Thanks for that. I am planning to see the bag in person this coming weekend. I will definitely check on cracking. Just want to know by now if it is worth the 2hr driving to meet the seller. Lol!

By the way, may I know what causes cracking on canvas? Is it due to age of the bag? I am worried that if I purchase a vintage it will eventually crack soon as I have it.

Personally, I find that vintage bags are less likely to crack, while everything I've bought from LV in the past two years has been deemed defective by LV because of the cracking issue. If the canvas is cracked I would NOT BUY the bag. LV will NEVER touch a bag with cracked canvas. Therefore, especially with vintage, you would never be able to get anything fixed/replaced by LV. Hth!

I happened to see this Epi Petit Noe in Fuchsia with silver hw at a store for preloved bags and the colour was so lovely (and also the price was also "lovely") so this came home with me!! It's a 2013 petit noe but still almost new. :smile:

This is just so lovely and I like silver hardware the best. Congrats and enjoy!
 
Hello, I posted here before regarding my planned purchase for a vintage Petite Noe.

Can I ask some questions? Everything seems fine except for 2 that I noticed and I am not sure:

1. Should both sides (with leather pannel) of Petite Noe have the same print on sides? I noticed one leather pannel it has the "flower" prints on both sides l while the other leather pannel it has the "circle with flower" on both sides. Sorry not familiar with the correct terms.
2. I also noticed "LV" logo of the monogram canvas was cut at the near bottom (leather bottom). Though not obvious.

Just want to know if those of you with vintage pieces have the same thing. Check some vintage Petit Noe bags in Yoogi's. Some bags also have the 2 things that I noticed. I presumed the bags in Yoogi's are authentic because of the reputation. Tried posting in the authentication thread but I was told they do not authenticate items from private sellers :sad: Hope you guys can help me out instead. I am very interested with the bag but ofcourse know if it is authentic first.

She's gorgeous!

So pretty!

Thank you so much! I think this fuchsia epi noe and fuchsia petite epi noe are some of the best noes ever! The color is spectacular and the quality is there. I particularly like carrying it in the winter because it gets so cold where I live, I sometimes feel the need to carry an all leather bag, plus it cheers me up!

I carried my fuchsia petit noe today for the first time and as the bag has a large base, I accidentally bumped a lady with the bag. I received a huge lashing from the lady and she was so mad at me. Sigh. I guess this is just one con from carrying a bucket bag!! Beware all passerby! A petit noe is coming! Ha!!

Other than this, I love carrying the petit noe. So pretty to look at and the newer model epi leather is softer than vintage. [emoji847]

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.
