This Louis Vuitton bag? Or this one? Decisions, decisions..

[Bluebluemoon39]

I have several designer bags but have never had an LV - and find myself coveting one!

I admit I've been put off in the past by the many fakes out there but at the end of the day IL know it's real 😂

So the two I've narrowed it down to are the Noanoe (pic 1) and the neverfull (pic 2)

I'm swayed towards the Noanoe but it isn't available in the beige trim colour I like most although I do like the other colours (it also comes in black, pink and red trim and I like both the black and pink).
Does anyone know how soon/likely it is that the beige will return in stock?
Also the neverfull - what are your thoughts on having the personalised stripes/initials printed on it? I quite like it and think it shows the authenticity more (ie I don't think you could get this done on a fake?)

Interested to hear opinions - does anyone have either of these? Any pros/cons? It would be for frequent use - I don't save things for "best"!

I've had the nano noe in pink Epi leather with cherry edging and I loved it so much.

I sold it on as I have quite a few bags and it's a real regret for me.

If it was me I'd go for the nano noe - neverfulls are good and real workhorses but quite large and they are everywhere!

I have the neverfull. If I had to choose between the two you posted, I'd go for the first the noanoe. Agree with a pp, the neverfull are everywhere...I like how the noanoe looks like it hangs a bit lower

I have to be honest and say I wouldn't choose either. Neverfulls are way too common. And I don't like the shape of the other one personally. I've also never liked the way that the Neverfull doesn't properly close - I always think it's an invitation to pickpockets. I wanted something similar sized and went for this one instead. It has a magnetic closure. Mine is the smaller one of the two, but they do it in a bigger size as well.

I do really like the Graceful but again it's not in stock (I only really like the classic LV print in all the bags, I'm not into the checked one) - otherwise it'd be on my list too. The magnetic closure is a good point.

I'm not especially worried about pickpockets though as I'm not in the city much!

Fair enough - buy the one you love! I bought my Graceful as a work bag but I barely go into the office these days, may have to sell

Honestly - none as I would think they were fake.

I live in an area where cheap rip off are rife.

They are both classics.I prefer the Noe' or the Petit Noe' more than the Neonoe. I would suggest going in store and trying them on if you haven't done so already.
In regards of the "fakes" out there,you'll know that is real and people that know what a real LV looks like will also know .
They are beautiful bags for every day use,strong, durable and easy to look after.

Neither of these bags close properly. The only time I was "dipped" by pickpockets was when using a LV bucket bag.

Noé every time. I use mine loads although I had the GM Noé and it was just too big for every day. Mine closes fine, no problems there.

Literally everyone has Neverfulls. I have about 10 LV bags in different styles and never fancied a Neverfull

It depends on your use. I use my neverful for work travel so it’s a bit of a workhorse. I don’t like LV otherwise

Thanks for all the replies. I agree I absolutely need to go in store and have a proper look. The problem is finding the ones I want to try in stock anywhere!

Call the one closest to you and explain that you want to try on these 2 particular styles. They should be able to arrange to have both of them in store before you go in. Whenever I had to deal with the stores I always had impeccable service,both in London and overseas.

I don’t like bags where people can dip their hands in! Get one with a zip.

I have both those, in the Damier ebene. I much prefer the noenoe, and get way more use from it than the neverfull. It’s just more practical for everyday use.

Ooh...

Prefer the shape of neverfull. They are pretty common. The fake thing wouldnt worry me as you'll know it's real. As for zips you can get inserts for the neverfull ( not lv ) which have a zip closer.
