Help! I just bought a multicolor petite noe from Fashionphile. It is in perfect condition except for a slight defect that was not mentioned in the description. It has an ever so slight "pinking" near the top rim in one portion of the bag. It is about an inch wide and goes down maybe a quarter inch. The bag is from 2011, I think. Do you think this will get worse over time? Or do you think that it will stay as is? Really want the bag, but if it is going to spread all over, that is a problem.
Love them all!! It is such a beautiful bag and I really love that it's one you see less often.C'mon people!!! I know I am not the only one with the Noé on tPF!!!
Here are my babies:
If you look at the upper left hand corner, right above the blue flower, you can see what I mean. I didn't see it when I bought it and it was not in the description. I think you can also see it a bit between the purple and pink flowers on the second photo. Now that I look at the bag in daylight, it looks like it goes almost half-way across the bag. It is ever, ever so slightly pink about 1/4 -1/2 inch under the vachetta piping. If it were to stay this way, I guess it would be ok (although had I seen it I would have not bought it at full price). But if it were to spread down, or get worse? I don't know how/if these things progress. I paid a lot for this bag because the rest of the condition of the bag is superb. Oh! The bag is from 2007, not 2011 as originally reported. If you or anyone can offer some guidance, I would be SO grateful. I love, love the bag - but don't want to be kicking myself a year from now if it turns pink

Leatherprince sells replacement Noe drawstrings on Etsy and the price is about $30. I paid $65 in the LV store in King of Prussia. I wish I had known as there is no difference. I also bought a tab from him that slides up and down so I don't have to tie the drawstring each time.Using my 1989 pre-loved petit noe to work today.

Thanks for the tip, chowlover2! I also saw that McCraft Leather on Etsy has replacement drawstring. Will need to make an order soon as both the drawstrings on my petit noe and regular sized Noe needs replacing.
Have also bought from McCraft, I highly recommend both and their products!
In love with this and how it looks on you! Green is a great color and I love your twilly choice. What size is it, petite or GM? Would you mind sharing how tall you are? I’m 5’6” and I can’t tell if a GM would be too overwhelming on me, but I would love to have an epi GM! I also have to decide on a color
Hi, thank you for your kind words. I am same height as you and I think the petit noe fits so much, don't see a need for a GM. I would on the other hand wear a GM in canvas, just makes more sense. Colour wise, I would get a black or a red, these are classic colours. My instagram has load of pictures of all my noes, moriahmcqueen. thanks again.In love with this and how it looks on you!
