Your BBs look so cute with the sliders! Would I ask where did you order them from? Thanks!

I ordered both of my Noe BB bags a slide for the drawstring. So cute. :heart:

Hey, ladies! Can someone tell me if the "made in" stamp has ever been on the internal side of the strap, that faces the shoulder? I've stumbled across a DA Noé from 2007 in good condition, but I've never seen this before. Everything else looks good, though!

Hello Everyone...can I ask for a little help?
So, Hubby gave me a red/green Epi Petit Noe probably 12+ years ago. I didn't like it whatsoever then...but I've recently the error in my ways and I'm falling in love with it - as he convinced me to give it a try and I've been carrying it for about the past two weeks or so.

While I LOVE how it carries on my shoulder, and how it looks when on...I haven't figured out a great way to manage the drawstring and getting in and out of it. What does everyone else do? Un-tie and Re-tie the drawstring every time you get in or out of the bag? I've found what seems to reasonably work is to tie it at a nominal length that allows some access, but isn't fully open but isn't fully cinched up either. Presents a small challenge when I'm trying to find something at the bottom.

While I'm loving the bag, I just can't find my way and how to operate the drawstring. It's becoming frustrating and I'm hoping that it doesn't get to me so much that I begin to dislike the bag (again).

Also...anyone have a good idea where to look for a replacement drawstring? I noticed a small crack that will eventually be getting bigger.

Thank so much!

You can tie a sliding knot too...

Hi there. I recently bought a monogram noe (largest size) and I really love it. I wanted to buy it in the damier azur and am on a waiting list since it is unavailable. However, recently I started reading more about the noe bb and noticed it could possibly be used as a crossbody bag. Unfortunately the LV store near me is sold out of the bb too so I can't try it on to see if I want the bb azur version instead of the standard noe Azur. If anyone has the bb version, could you advise how long the strap is at its longest length? I like my crossbody strap long like the one that comes with the Eva and some straps like the one on the favorite is a little too short for my preferences. If the bb strap is long then I might buy the noe bb instead. Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone! I purchased an old, well-worn Noe in France about 15 years ago at a second-hand shop. I've never been able to verify its authenticity. If fake, it was well-made as it has stood the test of time and is a very good purse! I've never seen another like it - was this a real LV style? It may be pre-1980. Thank you!image1.JPG

I would say, this is a fake one. The brass of the rings for the drawstring is silver and to thin. It has to be golden and printed with the Louis Vuitton letters. The leather isn't Vachetta and there is no item to close the drawstring. If it is a original Noé there would be two parts of canvas. This bag has four? The flowers would be in one line where the Vachetta bottom beginns. And there would be no sign with LV being ingraved.
Sorry dear, that are the spots I saw at first sight.

Thank you! I figured as much, but wasn't - I appreciate you sharing your expertise.
This used purse was only 6 euro. I guess I was hoping I'd hit the jackpot. Thanks again!
