Do you use your Noes regularly? And how’s the wear and tear?

Thank you for your sweet comments :heart::heart:

I am extremely careful with my LV (actually with all my bags but esp. LV with vachetta on the bottom). They have held up beautifully and only get more gorgeous with character with time. It is why I keep coming back to LV- I have other designer bags but for me, the canvas and the honey leather remind me of a more refined time of travels abroad to exotic lands and old money.

Couldn’t have said it better myself!!

Bought my first LV when I was about 20—it was a black Epi Lussac—this was way before the days of internet and TPF when you could do research until your eyes bleed. Just went into Saks—looked around—saw a beautiful purse and bought it. At the time, I was amazed how “leather” could be so light.

Despite having other luxe bags, LV will always be my favorite because its light-weightness and “hardiness.” I’m not rough on my purses either, but it is an amazing feat when a 10+ year old purse looks almost brand new[emoji33][emoji33].

These are beautiful- what a lovely idea to have the two in different canvases. Perfect!

Thank you. I must now admit that I am not keeping petit Noe because I found a brand new Noe BB in monogram, the one I originally wanted! Petit sticks out too far for me and I have loved my BB since I got it. I try to avoid duplicate style/size, but it was just too hard with Noe BB. It will be here this week!

Good for you to at least have had the opportunity to decide what works for you and get just the right bag. It seems all the Noe are as rare as hens' teeth these days so you are indeed lucky to have found your perfect bag!

For reference, I’m 5’8” and US size 10.

On a daily basis, I carry very little—keys, wallet, and a small pouch for catchall, so the Noe is huge for my needs. However, since Fall is upon us, I find the extra space very useful for stashing a scarf or light sweater (so I can be handsfree when I go into a store vs outside).

Great choice! It looks really good on you!

I am finally a member of this club after searching so long for the perfect Noe bag. Found one in Finland that is from 1991 but the owner has recently had all the vachetta replaced at LV so it looks just as new. I am totally in love. Now I just need to muster up some courage to actually use it without fear of marking the vachetta.

WOW!!! That is a great find. Research the Patina Champ method to help keep the vachetta from staining. I did the method with my recently redone speedy. It takes a few days but it is totally worth it. Enjoy your beautiful bag. :)

If I could turn back time (hehe), I would have bought a Noe 20 years ago, lol. [emoji16][emoji23]

Most of my bags have zippers or a secure flap—I never considered the Noe with the open top *gasp* until recently. The bandeau makes the cinching and opening very easy[emoji106][emoji106].

I hope you track down the OG Noe of your dreams too[emoji7][emoji7].

I had one 20 years ago! The cord broke and I gave it to my daughter...she used it as a toy bag! I had no idea you could replace them! Years later I gave her my LV backpack and she took it to college. When we were cleaning out her room after graduation it was in a bag to throw away! Well that one I saved and passed it on to my niece who still uses it!
