You're very welcome.
I have my petit since two weeks. I feel the base a bit bulky but it doesn't concern me. Also the usage feels different if the bag has few things in it or is full. I feel it more if its almost empty. But the bag and the shape is also new to me so I just have to get used.
I was interested almost a year in the noe bb and I have also wrote the petit off (the standard was not an option). Despite the space I was thinking and still do that the bb one gets more marks on the patina since it always rubs on your clothes and I love dark blue jeans. Also I have a quite warm and fat winter jacket and with the bb cross body it just looked weird in my opinion since the base is bulky.
The speedy/petit comparison is a bit difficult.
First of all with two kids you might get annoyed with closing the straps. But the solution might be our "leatherprince" from etsy who I feel is producing sliders for purseforum's noes like crazy. I ordered one a week ago. So I can't say if its better from my own opinion.
Second you must get used to pack your petit more neatly than a speedy if you want to cary more things. I.e. Above mentioned things for traveling. But it should be fine if you cary few things on a daily basis.
Third is a big plus for the noe because of the big opening. You'll love it. I think you can fit the same amount of things in each bag. For sure my above mentioned list. But I feel even more due to the opening.
Then the petit is far more handy with the shoulder strap than the speedy with the handle.
And last but not least I find the noe is such a classy bag with a vintage style. I'm really looking forward to see it getting old. [emoji5]️
Keep me updated on your decision. [emoji5]️
Good point on the bb being too long and rubbing jeans. I actually like shoulder strap better than crossbody most the time so I think I am going to checkout the petit instead. I just got a Mansur Gavriel bucket and am really liking it so it reignited my want of the Noe lol. The Noe does have the vintage vibe to it and that's my style. It's so chic yet casual.
. Thanks for sharing the tip.
