Louis Vuitton Artsy MM Monogram Review

The Louis Vuitton Artsy MM is a beautiful bag and I have recently purchased it. I thought it might be helpful to do a quick review. A few reasons why I chose this bag over the others: 1) I don't see it often 2) Lovely braided handle 3) Gorgeous shape 4) Good size for an everyday work bag. Only con - PATINA! The handle will darken with time, but I think this bag looks lovely with a darker handle. The great thing about monogram is that it goes with virtually any outfit. Here I am wearing it with a navy suit:


The bag is large, and it does look awkward when trying it on with nothing inside. I think this is why I have passed on it so many times in the Louis Vuitton store. With my few items inside, the really sits nicely on the side of the body. Here are some more photos:

The inside of the bag is what really sold me. SIX pockets and one large zippered pocket. I usually put my iPhones (one work and one personal) in the pockets and then put my keys in the zippered pocket. It also has a D-ring so I can attach my Louis Vuitton mini pochette (check out my mini pochette review HERE) there for added security. Apart from the organized interior, the bag comes with a gorgeous bag charm/key ring that hangs on the bag. You could attach keys or anything else on this and let it hang outside of the bag for decoration. A gorgeous bag - highly recommend.

  2. My Artsy is 2 1/2 years old and is not holding up. All four corners are starting to wear and small holes have formed. I took it back to the store for a "damage assessment" and was told the holes are from "abrasions"; essentially, they blamed me and said there was nothing they could do. These are not holes from abrasions, but, rather, from a design flaw; there's no other explanation when the same exact holes formed in all of the corners. All corners are stressing at the fold points in the fabric because the fabric isn't reinforced. This is the last LV bag I will ever buy.
