Should I keep this pre-loved Epi Noe?

I got hooked on LV in 2018 and until very recently, never considered the Noe -- it never once gave me pause. But somehow this fall, overnight, I realized how brilliant the concept and execution is on this bag (plus I love sparkling wine, so what's not to love about it, down to its origin story). I of course turned to tPF when I found an epi Noe in piment in excellent condition. Thanks to this particular thread, I took the plunge and now I am obsessed with this silhouette. (I have learned from my Artsy obsession that once you get one, you're probably well on your way to getting your next one, so I may be eyeing an epi Petit Noe one of these days.)

So thanks for your conversation earlier this year around this bag, everyone!

I wonder what the OP decided to do? I would have kept it for sure. The bag is exquisite and that color, omg, it's gorgeous! I love the silver hardware, as well. I've never seen the Noe in this color before, so I would have kept it for sure.

I hope OP kept it. Curious....

I kept it! I could not return it without feeling like I’d regret it. I have been it using it a lot this fall/winter when I need a larger bag. Love the Noe line. I think I have had so many of them on my wishlist for the past few years - bb, Epi, petit! . I just have to restrain myself.

Thanks for your comment!

I got my first LV in 2018 and have been hooked since. I agree - I love the history behind bag and also that it’s not so common, but classic. Enjoy your beauty!

I love your bag charm too!

For me, the Epi Noe was the best bag Vuitton ever made and I wouldn't hesitate to keep this one.
If you send it back and then regret it, you will never find another one in such a beautiful condition.

So glad OP decided to keep this beauty! That color! Oh my!

But @leuleu, I would love for you to elaborate on this comment. I've recently become quite obsessed in this bag in all of its forms and materials. I am loving the idea of the GM in epi, but it is, of course, SO BIG! I've never had such a big bag. I have a Keepall 50 mono, but that's not a bag.

Canvas is lightweight and classic looking, but I keep looking at the ginormeous and heavy looking--so beautiful, GM in epi.

I am just curious what you love so much about this bag, because I think I love it too (though I've never seen one IRL).
