i just bought a 2nd hand epi noe a few weeks ago, it’s been raining here so I haven’t worn it. The leather is pretty stiff and sturdy so the epi leather will take longer to soften up compare to Noe mono.Hello, This is my first post. I am a Noe lover and want to know your thoughts on the discontinued epi noe as far as durability, etc. Thank you!
For 1996 model, yours looks so new and well looked after! Nice purchase!! Couldn’t justify a new epi one back then and the preloved ones I came across in the last few years were not well looked after or else it was in a colour that wouldn’t go well with any of my outfits.Hello! I have an epi noe from 1996 that I've had for two years. It is a very, very durable bag. The epi leather maintains it's shape and is great all-weather. Mine is the really big GM size, but it really isn't that heavy. I do use an insert because it tends to be a "blackhole" type of bag. I highly recommend epi leather - I was not a fan until I purchased a couple of things and it really is so hard-wearing, a little more understated, and elegant. A speedy in epi looks great too.

What bag inserts do you all use for the epi noe?
