I´m not MmeM24, but mine holds one Toyota car key (not fob), a mini torch, and two rings with 4 keys each in the main compartment. In the zipped compartment at the back, I always carry 1.000 Euro in cash, folded (medical emergency, last-minute plane rebooking at airport, car rental etc- sometimes CC´s are rejected).

Oh, and it´s also survived (with keys and cash intact) a cold-water washing machine 45 minute cycle :-p

The full size Noe is such a great heavy load day bag. I’m not afraid to pack it since it was meant to carry a lot. It fits with room to spare for a work snack/lunch I usually throw on top:

My work 14” laptop & charger in a padded sleeve (has to go in sideways).
Toiletry 19
Agenda pm
Midi pochette (the one that came w/bucket) slightly bigger than the mini
Wapity case
18 oz Yeti with coffee
Micro pochette
Reading glasses

It’s heavy but the thick strap of the Noe makes it comfortable.

I have been toying with the idea of a Noe. My only concern is all the light colored leather on the bottom of the bag. I'm sure you've heard that before. I know the patina is the desired effect. I love the look!

Mine is old & beat up but the bottom actually looks great! I’ve thrown it on top of snow that got on my car seat a few times too when rushing. Can’t even tell. I need to get the top trim replaced at some point but otherwise this bag holds up very well & carries a lot:)

Thank you! I just assumed since it was light colored leather I would need to baby it. I think I might jump out there & get one. How long have you had yours?

I was used to vachetta before this bag but the bottom also gave me pause - I bought mine preloved at a great price. I was afraid of ruining a new bag & really wanted to use it, not baby it. My bag was made in 1997. I’ve had it since 2016. Below are pics of how the bottom looked when I first got it VS now. Not much difference.

The only thing I’ve done that was too careless with this bag was wear it immediately after applying sunscreen on a lake trip. The sunscreen left marks on the strap underside that I couldn’t remove. It doesn’t bother me anymore though. The leather string basically disintegrated after 20+ years so I use a bandeau.

I went back & looked at your previous post & saw you had the full size. Is it much bigger than the petit? I guess it could serve as a tote, right? I am looking for a tote but don't want a NF.

I use it in lieu of a tote. I don’t really love totes. They’re always falling off my shoulder. This fits just as much! It’s taller than the petite. I’m 5’2” and don’t think it’s too big. The thick strap makes heavy loads much more bearable than tote straps.
