Just wanted to give an update on my Artsy:
I've had her for almost 8 months now, and I have not experienced any issues with the canvas - no peeling, bubbling, or cracking whatsoever. I use my bag often, too - about 2-3 times per week - so I believe that it's endured enough wear/tear for an accurate assessment. I have to say that Artsy - while not an "everyday" bag for me - is my favorite LV piece that I own, if not the prettiest designer bag in my collection. It makes me happy everytime I use her. That being said - anyone who is contemplating whether or not to add an Artsy to your collection, I say go for it and no need to worry about any issues as LV has resolved the canvas issue for this particular bag.
Here she is, after about 8 months:
