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 size is the Louis Vuitton Monogram Artsy MM Bag? A: This bag measures approximately 42 x 32 x 20 cm, making it a roomy everyday hobo style. It will typically fit daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, sunglasses, keys, a cosmetic pouch, and a small tablet or notebook. The body is spacious, but the top opening is more tapered than the base, so bulkier items can be a tighter fit.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. This model is designed with a single braided leather handle and has an approximate handle drop of 12 cm. It is usually worn on the shoulder or carried in the crook of the arm, although the fit can feel closer under heavier coats or knitwear.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: No. This Artsy MM is designed with one braided top handle and does not include a detachable shoulder strap.
Q: Is the Artsy MM a practical everyday bag? A: Yes, it is popular as an everyday bag thanks to its generous interior, soft hobo silhouette, and comfortable single-handle design. Do keep in mind that it is a larger style, so if it is packed heavily it can feel weighty over time.
Q: How is the inside organised? A: This bag has a beige microfiber lining with internal pockets, which helps keep smaller essentials separate from the main compartment. It is well suited to organising items such as keys, cards, lip products, or a phone without everything sitting loose at the bottom.
Q: What does the code GI0112 mean? A: GI0112 is a Louis Vuitton date code. It indicates that the bag was made in Spain in the first week of 2012. Date codes help identify the place and time of production, but they are not a standalone proof of authenticity on their own.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing comes with no additional items. Please refer to the product information on this page for exactly what is included with the purchase.
Q: What condition is this particular bag in? A: This piece is listed in good condition. The exterior shows minor wear on the corners, the interior has stains and marks, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. These signs are consistent with careful pre-owned use and are worth reviewing in the product images before purchase.
Q: How should I care for Monogram canvas and the leather handle? A: Wipe the canvas gently with a soft damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, oils, perfume, alcohol-based products, and excessive moisture. The leather handle and trim should be kept dry and away from direct heat or prolonged sunlight. It is also best not to overfill the bag, as that helps preserve its shape over time.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by in-house experts using detailed checks of materials, construction, hardware, stamps, and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of the items we sell and are happy to provide additional product information if needed.
