Nope, I'm very careful with my bags so I'm really surprised it's happened and didn't notice the areas the last time I used it. I used to store it flat, but decided to store it stuffed as I thought it would be better not having creases when stored. The dust bag is too small when it's not flat but as it's all four corners I doubt it can be that.
Aaah yes they have started to give bigger bags with the Speedy's now. My first Speedy I actually switch a dust bag from another bag because I like my speedy's stuffed when stored as well. I bet it is when you are storing in the dust bag it's rubbing there maybe. Do you have another bag you can do a switch with?
I find bags with rolled handles like speedies still have a tendency to rub of the sealant thus I don't choose speedy as my most durable one
Alright Ladies I took my Artsy on vacation to Florida this past week and a half. And let me tell you if you didn't already know that this bag is so freaking durable I was blown away. I did not cover my handle as planned because I agreed with some of the ladies here that it is just too beautiful for that. So I returned the Coach bandeau. I did however take my dust bag and put it in there while the bag was under the seat on the plane as that is what I was worried about the most. But man I was was worried for nothing and the Artsy Mono is definitely not as delicate as I made it out to be. Beautiful, sexy and durable that is what I am talking about. The Artsy may just be my favorite bag right now. I will say though Florida is good for something because the Patina on my bag moved quickly in the humidity so it is a nice light honey brown and also relaxed a lot during that time so it is quite comfortable on the shoulder - loving that!
What do you think is your most durable bag? I think this will help others who are planning on purchasing an LV especially LV's which have vachetta.
Glad to hear your news and that you enjoyed yourself. Florida weather is great for a nice patina....I am tanning my odeon outside, but of course I have to keep an eye out for the rain clouds because it pours briefly almost every day!I hope you had a great vacation CornishMon! I'm really happy to hear about the Artsy. I think its a really stunning bag. In my collection, my Batagnolles H is my most durable. It's my workhorse that I just throw everything into. I baby my Speedy 40 a lot more.
I would love to see the patina on your Artsy, nothing like a beautiful honey patina
Yayyy!!! That's awesome!!! I hope you both got a tan That would've been my biggest worry also...thanks so much for sharing!!

Side note: I'm glad to read I am not the only one who puts her handbags in a bag before setting them down. My husband shakes his head when I break out my Ziploc "big bags" plastic bag to put my purse under the seat, but he willingly accepts the Clorox wipes to clean the tray and seat areas.
