i just got off the phone with an sa at the natick, ma store. she said that the artsy gm is very large, while the mm is a great everyday size. she said that the strap is very similar to the looping strap- just like it, in fact. hard, round strap. i hope not- i think this could be 'the one' bag for me- but if the strap is uncomfortable...

Everything I've read about concern for the artsy has been about the strap....being very hard. I read a post that I found very informative that said that even though pictures may market it as a shoulder bag, it is really meant to be a hand held bag. I love the way the bag looks, but it seems really big for a hand held bag, and I really don't think it would be comfortable over the shoulder. Kind of a bummer, but maybe when I see it IRL it will work....I hope so, I really like the bag!

I tried it on two days ago and didn't find it that hard, granted it was empty. It appeared more flexible or fairly easy to bend and I was told it would soften over time as you wear the bag. Who know's, I'm picking mine up today and will see what it feels like with my actual stuff in it.

I think the Artsy is a bag you need to see IRL before deciding whether or not to get it. I was IN LOVE when I saw it in the magazine, but then after hearing all of the negatives with the looping strap I wasn't sure. Then, my SA showed it to me on Tuesday and I instantly bought one. AAdams we are going to have to start an Artsy club soon! I'm picking mine up in 30 minutes!
