Louis Vuitton artsy handle question

I would suggest posting a request for authentication in this thread: http://forum.purseblog.com/threads/authenticate-this-lv-read-the-rules-use-the-format-in-post-1.926508/unread

However, I do know that many authenticators will not look at pieces that require a login to a site, so a third party service such as Authenticate4u may prove more helpful.

Good luck!

 

Mine doesn't make noise. I can't read the date code - is it CH in the beginning?

 

Mine has never made a noise that I know of. What do you mean?

 

I think the older ones had cork in the handle which may have made a noise. Mine is brand new, used only twice and does not make a sound.

 

Mine is a couple of years old.

 

I can't speak for the new models but I have an OM and it makes noises

 

I had an older Artsy a couple of years back (I think it was the OM but I'm not 100% sure) and sometimes it made noise, preferably in 'quiet zones' like a library, and at other times it was absolutely silent. It could vary from bag to bag and depend on factors such as the craftsman who bound the leather (tighter or a little more loose), how well worn-in it is, and the person's shoulder size or how much they're carrying.

 

Mine is newer. Makes no noise.

 

I bought mine this year in Hawaii and the handle squeaks a tiny bit because of the attachment moving but that's it
