Wow! I have the Artsy Empreinte that's in excellent condition. I am going to use it today. You and your mother had bad luck with this line. Many people don't have problems with their Artsy Empreinte like the Artsy Monogram; I guess there is always one.My mom had an dark blue emp Artsy that started cracking on the braided handle. I agree that there were lots of complaints about Lumi, but I've also read complaints from owners of the speedy emp. But like you said, there are always going to be defective bags regardless. My Lumi was my first and last emp. leather bag. Nowadays, I rather pay a little bit more for taurillon leather. It is so much thicker and the craftsmanship of the Parnassea collection is top notch.
