An elegant choice for busy days, the Louis Vuitton Monogram Artsy MM transitions seamlessly from commute to client meetings and after-work plans. With a spacious interior and comfortable braided handle, it keeps essentials organised for city errands, office hours and weekend brunch.
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 Artsy MM? A: As a large hobo (around 41 × 32 × 22 cm), it comfortably carries everyday essentials such as a long wallet, make-up pouch, water bottle, A4 documents or a tablet, and small extras. Many owners also carry a 13-inch laptop; capacity varies with how you pack. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions of this item.
Q: Does it have a zip at the top? A: The Artsy MM has an open-top design without a top zip. Inside, it offers a secure zipped pocket plus multiple slip pockets to organise smaller items, and a key ring with hook for keys or a pouch.
Q: Is the Artsy MM still produced by Louis Vuitton? A: No. The Artsy MM is a discontinued style and is now found on the pre-owned market. Availability and pricing depend on condition, material and colourway.
Q: Is the handle comfortable on the shoulder? A: The single braided vachetta handle can feel firm at first, but it typically softens with use and develops a natural patina. The handle drop for this specific piece is listed under Measurements so you can gauge shoulder fit with layers.
Q: How is the interior laid out? A: The Artsy MM’s interior is lined in microfibre and features one zipped pocket and six flat pockets (three on each side), providing ample organisation for daily items.
Q: Does the bag have base feet? A: Yes, the Artsy MM has four protective metal feet at the base to help it stand and reduce wear when set down.
Q: What materials is this bag made of? A: This version combines Louis Vuitton’s Monogram coated canvas with natural vachetta leather trim and gold-tone hardware. The coated canvas is durable and easy to wipe clean, while vachetta leather will darken over time and is sensitive to water and oils.
Q: Where is the date code on an Artsy MM, and does it prove authenticity? A: On Artsy bags the date code is typically found inside one of the interior wall pockets—either stamped on the lining or on a small leather tab. A date code only indicates production details; it is not proof of authenticity. Every item at A Retro Tale is comprehensively authenticated by our experts using materials, stitching, stamps and hardware checks.
Q: Does it come with a long strap or cross-body option? A: No. The Artsy MM is designed to be carried by the single shoulder handle and does not include a detachable long strap.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under Accessories. For this piece, a dust bag and bag charm are included.
