You can buy a 55 monogram canvas for 1600 dollar, thats more bang for your buck. But you wont get the macassar, and its a size up from the 45. No shoulder strap either.

I feel like I need the shoulder strap or I would regret it when I have to carry it long distance. It's a shame there's such a big price difference. How does the macassar compare to your Gucci? I considered the Gucci as well but am still drawn to the LV.
The Gucci is Pretty much the same bag but there are some differences. Gucci is a Little heavier for some reason, but also roomier. I bought them at the same time because I just had to have them both 
In 2019 Gucci was a few hundred dollars more expensive, but now the LV is the more expensive bag. You wont see as many people with the Gucci bag so you stand out a little bit more. They are both great and I use them all the time

Has anyone had issues with the MM handles being sticky due to storage? Mine which I purchased preloved had a date code 2018 and the handles were a bit sticky.. the seller offered to take it back and I as I needed 1 day to think and check with LV boutique if they can repair it, as I am afraid it might get worse over time. I am happy with the bag except for the handles.
Can someone advise who owns this encountered the same issue, how did you resolve it? TIA

Of course I did settle on the macassar 45! I love that and the original monogram but I ended up going with the macassar. Love it! Your pictures inspired me!Your welcome! Let me know what you end up with
Here it is! I really didn't need to buy another anything, for all of 2021 and maybe even 2022 the way I've been shopping. But I love it! 
Thanks! Glad you like it! I usually play it safe and was going to get silver. I saw that and thought Caribbean!Thats a great looking bagThe blue D really pops out as well
I have one and I only sometimes use it. If I am using the bag as a carry on or to carry smaller items, I tend to use the organizer to keep my things in place. It just depends on what I’m carrying and how much space the items are taking up. The organizer does help keep my things where I want them in a big open space, which I like, and it doesn’t really add on that much weight. It also helps keep the bag’s shape. But if I am packing clothes, then I don’t use it because I don’t need the organization and it takes up space that could otherwise be used to pack more. I use the 45 as an overnight bag and in those instances, I don’t use the organizer and instead use toiletry bags to organize my things. I’ll try and take some photos for you later and post them here.
