Hi everyone! I have a NeoNoe MM in turtledove bicolor empreinte color and I don't love it. It's a beautiful bag but doesn't fit in with my casual lifestyle and I'm constantly worried about getting it dirty or wearing it with jeans. I am planning on selling it to ReBag (they will give me 107% of my purchase price) and buying a bag more suitable to my lifestyle. I am tending to lean towards items that do not have vachetta and I want it to be something I can wear daily and even take with me when I'm travelling.

Here are my options:
-NeoNoe MM in mono/black (I know this style has issues but I did like the style of the NeoNoe, just not the lighter color)
-Dauphine MM (I've always loved this bag but feel like scratches would show up easily on the leather bits)
-Braided Handle Beaubourg Hobo Mahina Leather MM in the Galet color (lowest priority since it's still a lighter color but it has a zipper)
-Boite Chapeau Souple MM (the vachetta on this scares me however I know it's the pre-treated vachetta and the shape of the bag is to DIE for)
-Bella Bucket Bag in Pink (yes it's a light color but I really do love the look of it and seems like it can hold a lot from what I've seen on YouTube)
-Montsouris PM in mono/black (not sure if this can really be an every day bag since it's a backpack)
-Odeon MM in mono/black
-Palm Springs Mini in mono (I had the PSM in reverse mono and sold it but it was a cute, versatile little bag)
-Mabillon Shoulder Bag (love the shape of this)
-Babylone Handbag Mahina Leather BB in black

Sorry for being long-winded but I figured if anyone could give me advice, it would be you guys.

Thanks :smile:

I’m going to be biased because I have a NeoNoe in the mono and black combo, so I will suggest getting that one. Mine is from 2018 and has no issues.

This may be a good time to branch out and try different styles in order to find one that you like that is different than the bucket bag style. You could always come back to the NN if the other styles don‘t work out. GL deciding.

if you like the style of the bag of the neo noe mm, why not get the all blk empreinte leather or the canvas. I have the DE in saffron and I've used it almost daily since September and its been great so far.

I love my neo noe in mono and black, I think I got mine in 2018, what issues does this bag have ? I also have the Dauphine MM which I got when it first came out, don’t use it much but I do love it…… I think I’d choose the Dauphine because not as many people own it, I’ve never seen anyone else carrying it but I’ve seen a lot of people carrying the neo noe, the Dauphibr can also be used casually or for dressier occasions.

dauphine mm is such a gorgeous bag. I have always loved it but find it slightly too big for me. I tried the smaller version and it doesn't fit my phone but if it had fit my phone I would have bought the smaller version for sure. This is my favorite bag out of all the ones you listed and I always love seeing it. It's just a gorgeous shape, style and I love the magnetic closure too. My second would be neonoe which I have also tried on. I don't like open top bags-just a personal preference. I think this one looks great on people and it feels very casual but still super nice looking. If you feel turtledove is too light then I would stay away from alot of the other styles. Mahina leather is suppose to be super durable but I find empreinte leather to be as well (I don't it in a light color though).

I love my Odeon MM in noir. No vachetta to worry about and fits a lot and comfortable to wear…Zip top for security but it’s nice to have the outer pocket …I have the dauphine mm but usually use it for nicer events although it could be used as a every day bag. I also have the Palm Springs mini but could not use it as an every day bag since it’s small. I also have the boite chapeau souple mm. I love the shape and uniqueness.

Hopping on this thread because I am also on a hunt for a new bag. I can’t seem to decide which bag I want to purchase. I do have my eyes on the alma bb in the epi leather or the Palm Springs mini. I live in Hawaii and getting the Palm Springs mini is a long shot. I do gravitate more towards medium sized bags. What do y’all suggest? I already have the Eva clutch, speedy de 25, pochette Métis in reverse, multi pochette accessoire in khaki, and Cannes in reverse. Mind you this might be the last bag I buy in a while. Suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I think the canvas Néonoé used to tend to canvas cracking and glazing issues on the top. But I dont know if its still a problem or if its fixed. Some people claimed about it, you can do a research therefore in web.

@OP: What about an Epi Néonoé? I have one, its really sturdy and versatile.
Good luck deciding :flowers:
