I am considering adding the Epi Denim Petit Noe to my collection but am a bit concerned about stiffness. I've scoured the threads here - for those of you that have the Epi version, are you happy with it?

I don't want a mono version because of the vachetta base. I also love Epi Denim but maybe this isn't the bag for it.

I have the Noe BB in Epi & I don’t find it too stiff at all. I love it. Super light & easy to carry. Very happy with it:)

Hi Ladies,

I am new here and have a question. I hope it's ok for me to ask this question here.

I have a red Epi Noe that I bought in mid-90's. It has been sitting in my closet for the last 20 years because the lining has a big hole. I had already replaced the lining once before that. I do not plan to get the lining replaced once more time. Rather, I think it's time to say good-bye to it. I loved this beautiful bag so much and the condition is still good except for the lining. I am hoping to sell it to someone who is willing to get the lining replaced by herself at a Louis Vuitton store (or anywhere else) and gives it another chance to be loved. So, I am wondering how much it costs to replace the lining. I contacted Louis Vuitton but I was told to take my bag to a store for an estimate. I do not want to spend more money when I am not even sure if I can actually sell it even for a couple of or a few hundred dollars or so.

What would you do? I would like to hear your opinions! I appreciate your help!

I had a hole in the lining of my black 90’s noe repaired here in the Uk for £110 but it also had a repair to the top trim. It’s possible the lining repair was around half of this cost. I regularly use a soft organiser (purse to go not a felt samorga style) for my speedy 30 in my noe and it fits perfectly. This could possibly be a solution to keep using your noe without repairing the lining.

Thank you so much for your comment, Bags_4_life! Wow, it's so affordable. I didn't remember how much I paid for my first lining repair since it was such a long time ago...(late 90's).

I also have a speedy 30 and a liner. So I put the liner into my Noe. It fits so well! I never thought about it. Thank you so much for that brilliant idea! The hole in my Noe is just above the zipper (I used to put heavy stuff in the pocket, which caused the big hole).

Thanks again for the information! It really helps!
 
Hello Everyone,

So happy to be a part of this club. Just got my LV Noé BB today in Damier Azur (Made in France the 9th Week of 2020). I cannot believe that this is my first Noé in the 37 years that I have owned various pieces of Louis Vuitton! Thank you LVCoffeeLVer for your informative YouTube videos (What’s in My Bag/Noé BB and How to Tie the Cord on the Louis Vuitton Noé.

Question for those who may know... Any rhyme or reason to LV releasing Epi versions of the Petit Noe? I love my Mono Petit Noe SO VERY MUCH and I'd really love to have an Epi version as well. I could be pre-loved - which I don't necessarily mind. But I'd love to buy new in a fabulous, fun color. What gives? Anyone have any insight/thoughts? I feel like a Epi Petit Noe would be my holy grail LV bag (though I wouldn't be angry with an Empreinte or Mahina verision - but now I'm really dreaming)

I have an old Epi petit noe and it is a lovely bag. Carefree and easy to match with my outfits. However, that leather tie is a pain.
