Its adjustable shoulder strap and secure drawstring keep essentials close, while Monogram canvas with Vachetta trim and gold‑toned hardware complements everything from denim to a smart day dress—perfect from brunch to afternoon meetings.
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 typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Monogram Petit Noé? A: Thanks to its bucket silhouette and our listed Measurements, it comfortably holds a long wallet, a 500 ml water bottle, sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch, keys and a 7–9 inch tablet. For neat organisation, pop essentials into pouches. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the Petit Noé a shoulder bag or a crossbody? A: It is designed primarily for shoulder wear. The strap on this piece is adjustable, with an approximate drop of 27 cm as noted in our product information. At this length it typically sits as a shoulder bag rather than a true crossbody on most heights.
Q: Will it fit A4 documents or a 13-inch laptop? A: No. While spacious for daily essentials, the Petit Noé is best suited to items up to a 9‑inch tablet. A4 folders and 13‑inch laptops do not fit comfortably without bending the corners.
Q: How secure is the drawstring closure in everyday use? A: The classic drawstring cinches the opening and is secure for day‑to‑day carry. For very small items, we recommend a zipped pouch inside the bag. Avoid overfilling to maintain the bucket shape and smooth drawstring action.
Q: What materials is this model made from, and how durable is it? A: It features Louis Vuitton’s Monogram coated canvas with natural Vachetta leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. The coated canvas is light yet hard‑wearing; Vachetta is an untreated leather that develops a honey patina and can show watermarks or scuffs with normal use, adding to its vintage character.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather and canvas? A: Keep the bag dry and away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid contact with hand sanitiser, perfumes, oils and coloured fabrics. If the surface gets damp, blot gently with a light‑coloured soft cloth and allow to air‑dry; do not use soap or solvents. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape.
Q: Where is the date code and what does it mean on a Petit Noé? A: On vintage Petit Noé bags the date code is typically stamped on a small leather tab along an interior seam, or discreetly behind the exterior D‑ring tab, depending on the year. The code indicates production date and country but is not a unique serial number. From 2021 onwards, many new Louis Vuitton bags use embedded microchips instead of visible date codes.
Q: Can the drawstring or strap be replaced if worn? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton offers repair services and can assess drawstrings, straps and trim on a case‑by‑case basis. You can request an evaluation online or via an LV boutique; availability, pricing and timelines are confirmed by Louis Vuitton after inspection.
Q: What is the story behind the Noé design? A: The Noé was created in 1932 at the request of a Champagne producer to carry five bottles; the Petit Noé is the compact version that retains the iconic bucket shape and drawstring closure for everyday use.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section on this page. If a dust bag, box or other item is not stated there, it is not included. Every piece at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house specialists before it is listed.
