The Azur GM Noe is no longer listed on the EU websites… is it really discontinued?

I just checked the US website and they have both the regular and BB Azur Noe on there. The Azur Noe is place in cart, too.

I just got a preloved Noe GM in brown epi in fabulous condition.
Now on the fence how I like it. What do you think? I like the shape but there is one thing which bothers me: the smell… It was advertised as having no smell. But it smells so strong vintagy, that I am not sure what to do. I currently contemplating returning it, but then I like it and am watching videos how to remove the smell…

ouu I love it. But if the smell is really bad or you can't get rid of it then I would return it.

I think it's stunningly beautiful. If you can somehow get rid of the vintagy smell, then I would definitely keep it. It's gorgeous on you. Hopefully you can get rid of the smell. Where did you get it from?

Thank you! It is so pretty and functional in size! I also love the Epi color. It will go with so many outfits! And the Epi leather is near perfect. I bought it via a luxury preloved bag shop, who also have a physical store in Hamburg, Germany, but also sell online.
The smell is bothering me, but not super super bad. I already started airing it and trying some of the online tips I found to see if that helps with the vintage smell. I am away over the weekend and am excited to see if it helped anything when I come back! Will report how it goes.

Is the lining sawn to the bottom of the bag, or could you pull it out?

Oh, I did not check. But I think it is firmly attached. Will check, when I come back! Good tip!

I’m 5’3”, is that too short for the MM? Can’t try on, not close to store. I saw it on someone and picked because I do want a bigger bag for summer though. Please help!!

I don't have a MM, but I am 5"2' and I am wearing a GM in the photo a few posts above (with the brown epi Noe GM). Perhaps that can serve as an approximation? The GM is big, but very functional and I think just is tote sized on me. As the MM is shorter, I guess you will be fine.

Here is another pic. I decided to keep it. Smell is already better after airing it a few days, hope it will vanish with more use. Also I checked, Alcantara lining can be pulled out for cleaning! Thank you @MaggyH for the hint!

You could try a carpet cleaner in spray. Spray some on a cloth and rub the lining with it. This should clean the lining and remove the smell. Of course try it on a small area first

Weird… could it possible that LV is trying to pull different bags in different countries “offline” . Since the Neverfulls are almost all available in Europe, but not in the US.
Many Speedy versions are not on the website in Europe and bags like the Azur Noe gm and petit Noé mono are gone.
Just a thought…

View attachment 5816439 Looks great! I decided to venture to preowned because the one I really want is the mono, pink lining, braided handle and the cross body strap is thicker two toned. The whole body is mono, bottom too, hoping that makes it more squishy. I know it could make the bottom sag too. Trade offs. But I really wanted a bigger bag for summer. I dragged out an old pm totally and attached a crossbody strap to it, it’s actually working out very well. Dh wants to know why I don’t shop my closet more often. I haven’t worn the totally for years…but it never seems worth selling, you get so little for them. Plus this was my mom’s and she never splurged on herself.

Hello Noe lovers. I am wondering if anyone had any insight on this Petit Noe? The grommets are not stamped Louis Vuitton and there is not a date code. What years would this bag been made? Thank you for your time and insight

That would concern me that the grommets don't have LV stamped on them, or that you can't find a date stamp code. Could be from the late 90's, but not sure. Have you purchased it, or wanting to?
