Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Empreinte Artsy MM Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 44 x 33 x 19 cm, this is a roomy everyday hobo bag. It should comfortably hold daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch and a few extra items. For bulkier items, we recommend comparing them with the Measurements listed on this page for the best fit.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes. The Artsy MM is designed to be worn on the shoulder using its single braided top handle. This piece has an approximate handle drop of 11 cm, so the fit may feel closer or looser depending on your frame and what you carry inside.
Q: Is the Louis Vuitton Artsy MM considered a practical everyday bag? A: Yes, the Artsy MM is widely loved for everyday use because it combines a generous interior with a relaxed, elegant shape. Buyers often ask about comfort and weight with this model, and as with most larger leather bags, it may feel heavier once filled, so it is best suited to those who like carrying more than just the essentials.
Q: What is Monogram Empreinte leather? A: Monogram Empreinte is Louis Vuitton’s supple embossed leather, featuring the house monogram pressed into the surface. It offers a softer and more luxurious feel than coated canvas while still being durable enough for regular use. This bag is presented in black Empreinte leather with gold-tone hardware.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: To help preserve the leather and shape, avoid overfilling the bag, keep it away from prolonged heat, direct sunlight and moisture, and store it in a cool, ventilated place when not in use. Use only a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth for light surface cleaning, and avoid harsh commercial cleaners on the leather.
Q: Does this bag have a zip closure? A: No. This Artsy MM features an open top rather than a zip closure. Inside, it has a striped textile lining with internal pockets to help keep smaller items organised.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This piece is listed in very good condition. The exterior shows light trace of use with minor marks, the interior has light trace of use with minor stains, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As this is a vintage item, gentle signs of wear are to be expected and form part of its character.
Q: What is included with this item, and does it have a date code? A: No additional items are included with this bag. The listed date code is CA0197, which is part of Louis Vuitton’s production marking system used on many older pieces. Date codes indicate production information rather than serving as a unique serial number.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully reviewed for authenticity by in-house experts. This includes checks of materials, construction, hardware, stamps and production details, so you can shop this vintage piece with confidence.
