Joining the club with my first classic Noe! 
My vintage petit noe, still deciding on whether I’ll keep damier azur petite noe bb! It seems so delicate, I’ve been afraid to use it!
This is how I use mine too
Still thinking about getting the Noe pouch. How are you liking it so far? My other thought is get a Neverfull PM and cinch the sides in and put rings on, and wear w/crossbody strap. the Neverfull pm would b ea little bigger than the Noe pouch I think. Looking at your mod shots the pouch is so darn cute, but seems roomy. Also for the price is it worth it? or should I put that toward the NF pm.?
I personally would not add a crossbody strap to a Neverfull as they aren't meant to be worn that way. I don't think it would hold up over time and therefore would cause premature wear. I have a Noe BB that holds a lot more than the Noe pouch so it is a better option if you think the pouch won't hold enough for you. The pouch holds more than I thought before I got it, but you would not want to overload it after adding rings and a strap as the original intent was not to wear it as a bag so that can also cause premature wear over time with too much weight. When I have worn it, it was with the same amount of items I would put in my Pochette Accessories (so not much). I was lucky to have bought it when it first came out and was closer in price to PA at that time ($550 or something before tax). A lot of people think it is worth it at the current price as well. I would have agreed if they hadn't increased it within a month of release. That kind of thing makes me jaded lol.
There are YouTube videos on what can fit and how to make it crossbody if you want to review to see what you think
Thank you so much for the reply!! I didnt even think of the Noe BB!! I have a EPI Petit Noe, which I love, but dont want to carry a large bag right now. I wanted a smaller, open bag, that I could carry crossbody. I have a Favorite MM(good size) and 2 Pochette Metis(favorite bag) but dont want to open the flaps. Just want to reach in and grab my wallet or phone out. I wish I would have purchased the Pouch when I first saw it at the lower price. It seems like the perfect size for wallet, phone, lip gloss, sani, and 1 other thingI personally would not add a crossbody strap to a Neverfull as they aren't meant to be worn that way.

I’m not sure how the strap would work using the side hardware on Neverfull PM... would they take the weight?
When I was in Paris purchasing a Forte Dei Marmi Neverfull MM, my CA demonstrated cinching in the sides and catching the 2 rings in the clips of a speedy strap. I asked him if the bag could handle that he said yes of course. (its kinda like how a pochette metis is constructed for the strap connections. Leather loop with D ring riveted to bag) I have worn the bag like that occasional, but mostly use its own handles. And I dont abuse or over load my bags (I pick one for the amount im going to carry). I do agree with what @paula3boys said about it. I think longtern use would not be good
I have read about 40 pages of this thread (started at page 300 so as not to overwhelm myself) and I must say I am in love with the Noe.. specifically the Petit Noe!
I have a toddler and I thought that it’d be the best bag to alternate with my Neverfull MM. The GM might be too big as I am only 5’4”. What do you ladies reckon?
The Petit Noe in monogram has been in my cart for a week and suddenly it’s already out of stock! I called the store and they said I can pre-order it for a 3-10 week wait time.

I'm 5'9" and I have the Petit Noe - but that said I think the Petit or the GM would look fine with your height. It's an amazing bag and my PN is my daily driver. I'm finding I have to force myself to change bags. It holds a LOT and I don't keep mine as full as it could be. I definitely like to use pouches as things can get lost in the bag otherwise - but that's true of the NF and any larger bag really. I also love that I don't see Noe's everywhere I go. I see NF's EVERYWHERE (I have 2 so I don't care that everyone has them - but I also enjoy carrying something different as well). I also see a lot of the Pochette Metis - but rarely see a Noe of any size.
Good luck deciding!
Thank you for your feedback. I am now on the hunt for a Petit Noe. After reading through the thread and seeing photos, I think this would best fit my needs. Now, I’m torn between getting a new one or a pre-loved. There’s currently no stock here in Australia and will require pre-order with a 3-10-week wait time. Pre-loved ones are mostly vintage and are outside the country. I’d like to experience the leather turn from light to the beautiful honey color so it might be best to just pre-order.
