouette.
Q: What is the condition of this specific item? A: This bag is listed in very good condition with light traces of use. The exterior and interior are both noted as very good, and the hardware is described as shiny with light scratches.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: This item includes a keychain. If anything else is not listed in the Product information on this page, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: Does this bag have a serial or date code? A: Yes. The listed serial or date code for this item is CA0172.
Q: How should I care for Monogram Empreinte leather? A: For gentle care, wipe the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, solvents, oils, perfumes, creams and sanitisers on the surface. Try not to overfill the bag, and store it in a breathable, ventilated place away from heat and direct sunlight to help preserve its shape and finish.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by in-house experts through a multi-point assessment of materials, construction, hardware, stamps and serial or date code details. We stand behind the authenticity of the items we sell.
