I’ve had my Epi NeoNoe for a year now. It has taken some getting used to. Once I bought Samorga organizers that go on either side of the center pouch, my one issue with the bag was solved....couldn’t handle my items sliding underneath all of the time. I like to hand carry, as well as shoulder and crossbody — though the latter much less often.

I have a Celine small Big Bag (amazing bag!) which is MUCH bulkier than the NeoNoe and can also be worn crossbody. The NN is not bulky at all in comparison to that! However, it might not be the right shape for everyone. Bags are so personal. We all like different features. :)

L love my NeoNoe. I have the monogram with black trim. My belongings are hard to find inside of the bag though. I guess I do not mind putting up with the inconvenience.

I do appreciate hearing all the different perspectives. I love this bag-I own it in two different types and I always go to it when I want to change over. It fits my needs but maybe not yours. I hope its around for a long time

I stalked the mono with black trim for about a year before buying it. After a few uses and about 2 months later, I sold it. And just days later my Samorga organizer for it arrived. I didn’t love the bag, but I didn’t hate it either. Similar feedback to everyone else- it’s a bit bulky, hard to find things inside, probably should stick with zipped bags since I live in a big city and walk/use public transport. But still considering the epi in black version....

Very diverse perspectives :smile:

I am all over the Neo Noé. Bought it last October, because I have the classic Noé monogram, love it and wanted a bucket bag for fall/winter with no Vachetta.
So far it‘s been great. The crossbody option and the inside pocket are a huge plus! I love that I can put my phone inside the divider and find it immediately - the classic Noé is just a bottomless whole:P no problems with sliding under so far ... maybe my slgs are large enough to not do that?!?

One thing I would change: D-ring!!!!! The Neo Noé doesn‘t feature a d-ring... :noworry: that‘s the only thing I don‘t like about it and I don‘t get why it doesn‘t have one. I always use the d-rings to attach keys, re-usable shopping bags, pouches and whatever!

But I agree that if you are looking for a real crossbody bag - this might not be it.

I have it in mono with pink and love it. I don’t carry a lot of loose items though. Long zippy wallet, make up bag and calendar. I put my work keys and lip balm in center for easy access. I have only used shoulder strap but no problems what so ever

I’ve always liked Noè or bucket bags in general but not a fan of monograms or logos for bags. Epi is too structured for me. So when the graphite came out last year, I finally bit the bullet and there was no turning back. I love it! I only shoulder carry it though. I think it’s too awkwardly big to x-body on me. Now I am looking forward to the all leather bucket bag coming out soon - can’t wait to get my hands on that!

I sold mine to FASHIONPHILE. It was a beauty, but the wide bottom did stick out too far (my personal feeling) and I got so many stares and comments. I much prefer to fly under the radar.

I adore my NeoNoe - so much so that I’m going to add a black Epi version later this year.

I find the strap to be very comfortable and it stays on my shoulder well. I would not personally wear it crossbody because I think it’s too bulky for that.

The drawstring works well - no need to retie it which is what gives me pause with the Petit Noe (although I’m tempted by the Epi denim version of that as well).

YMMV - I love bucket bags. I do use a Samorga organizer both to keep items from going under the middle portion and to help keep the pink microfibre clean.

I sold mine. I think it was the pink color. I just don’t wear pink and when carried I looked like an older person. Sorry it’s my though process. I thought I looked young w this. I only saw this bag on older people. Don’t get me wrong I’m not too far from retirement age lol but when the time comes, it comes. Maybe I would consider the caramel color or limited edition like the jungle.

No concerns about glazing. More concerned about how far it sticks out from the body, the open top dependent upon a thin leather drawstring, the comfort of such a thin shoulder strap, and how well it's implemented as a crossbody with the long strap. It seems so large and structured that I would not reach for that as a rain bag unless my Reverse Pochette Metis fails to meet my expectations when it arrives.

I also can't pick between the red and caramel, although the caramel is currently out of stock online.

To echo a prior comment, the drawstring is quite strong and stays put when cinched. Also easy to open and close - exceptionally well designed.

I sold mine because I was worried about corner wear on the bottom. After a few months I could already see the initial stages ... I think this is a canvas issue if you have the Epi you should be fine
