For those ladies who have a New Ball in Noce, do you like/love/adore it? Is the non-zip closure hard to manage because it's easier for things to fall out? Thanks very much in advance!

I just saw a Noce New Ball irl today! Gorgeous. I have the New Ball too, in red. Although it doesn't have any closure, it comes with a removable pouch that fits well inside the bag which you can use to keep the small items. It doesn't move around much so I never had any issues with things dropping out.

HTH!

First, I love the color noce. I have two new balls, nero and carmino. I've never had stuff fall out of them. If security is an issue, I use the pouch for my valuables and secure the bag with the dog leash. It's impossible to remove the pouch with that closed.

I just got my first new ball in nero. Love the woven ring detail!

It doesn't fit as many items due to the open top but it's large enough for all my necessities. I was abit concerned about security until I read the above about using the extra pouch for valuables.

I think it's a very versatile style which can be used for both casual and work. Plus, noce is such a scrumptious colour! You can't go wrong imo

Will you please share some pics? I wanna see.... Thanks!

Thanks so much, juzluvpink, LLANeedle, sngsk! I am thinking about buying one (and it's a great deal too!) so wanted to get some thoughts before taking the plunge. Mare_Swe, I will definitely share pics if I end up getting the bag! :)

I don't have it, but I did have a Campana which had the same hook in the center and it was never a problem. I like the Newest Ball and the original. Noce in the Ball bag would be very classic looking and wearable all year round.

I have the New Ball in Noce and Nero--both are relatively recent purchases. I love them! They feel so comfortable on the shoulder--I don't even notice them! And they look both classy and casual at the same time. This can definitely be worn dressed up or down. The leather is gorgeous and the colors are amazing. I can't say enough nice things about this style now and it's my new everyday bag!

.....so....there's no closure to the top? God! I just love that bag, though!

couturequeen · Jun 25th, 2009, 09:12 AM

There is a closure - it's a hook. Inside the bag is a cosmetic-bag shaped holder for your stuff that has a zip closure. Once you hook the bag, it can't fall out. I almost never hook my bag anyway, nothing falls out because the bag is pretty deep. Anything small I keep in the small zip bag or in the bag's side zip. It's a great bag. I wish I had it in other colors. Noce is beautiful!

The original ball actually has a zippered center compartment and 4 inside pockets. It fits nicely over a coat too. It doesn't have the pouch. There is a noce one up on ebay now.
