Artsy Handle Question/Advice
- Thread starter CornishMon
- Start date
My artsy has been to Vegas, Maui, and Puerto Rico (even got left behind on a bag that wasn't supposed to be checked but I accidentally checked it lol) and I haven't had any issues. My handle is just fine. I didn't spray or wrap.
Here's a vid if you feel more comfortable wrapping.

Thank you very much I will watch the video. Yeah not to keen on treating my vechetta - have not on any of my other bags. I just do not want to worry about it because it's new.

I agreed! I think the Artsy handle is so gorgeous that it should be left able. If you're afraid of getting the handle dirty, go for the Empreinte version in the darker colors.
If you really want honesty. Yes coach on LV is tacky.
I know some will think I should keep my comments to myself but you did ask..
But that's just my opinion and the only opinion that counts is yours!
Do you find that the patina process has been affected at all after applying Apple Guard?
...but if it's wrapped around and you don't really see the name or pattern, does it still matter? Part of me would agree with you, but if it's not really obvious and noticeable does it make a diff if one can't tell what brand it is for practical purposes. Not trying to start an argument, just curious as I've thought of this myself. All the scarf is doing is protecting the bag handle. I imagine if it was for adornment then it would matter that the logo shows on the scarf. But then it just becomes a case of pride and not logic or practicality. I guess it just depends on the user of the bag/scarf....whether one is a brand mixer or not. While I am not, I do use a non brand scarf I have as it is long, looks nice, and serves it's purpose of protecting the handle when needed (mostly in its earlier days).
As I stated above this is for the plane ride and nothing more. I do not cover any of my other bags in fear of the vachetta. This is strictly so I do not have to worry about it on the plane.
It's all good Misschiff - the bandeau I am using has no logos on it and I specifically picked that one because of that. I am using it to protect my handle when I go on the plane as I actually stated in the initial post. I was asking for opinions and as always have to be prepared for this. An opinion is an opinion and I never take it personal as we are individuals with our own thoughts. It's nice to hear what people have to say. Again dear I thank you for all your advice here and great idea!
I'm curious. If you are the one handling the bag, what could possibly harm the handle on the plane? When I do carry my bag on the plane no one ever touches it but me. I put my bag under the seat until take off and then it's in my lap the rest of the way or I just leave it under the seat. I really think you are worrying for nothing. Focus on your lovely trip and enjoy! Artsy is really like a Megan Fox; absolutely beautiful but is a tomboy at heart lol.
Contrary to popular belief the handle really is not that fragile. Believe me when I say I don't baby my bags but I'm not harsh on them either. My patina is very even.
I'm literally on the plane at LEAST once a month or every other month.
Here's artsy watching the game in the way to Vegas lol
No no I am just a little worried because it is brand spanking new. If I have already had it months I would not be a spaz about it. I hear what you are saying. . . It's not like I do not have other bags with vachetta. This one is just new. . .and usually take my DE when I travel. But the Artsy is just too beautiful to leave home this time.
