SO I have had the Artsy Two as a matter a fact. The Artsy is a beautiful bag actually I like to call it a Sexy Bag but it is not practical at all - clearly just for looks. And if you are calling the longchamp heavy then you should think twice about the Artsy. And the Graceful I admit just sitting there looking at it - its okay but this bag needs stuff inside to see the full beauty. Here is my take below on both bags and yes I own the Graceful.
Artsy
Pros - Beautiful and well made
Cons - Heavy, not a shoulder bag and uncomfortable not a daily bag.

Graceful
Pros - Beautiful, light, easily thrown on shoulder, comfortable (long wear) and very practical for every day use
Cons - front tab concern and corners of bag down the line

To me the Graceful is a mixture of the Artsy and Delightful in one bag. If you have other bags to rotate then yeah maybe an Artsy is good to have but if this is going to be an every day bag I'd say not. I let my Artsy go because for me the bag was just not practical and was not being used enough to keep.

So Sexy not Practical Artsy all the way! Practical yet beautiful Graceful!

This is the perfect review. I have always wanted the Artsy but couldn't find a time I would use it. I have and love the Delightful so the Graceful was an easy choice for me.

I don't own either, but I've tried both on in store multiple times. I'd say for an everyday carry bag, go with the Graceful. It's very comfortable. The Artsy is beautiful, but it isn't the most practical bag (difficult to shoulder-carry, strap gets uncomfortable quickly, heavier).

I own the Artsy and don't use it cause it's not comfortable. It's so beautiful and that's why I bought it, because I couldn't get over that gorgeous handle. Well that beautiful handle sits it my purse closet.

oh this definitely won't be an easy decision, i'm afraid of being tempted by the artsy's beauty and then never wanting to carry her in the end. Then of course I am afraid of being practical and then not being happy with the graceful beacuae I can't stop thinking of the artsy lol

I also really like the looks of the duomo hobo, but i read that the zippers make it super unpractical..

also, maybe i should add (not sure if it makes a difference) but i tend to carry bags in the crook of my arm rather than shoulder..so not worried about the straps being uncomfortable on the shoulder so much.

No the Duomo Hobo is a pain with the zipper - found myself leaving it unzipped. The Graceful in DE looks very similar to the Duomo Hobo but with the wider opening of the Graceful is easier. Maybe head over to the Artsy Clubhouse to get an idea of what people are saying. And also the Graceful clubhouse. This way you can see pictures of both sitting and carried. I have one carrying the Graceful in Monogram if that helps.

I Just got my Graceful and that gets my vote for sure. It is so light and comfortable to carry. The Galliera was in my regular rotation for years but will I probably retire it. I've never considered the Artsy because it was too much like the Galliera. I like the fresh look of the Graceful. Lol, @MJDaisy, this is my first post as an OG as well. Pretty cool to be here for this long.
