I've been longing for a Noe for quite some time. I get my bonus this month and have pretty much decided that's what I'm going for. But for some reason I keep going back and forth between the Noe and the Horizontal Lockit. Whenever I purchase LV I have to drive down to Atlanta, GA as we have no LV here in Knoxville, TN. Seeing as my heart is pretty much set on the Noe I was going to order it from elux and pass on the 3.5 hour road trip to Atlanta. The only thing I've purchased from elux was a vachetta strap. I think my concern is that if I get the Noe and decide it's not for me is returning to elux a problem .?. This'll be my first purchase where I haven't been able to go in the boutique and try on different bags. Any thoughts, ideas will be greatly appreciated. I definitely want an on the shoulder bag this time, which I think is what draws me to the Noe and that it's very roomy, and sort of falls under the 'classic' category. I have Mono Speedy 30, Mono Alma, Deauville & Damier Speedy 30.

Sorry for the long, long post.........

Tough call. I have both and LOVE both.
Here are some:

Pros:

Noe: Single strap stays on the shoulder; fits a ton; easy to carry

LH: Very chic looking bag; two pockets inside; handheld & shoulder bag

Cons:

Noe: No pockets means looking for stuff sometimes when the bag is full (unless you use a pursekit, etc.); some people are not fond of drawstrings or vachetta bottom (if you are thinking of getting the mono one)

LH: some people are not fond of rolled handles; when carrying the bag on the shoulder, one handle seems to slip off quite often; if you have something heavy in the bag gathered in one spot, the bottom tends to sag a little

Go for the Noe!
Here is why...
Sounds to me like you really want the Noe. You are confused because the lockit H. is a great bag, but, you also stated you have a Mono Alma. The Alma and LH are very similar looking, except the handles. This is why my opinion is to go for the NOE.. u won't regret it!!

Thanks so, so much!! DH is no help <lol> he's like you know it doesn't matter, get the one you want...ummm yeah that's the problem.

I think I'm going to go w/the Noe. For the past year it seems every time I see one on someone else I would think, "yep, that's definitely going to be my next LV" ....sort of like before my very first LV the speedy was my 'first love' and that's what I went with...so for atleast the last year, the Noe has become my other 'first love'!!

Irene, thanks for the pros/cons on each...you all are just so great!! It's so good to have some place to go where people understand you...my friends, co-workers are like what's the big deal it's just a bag, ummm no it's not just a bag...then there is always the usual 'I can't believe you spend your entire bonus on a purse'....Many, many thanks again!! Right now I better go back to work - aarrgghh.
