I released ALL of my LV handbags back into the wild except the Pochette Accessories.

Wanting Damier Ebene, Epi, or leather..... (Non Monogram) Understated, shoulder/crossbody bag, pre-loved.

Maybe LE? Something everyone doesn’t have and is not seen everywhere....I’m petite at 5’3”.

Suggestions? :hrmm::flowers:

How about neo monceau in black epi? Kinda like the pochette metis, but not seen everywhere. I had one, and never saw another person with it. It was a good bag, I kinda wish I'd kept it. I sold it to fund something else, and also the magnetic closure, while very very strong, was kinda loud for me when it snapped shut. But overall, it was a very good bag.

Strap is wide, comfy, and adjustable.

That's sounds awesome! Time to let in something new :smile: I'm petite as well. Medium size bag (about 12 inches wide) with handles and shoulderstrap worked really well for me in the past. (fits all my things and look good on). Epi is nice, easy to clean and quite subtle too ;) Hope this helps. xo

Thinking something a smidge bigger. :)

You sound like me over the years. I only own two LV bags now - Pochette Accessoires NM in Monogram Canvas and Alma BB in Epi Noir.

However, I'm seriously loving the look of the Pochette Grenelle in Epi Noir. This is such an understated and timeless-looking bag.

I have had my eye on an epi petit bucket 23. It is not crossbody but the straps are adjustable and they often have a matching pochette included. I have seen them in black, brown and orange. The prices are favorable too. The other bag that I almost bought was the Hampshire. It comes in DE, similar in size to a NF. Again, not a crossbody but with adjustable straps and the prices are manageable.

I love my Trocadero 23 and 27 in Epi (black and also a caramel color). Took the straps off and interchange other straps. Also love black epi vintage Petite Noe with a crossbody strap and top handle. FASHIONPHILE has the best price for condition epi Noes and I found the Trocaderos on Tradesey and eBay.

I know I said understated and low key but the Noe BB is calling my name! If only they made it in DE or Epi.... I do like the DA but am afraid of color transfer...

I suggest speedy b 25 in DE - IMO it’s a bag which is so versatile, as it can be worn in any weather and nearly for any occasion as well as dressed up and down! It can be top handled as well as worn as a shoulder bag and a crossbody. Looks small but fits so much! It might not be a bag that you see on others only seldom, but that’s for a good reason - I love mine and would recommend it for any collection!

Will it fit a zippy wallet, toilette 19, Pochette Accessories, and medium agenda?

I ended up getting a pretty good price on a Noe BB from Fashionphile and I’m debating a French Co. Speedy 30 B conversion (for a steal!)....I know, I know I said understated. :P I’m also lusting over a pre-loved Speedy B 25 in Epi —- sssoooo gorgeous!!

I have a vintage Noe in black Epi and it is very chic and understated! If it was in my budget, I would definitely buy the new Epi Neverfull in Galet :love: It is such a perfect neutral, and the Neverfull is my all-time favorite, most used bag!
