A rare find - and I'm soo happy....

Ever since I saw a photo of this bag here in tpf I've been lusting after it. But they're almost impossible to find, esp. here in Europe. During the last 15 (!) month I only stumbled over one, and that sadly was a fake!
So I almost gave up and was about to get this great classic bag in azur, when all of a sudden this old lady came my way.

May I introduce to you my still beautiful Petit Noe in Nomade leather!

Isn't she stunning, and though she certainly shows signs of her many years, she's in incredible condition - good old days of sturdy leather [emoji6].
And the twilly looks cute, doesn't it (different brand, but french after all...).

Gorgeous! I'm a huge fan of the Noe - I have two
 
Thank you all for your kind words!!
I am aware of how lucky I was to find this beauty. And isn't it great that the leather already has some marks, so I needn't be afraid and can simply enjoy it.
It's just like with wrinkles: they're no damage, they add character....
 
I am afraid of two things; clowns and all vachetta bags, with that said this is gorgeous and what an amazing find! Congrats and enjoy your new beauty!
