My closest LV is 2 hrs away so hoping to streamline my choice and make a purchase in a single trip!

I am looking to down size. Currently carry Neverful GM or Speedy B 35 as an everyday bag so when I say down size I mean relatively speaking. Not likely to ever carry a bb size. I mostly carry on my shoulder though like a cross body option. Since I carry a bigger bag I like canvas to keep it light.

I am pretty obsessed with the NeoNoe monogram with noir details but obviously have never tried this on. See lots of posts on the Odeon.

Would welcome any input on NeoNoe and suggests for other bags I should consider. Oh and can the NeoNoe accommodate a long wallet?

I have the neonoe, I never wear it crossbody because I'm short (5'3") and it's too long on me. It will hold a full size wallet. When i want to mix things up I'll carry it, but usually not for very long. Maybe a day or two at most. I like it but I don't love it. I love my pochette metis (I have 3), I'd highly recommend you check that one out while you're there. The PM can hold a full size wallet but I tend to use a compact or slim wallet when I'm carrying it.

I recommend the Odeon MM. Definitely try it on at your local store.

Nothing wrong with NeoNoe, but it's very boxy, and you would bump into things carrying this bag. Of course, it's open top so you get to stuff it to the brim.

Before you go in, call to talk to an SA and seek some recommendations. Then when you schedule to go in, make sure he/she has them in store for you to try on.

Happy shopping.:biggrin:

Update:

My trip to LV was thwarted by…Covid

However I have spent my convalescence watching videos and reviews. In the process have changed my mind on my crossbody choice. Still have to try it on, however, barring a major lost in translation moment in person planning to get the Noe BB in DA. Such a classic bag and love it in DA!!!

I had the monogram neo noe for a few weeks I didn't love it. It was very boxy as others have said and I felt it was too tall for me I never filled it nearly half to the top. I sold it and went to Hermès and balenciaga but came back now looking for my perfect LV bucket again (still) and I'm going to try the mahina Bella. Love your final choice! Neo noe was just not for me.

I highly recommend the Odeon MM in Noir. It’s comfortable to wear. Comes with a very nice thick strap. The bag perfectly lays against the body and is light. It holds a lot and the outside pocket is very convenient. And with the Noir, it makes it an all weather bag. It’s one of my favorite bags and will always be in my collection.

Have you try Boulogne? It’s not bulky for crossbody, can use many different ways, worry free, not heavy at all, and can fit a lot. I used to have NeoNoe but never wear it crossbody because I think it’s too bulky.

Very nice bag! Classy and versatile. I am trying to decide between this and the Odeon pm. I feel like the extra $ for the boulogne may be worth it because it can be worn several ways, and dressed up or down. So tough to decide!
