LOUIS VUITTON REVEAL | VINTAGE NOE | AMAZING EBAY FIND!

[@chercher6711]

She’s in amazing condition! Congrats! I got one a couple years ago and it’s such a great alternative to a tote when you need to carry a lot. I actually prefer the vintage ones to the new ones!

[@LValiquette]

Yes, the vintage ones are way more carefree and I love that they already have some nice patina. I'm so happy to hear you still love yours!

[@amasiagordon1679]

It’s so funny I’m watching this video because I too also purchased a vintage LV from a Japanese dealer who also is next innovation! I purchased a vintage 2003 papillon 19 for $350 from them and I’m obsessed!!!!

[@LValiquette]

Next Innovation is the best! Congrats on your papillon! What a great price.

[@Kankurey]

I’m here because I love the way you say bag with your Canadian accent. With much love from Cali!

[@LValiquette]

LOL! It’s so funny, I get that a lot! I didn’t even know I said it strange. Hope you’re doing well! 💕

@@LValiquetteLol I’m also from Vancouver and I had no idea I said it different either 😂

[@Mary_305]

Yes! Congrats on your LV Noe GM. I have one also made in 1988. I prefer preloved the quality is better than now. Thanks for sharing.

[@LValiquette]

Yes, completely agree! The older bas seem to be better quality. Glad to hear you are enjoying yours!

[@DaniOchannel]

That's a beautiful pattina. I love watching videos on vintage and preloved purchases. There's always so much more story in the process. Also really appreciate the tips 😊 Xx

[@LValiquette]

Yes, I hit the jackpot with this patina! I do love the hunt for a great vintage bag...and saving money! Hope you're doing well 💕

[@michelletate6301]

So I bought this bag after watching this video. 😂 I kept an eye out and found one from 2019 but had pop spilled on it. I took it to LV for the leather to be replaced but because it did not patina evenly (the sides) and got a discount on replacement but still cost a pretty penny. Still way under the cost of the bag and I'm happy I'm gonna get almost brand new and beautiful. Now I can watch it patina. And a big plus, almost all my LV bags I bought in 2019+.

[@LValiquette]

Congratulations! So happy that you were able to get the leather replaced. With all the price increases…going preloved is worth it!

[@marcybtvs]

seeing this now because I ahve been obsession over this bag.. I saw a girl carryng this and my heart actuallly lept...like seeing your crush walking towards you LEPT...hopefully I can get one soon .. love your reivews

[@LValiquette]

LOL! Definitely check the preloved market for it!

[@cnntansingco]

Gorgeous gorgeous bag! The patina is picture perfect. I bought mine vintage as well and it’s the perfect bag to hold a ton of stuff. The vintage aesthetic is so casually cool - I love it!

[@LValiquette]

YES, completely agree with you! Something about this bag being vintage and having such a nice patina makes it that much cooler!

[@cicileigh393]

I love the Japanese sellers, too! I got a VERY vintage (no date code) Noe a few years ago for $450. It's beautiful and it didn't smell musTy either. Win-Win! Congrats on yours!

[@LValiquette]

That’s an amazing price! The Noe is such a beautiful bag. Happy to hear you are still loving it!

[@vandakat]

What a gorgeous, gorgeous bag!! And for that price, in that great condition - what a find! Please do an updated wear/tear, WIMB and mod shots/how to style. Enjoy and thx for sharing! 💖

I live in Ontario just outside Toronto, I just purchased an LV bucket bag GM with pouch off ebay in really good condition for $700 Cdn. I'm excited for it to come.

Ahh I love this bag! I bought a vintage one from 1992 from FB in December and it's also amazing condition! The only thing I did was buy a leather tie from Etsy to replace the original but it looks like it's from the original. Bag twins!

[@LValiquette]

Yay! Bag twins! It's honestly such a gorgeous bag and I'm glad you found one in great condition! I was looking at getting a replacement tie on Etsy too. The shipping to Canada is pretty crazy. Would you mind sharing the seller you bought from? ☺️

[@alexmarie93]

@@LValiquette Yes girl!! I bought it from MauttoAccessories. Such amazing quality. I got the color cognac because my patina is the same color as yours so I think that color would match yours as well

[@AnnieJasmin]

I love this bag! I would only get the Noe preloved because this is the only bag I love the vachetta to be darker already ☺️

[@LValiquette]

Yes, completely agree with you. And, I can be way more carefree with it😊

[@MrsDiamonds28]

I just got the petit noe for vday I can't wait to wear it this spring. 😍

[@LValiquette]

Congratulations! The petit noe is gorgeous!

[@kathyn1343]

It is beautiful! I have a vintage Petite Noe, the canvas was in great condition but the top vachetta was all chipping when it arrived. I had that and the sides replaced for $180 us, I left the bottom bc it was fine and not really visible. It is my favorite and most comfortable bag by far. Congrats!

[@LValiquette]

Ohh the petit noe is also such a cute bag! I'm so happy to hear that you still love it. Thank you for sharing the prices of replacing the leather.

[@mary-elizabethsilva9008]

Hi, I’ve been eyeing this bag for years now and I go back and fourth whether to sell some bags and buy new (if that’s even possible) or if I should buy pre-loved through eBay because of the very reasons you pointed out about stressing about new Vachetta. I just can’t seem to be able to see past stains and tears. I’m definitely going to watch your buying pre-loved video but have you done an updated whats in your bag with the Noe and how you’re liking it still? Thanks for all your info!

[@LValiquette]

Definitely go the preloved route! It definitely took some searching and patiently waiting for the right bag and a good price. If you can find one with minimal stains, or if there are on the bottom of the bag and not as noticeable…the bag is much more carefree!

[@Foxfirebrown1234]

I bought a LV monogram noe yesterday from a person whom I've known for years that sell pre-owned authentic and fake bags. I purchased it for little of nothing knowing that it was fake. Did LV put a serial # on the vintage Noe? It is usually located on the side under the vacchetta strap which holds the strap.

[@amyc9649]

Beautiful bag! Can you also teach us how to clean the pre-loved leather bag? like what product to use....etc?

[@LValiquette]

Thank you! I have a video on how I cleaned up my Montsouris MM on my channel 😊.

[@shopwisemama7323]

Yay! You got your bag! I think a lot of Japanese retailers are also either reducing prices or reaching out to international customers because the country is not open to foreign tourists so they need to make up for lost business somehow. Anyway, congrats and glad the process didn’t take too long!

[@LValiquette]

Ohhh that makes sense! I didn't even think about that. I'd love to go to Japan to visit some of the stores someday.

[@Dsmith-jw8jl]

Just wanted to say hello and love your style.. that bag is On my wishlist love it

Congrats on this bag. It’s just gorgeous and in fabulous condition for its age. I’m in Ontario and our taxes are 13% so it really adds up when you’re paying luxury prices. I’m so happy for you. I know you’ll enjoy wearing it.😊💖🙏

[@LValiquette]

Ohhh I hear you on the taxes! We are just under you at 12%. It can definitely add up when buying luxury!

@@LValiquette the taxes are truly ridiculous. That’s what makes me think twice before buying. That bag brand new would be over $2300. You got a great deal!😊❤️

[@angelalee6459]

Hi Lauren, I found a vintage noe bag for $400 CAD including tax. The only problem is there was some cracks on the top of the leather trim. But no other issues overall. Not sure how much to replace just the trim at LV store. Not sure if it's worth to buy.

[@agentbagreviews]

You found a beauty! To find one like you did with literally zero water stains and just even patina is awesome! I regret selling mine :-( Enjoy your new find!

[@rezelmendoza7409]

Great buy! I bought a Noe GM from a Japanese seller on eBay for $315 total after shipping is $390 back in 2018. The condition of the canvas was great but the trim was dry and flaked off and it was missing the drawstring but the strap and the side and bottom vachetta was fine. I finally took it to LV to see how much it would be to replace the trim and drawstring and for fun get an estimate to get all the vachetta replaced and to my surprise it was reasonable at $330 for all the vachetta to be replaced so nowI am impatiently waiting to get it back.

[@LValiquette]

Ohhh that’s not bad at all to get the leather replaced! I’ll probably get it done too eventually. Thanks for sharing the info!

Hi Jocelyn! I have a video on my channel from a few years ago showing how I clean my LV Montsouris. I generally like to use unscented, non alcohol baby wipes and then a shoe cleaner. I use a few different conditioners - it’s tricky because I live in Canada so we don’t have a lot of different options I see on KZbin.
