I have a old model vintage petite Noe and it is one of my favorite bags! So roomy, light, and comfortable. Your bag is beautiful, but I get the vachetta stress. I would spray it with protectant since there is so much of it, then use it and enjoy it! If something happens, you can get the vachetta replaced. I had some of the leather replaced on mine and it came out beautifully and was not too expensive. I didn’t do the bottom bc I knew I would mark it up and no one can see it on the older model. If you find after all it’s not for you, then sell it. I would give it a chance, it is so lovely when it gets the honey patina. Good luck ❤❤
