~The classic drawstring Noé Club~

[Jade Jazzstars]

For those of us who love deep patina, I wanted to share these shots of a 20-year old Petite Noe I am rehabbing. The first three shots are "before," and last three "after." Even though the bag was dirty, it was nearly spotless on the inside and the canvas was in good shape. The vachetta was dirty all over and scratched on the base, but the scratches weren't deep and the leather wasn't cracked. So I cleaned it up with saddle soap and leather conditioner, and ended up with a pretty nice bag with lots of character. I need to go over the vachetta again but at least it's usable now.

I'm impressed with the great job on the bottom of the bag. Enjoy your Petit Noe. I really love my preowned.

Because some epi colours are discontinued I wasn't sure if they were able to.

Yeah. I was wondering the same thing about discontinued epi colours. That's why I was in two minds to get a preowned. Monogram is easier to rehab but the vachetta replacement cost is astronomical.

Thanks for all the info. Your Toledo Blue Petit Noe looks very nice; it's a very captivating blue. How long have you had the Petit Noe?

Thank you. I got it pre-loved a couple of years ago.

Nothing wrong with pre-loved! Some of my best funds are pre-loved!

I received the leather slider from Etsy seller LeatherPrince.I can't believe how perfect this little piece of leather fits the purse. It makes all the difference when opening and closing the bag. I ordered it on March 28th and received it yesterday, all the way from Taiwan.

Did you have to tell him the size or measurements?

My new (to me) 24 year old Noe. She's a beauty after cleaning and conditioning!

I think this is the GM? It's quite large. I think it's going to be a great travel bag for the summer!

This bag is gorgeous!

This bag is gorgeous!

Thank you! I actually sold it about a month ago after using it for trips all summer. I found it too big to use as an everyday bag and am now looking for a vintage petit noe in decent condition.
