My first LV was the epi noe, and I thought I would love it from all the rave reviews, but I hated it!
I was so disappointed and sent it back....
Sometimes I think of getting an MC noe (pre-loved) but then I remember the Epi Noe disappointment and stop myself from getting it. I am trying to focus on getting bags that I really love and will use, not something that is sort-of okay.
I think if you didn't love it the first time around there was a good reason for it, and that you will find yourself not liking it the 2nd time around.
