Equal outer dimensions do not make the versions identical
Both checked pages label the dimensions Length 26 × Height 26 × Width 17.5 cm. Retaining that order matters: the third number is the brand’s width label, not a measurement we have reassigned. Neither listing gives a complete set of usable interior dimensions.
The canvas page links the design to Gaston-Louis Vuitton’s 1932 bottle-carrying bag. That is a historical reference for the family, not a claim that the two current product codes were launched in 1932. Use the code to distinguish the versions you are comparing.

Read body, trim and lining as separate components
M44020 lists Monogram coated canvas, coloured cowhide trim and microfiber lining. M45256 lists embossed Monogram Empreinte grained cowhide leather, cowhide trim and microfiber lining. The shared Monogram name therefore does not mean the same body material.
These exact specifications belong to the official references. The linked supplier record uses store-provided Genuine leather and shows large motifs on black and taupe options. A photograph cannot verify the leather treatment or establish that either option matches the official code.

The handle changes the carrying configuration
The M45256 page explicitly lists a single removable handle as well as a removable, adjustable strap. The M44020 detail list specifies the strap but does not list that additional handle. Ask for the contents of the exact reference rather than assuming the whole family has one configuration.
The published strap-drop ranges also differ by 2 cm at both ends: 33–56 cm for canvas, 31–54 cm for Empreinte. Those are hanging drops, not end-to-end strap lengths. Compare the intended position over your usual clothing rather than selecting solely by the MM size name.

A central zip pocket does not zip the whole bucket closed
The official pages describe two compartments and a central zipped pocket; the canvas listing calls that pocket flat. The body is gathered with a drawstring. The pocket can separate smaller belongings, but its zip does not turn the main opening into a zip-top closure.
The pages also give different packing examples despite identical exterior dimensions. Treat them as brand examples, not standard capacity tests. For a rigid tablet or long wallet, ask for the clear opening and the usable dimensions of each side of the divider.

Use the supplier photograph to identify the actual option
KU-DE03443B lists 26 × 26 × 17.5 cm, a drawstring and an adjustable strap. Its photograph additionally shows short handles and separate pouches. Matching numbers are useful for initial comparison, but do not authenticate the item or confirm the inner divider and handle attachment.
Specify black or taupe and request an interior view, labelled measurements, handle fittings and included accessories. Retain the unverified identity notice. The pictured pouches and packaging should be confirmed in the quote rather than treated as part of either official model’s specification.

Questions & answers
Are canvas and Empreinte NéoNoé MM the same size?
The checked M44020 and M45256 pages both list 26 × 26 × 17.5 cm, labelled Length × Height × Width. Interior capacity is not established by that alone.
Which reference lists a removable top handle?
M45256 in Monogram Empreinte explicitly lists a single removable handle. The checked M44020 canvas detail list does not list an additional handle.
Do they have the same strap drop?
No. M44020 lists 33–56 cm and M45256 lists 31–54 cm. Both are removable, adjustable straps.
Does the supplier’s matching size establish an official match?
No. Its photograph, material wording, handle, interior and accessories need separate confirmation; brand identity remains unverified.
