Hey Zoe! Glad to see you back!

And thanks.

[TokiliciousJenY]

OMG, you have an amazing collection. I all your stuff!!!

[silvcrystal]

Your collection is so totally amazing. I love them all!!!! It's like a LV boutique.

Hey Rebecca. I'm coming to visit. Clear me a spot on that bookshelf. LOL.

[imashopaholic]

Out with the books, in with the bags. Love it!!

[Lvbabydoll]

Lol! Thanks, I actually bought the bookshelf FOR my bags. My books are in another little cabinet I have.

[speedydelivery]

I LOVE it!! Congrats on this beauty! I feel tempted myself to get a yellow epi, either petit noe or alma, the noe is so special bec. the gorgeous interior is more prominent than a zipper closure would be.

I just discovered this style too, when I got the red epi petit noe and it is such a fun bag to use. The yellow would look so good w/ your coloring too.

Congrats also on your pretty cb pochette. All 3 colors are so pretty, I wouldn't know which to pick!

I'm curious to know what your opinion is on the mini lin line? Do you have a mini lin? I like hearing from different people who have a lot of knowledge and experience w/ LV their thoughts on this line. I've been on the fence about getting the mini lin speedy and just recently bumped it off my list again. Some people are saying that the lock is tarnishing and discoloring the bag, others say it's a lot of money for a fabric bag, while I notice some other people have had fraying issues. What do you think about this bag and the croisette too?

And finally, what do you think about getting a second bag in the same epi color? Would you do that? I can't believe I'm considering doing it and going for an epi alma in red, but I seriously don't know what other bag to get other than that mini lin. The red epi alma seems to be winning these days,lol.

One more question! What datecode is your yellow epi petit noe? I was wondering what years they produced that beautiful color. My red epi petit noe was from '95. I actually ended up getting two of them off of eBay, the '95 one that was in excellent pre-owned condition and one from '01 that was in brand new never used condition, the previous owner never used it. It smelled new and everything was new about it and guess what I liked the used one better! The '01 petit noe was very stiff and so I sold it to someone I knew. I was curious to know if the yellow epi petit noe was stiff or more malleable like my older red epi petit noe? I think they changed the epi texture over the years.

I don't have any Mini Lin, it doesn't really appeal to me...I do like the Croisette and Speedy though I'd just be afraid of the fabric and color transfer from clothing.
I wouldn't rule out getting another bag in the same color at all! I think it'd be nice, especially if one is hand held and the other is a shoulder bag.

Mine was made in March of 1997.
I think it's pretty malleable though I only have one other Epi to compare it to and it's a more structured style (the Jasmin).
I do know that the Epi does tend to get softer with use though so that's probably what will eventually happen to the 01' Noe that you sold to your friend as well. It takes about 8-10 years I think, depending on how much use it gets.

Thank you Rebecca! I'm going to take the plunge and go for that red epi alma, you're so right about the diff. between the need for hand held vs. shoulder style. There is a dress I was wanting to wear to my middle son's nursery ceremony, big plans here, lol, it's a sleeveless knee length dress, zips up the back with cinched darted waist, black background w/ medium smallish white polka dots (kind of Charlotte from satc), would have looked perfect w/ a red bag, but a ladylike bag that is hand held. That's when I realize how I truly need a hand held red epi version. Anyways, I'm wearing something else bec. I don't have the right bag for that dress, hee hee. Thanks for your stylish input! :) Can't wait for more updates on your amazing collection. What's next on the horizon?

Oh, that sounds gorgeous! I love red/black/white together....between that and pink/black, those are my favorite color combos. You're welcome! I'm glad to help!
And honestly, I have no idea, if something strikes my fancy and is at a steal, I'll jump on it lol. I'd have more $ right now if my Juicy Couture charm addiction hadn't kicked back in...I've gotten about 8 more lately.

Aw thanks, elle and SweetPurple!
My bookshelf is hilarious because my bags are hardly ever in the same position. I keep the top 2 shelves basically the same but the lower 2 are always in a different order depending on what bags I've been using.

Nice collection!
