Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What are the measurements and how does the Petit Noé wear?
A: This vintage Petit Noé in Epi leather measures approximately 25 cm (W) × 26 cm (H) × 19 cm (D). The single strap is adjustable and offers up to about a 32 cm drop on the longest setting, making it most comfortable as a shoulder bag rather than a crossbody.
Q: What typically fits inside?
A: Daily essentials fit comfortably: a long wallet, smartphone, sunglasses, cosmetics pouch, keys, a small water bottle, and a compact umbrella. A standard A4 folder or a 13-inch laptop will not fit; a small tablet (around 11 inches) may fit depending on the case and how the bag is packed.
Q: How secure is the drawstring closure?
A: The leather drawstring cinches the top to keep belongings in place for everyday use. For added peace of mind, we recommend placing valuables in a small zip pouch and tightening the knot securely.
Q: What is Epi leather and why choose it?
A: Epi is Louis Vuitton’s textured, dyed-through leather introduced in the 1980s. It is known for its structured feel, durability, and resistance to light scratches and occasional splashes, making it an excellent choice for a hard-wearing everyday bag.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather?
A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth and let it air-dry. Avoid oils, alcohol-based products, and harsh cleaners. Keep away from prolonged sunlight or heat to prevent colour fading, and store the bag upright, loosely stuffed, in a breathable dust bag when not in use.
Q: What does the date code AR0955 mean?
A: In the 1990–2006 format, the letters indicate the country and the numbers indicate month and year. AR denotes France; the numbers 0-9-5-5 read as month 05 and year 95. This piece was made in France in May 1995.
Q: What is the interior like?
A: This item features a tonal Alcantara microfibre lining, which is soft to the touch. Avoid overloading with sharp objects and remove loose debris with a clean, lint roller or a very soft brush.
Q: Does the Petit Noé have base feet or internal pockets?
A: The classic Petit Noé design typically has a plain base without metal feet and a single open compartment. If you prefer extra structure or sections, a removable bag organiser can be used.
Q: Is anything else included with this item?
A: Everything that comes with the piece is listed under product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or extra parts is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Can the drawstring or strap be replaced if needed?
A: Replacement options may be available through Louis Vuitton after assessment, and reputable leather specialists can also craft replacements to match vintage Epi. Availability and costs vary; we recommend consulting a professional for the best colour and hardware match.
