Dear Artsy owners,
After lusting for an Artsy in Monogram for a long time, I finally made the desicion to buy one in september 2014. I was familiar with all the Artsy problems out there with cracking of canvas, cracking of vachetta handle and the brake in period. But, I gave the new Artsy a chance simply because I think it's the most beautiful bag I know. I'm embarrassed to say that I did not use her because of terrible weather and because of the white handle, I wanted to save her for spring. I did take her out of the dustbag from time to time, just to admire the bag. And every time I saw dustlike particles in the corners and where the rings touch the canvas. After having her for four months, it had evolved and was quite visible also all the way along the opening of the bag. It's like a sort of peeling of the coating on the canvas. I will attache pictures. LV took it back in January 2015 and said I could get a new one or a credit note. I wanted to give the Artsy in Monogram a new chance (already have it in Empreinte as well), but I had to wait for a new delivery. I got a new one this month, and of all the three I looked at, there was a tendency of dust on the corners, so I took another one with me home. Now, after two weeks my new Artsy has the same tendency... :cry:
Therefore:
Are you a owner of an Artsy Monogram made in 2014/2015 and have the same problem? I would really appreciate to see some close up picture of corners of newly made Artsy's. That would help me a lot to decide if I shold return it...
Picture of my old Artsy returned, and the new shows the same signs:

You say that erasers work well for cleaning white marks off the canvas. Do you say this is normal having white marks on canvas? I have many canvas bags, but have never experienced this before
