Louis Vuitton Unboxing | Why I Returned My NéoNoé | Repacing It With The Perfect Bag!

[@anitasfavorites4821]

Listen, you’re so right when you said you never know how a bag works for you until you carry it. At this point in our bag journey, we know we should get what we’re satisfied with! Your new bag is so Gorgeous! The Alma BB reminds me of the Dooney zip-zip satchel and I love that silhouette! Hope you LOVE your new bag❤

[@foreverebony]

Finding what works for us is definitely key! I’ve got a feeling that this Alma BB is a forever bag for me ☺️ and I can see why you love the silhouette, it has a timeless appeal! I'm really looking forward to using it ❤️

[@Neetabeeta1972]

TFS! I have the same Neo Noe…bought it when it first came out so it’s been several years now. IDK what it is but I never reach for it😢. You were smart to return yours as soon as you realized it was a no. I find myself buying and selling for a loss far too much so I’m trying to be more mindful and also cut my losses early before the interest on the bags I’m looking to sell fades. Thanks again.

[@foreverebony]

I totally get it! Sometimes we just don’t reach for certain bags, even if we love the look of them. I’m glad I returned mine quickly too. It's tough to avoid buying and selling for a loss, but cutting our losses early is definitely the way to go. Tfw! ❤️

[@DazzleMe77]

You are so right, you never know what you will like until you wear them. So glad you are happy with your new bag! Shes gorgeous and your guitar strap looks amazing with it. Your nails are gorgeous 😍 TFS❤️🫶🏽✨

[@foreverebony]

Thank you, sis! I was so set to rock my NeoNoe all summer, but you really do have to try the bag out to know if it’s right and it just wasn’t working. But I’m SO happy with my new Alma BB! 😍❤️

[@DazzleMe77]

@@foreverebony so true!!! So glad you’re happy! She’s beautiful!

[@YosheaLux]

I have the Neo Noe! I don’t have a problem with mine digging in me. Sorry if did not work out. I do love your replacement as well. I have 3 Alma bags and love.

[@foreverebony]

3 Alma bags? That's amazing! They really are such beautiful and versatile pieces. 😊

[@djking247]

I was hoping the Neo Noe would work for you but happy you found one that you will get more love from. Tfs and enjoy your new Alma, she's beautiful

[@foreverebony]

I was hoping the NeoNoe would work too, but it just wasn't quite right for me. I'm already loving the Alma BB though 🥰 Thanks for watching!

[@tailindsay2433]

I enjoyed your video. The alma bb is on my wishlist. I really like how you paired with the guitar strap. It's a perfect match.

[@foreverebony]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, the Alma BB is a really good bag! Hope you get to add it to your collection soon! ❤️

[@angellechic]

This is my absolute favorite LV bag. I don't use her often, but I love her. She is definitely a classic piece. I've never heard anyone say that about the Noe. Thanks for letting us know.❤❤❤

[@foreverebony]

I can see why it’s your favorite; the design is truly classic! I wish the Neonoe had worked out, but honestly, I couldn’t be happier with my Alma BB!

[@TheHopefulminimalist]

Ebony!! Bag twins 👯‍♀️! I am so sorry the noé didn’t work for you. It’s so odd because mine is so soft around the areas you pointed out. I do have to agree on the Alma being very versatile and a bag you don’t have to worry about. It’s all weather! I hope this purchase works out 😊

[@foreverebony]

Twinning! ☺️ I was so excited for the NeoNoe, but it just wasn’t working out. My Alma, on the other hand, is perfect and is already working out really well… I can’t wait to add another one to my collection!

[@DBrooks-i3w]

Great bag Ebony and definitely a classic which you can never go wrong with! Neo Noe has always been problematic for most people exchanging it for something you know you’ll carry makes sense! Enjoy the bag and TFS 😊🤎

[@foreverebony]

Thank you! I agree, the Alma BB is such a timeless classic, and I’m so happy to have it in my collection. Swapping out the NeoNoe for it was definitely the right move. Can’t wait to enjoy carrying it! Tfw❤️

[@Licia1318]

So true. The bucket style bags are very cute but I have never found them to be functional for me. The bags with the dome shape are my favorite❤❤. So glad you found something that suits you better.

[@foreverebony]

I’ve always wanted an Alma, but had no idea I would like it so much! The shape is so practical and stylish. I couldn’t be happier to have it! ❤️

[@DenishaBell]

I couldn’t agree with you more .. you do t know if that bag is for you until you wear it .. I also said I will stop purchasing bags for my shelf. And I love that strap. I think you made the right decision going with the Alma BB she’s definitely a classic. I feel you can wear her with casual or dressed up.

[@foreverebony]

I wish the NeoNoe had worked out, but carrying it really was the only way to truly know it wasn’t a fit. I'm excited about the Alma's versatility though-I can't wait to dress it up and down!

[@RobinCookie]

Love that shape of your new bag! Some bags just have to be returned. Enjoy! Tfs 💕

[@foreverebony]

Thank you so much! Yes, sometimes it's just how it goes with bags. I'm really loving the shape of the Alma BB! ☺️ Enjoying it already!

[@Mirella_MtOlympia]

I think you made the right choice! The Alma is beautiful!🥰🥰🥰

[@foreverebony]

Thank you so much! I'm really happy with the Alma, it's such a classic beauty! ❤️

[@momambition]

Oh yes! The Alma BB is definitely you!! I like that you returned the neo noe quickly. Great video as always sis! TFS ❤

[@foreverebony]

Thank you sis, I think so too! 🥰 I really wished the NeoNoe worked out, but it just wasn't the right fit. The Alma BB feels absolutely perfect for me though. Tfw ❤️

[@FIERCE50PLUS]

I hate the Neo noe didn't work out but glad you realized it before it was too late. So happy you returned it so you didnt have to take a loss. The Alma BB is so pretty and such a classic and you’ll have it for a long time. Congrats Ms Ebony!

[@foreverebony]

I'm bummed about the NeoNoe too, but I'm glad I figured it out early and avoided a loss. The Alma BB is such a classic, and I'm happy to have it in my collection for the long haul! ❤️

[@SuzWhat]

I’m so happy you found a bag you really love. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛

[@foreverebony]

Thank you! I'm really happy with this one. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@victoriab2932]

Love the Alma! I also had the neo noe and returned it - my issue was the strap. I thought it was way too thin for the size and weight of the bag. Otherwise it was a gorgeous bag and like you I hated to return it. Enjoy your Alma!

[@foreverebony]

Thank you! I totally get that- the NeoNoe is beautiful, but sometimes the details just don't work out. I’m loving my Alma BB though! ❤️

[@victoriab2932]

@@foreverebonycan’t wait to see a WIMB and I’d love to see how you compare with your Speedy. Reason being, I love the Alma and this video came at just the right time as I have been considering it for my next purchase. The problem I have is that I struggle with having two of the same print (or two of the same bag) because I feel like I will have a hard time choosing which one to carry. So I’d be interested in your thoughts on how you choose between carrying the Alma or the Speedy. I know, clearly they are two different bags, but given they are the same print and they are both top handle bags, that would be my struggle. Also would love mod shots to see how it wears crossbody with the new adjustable strap! Thanks again for sharing!

[@foreverebony]

@@victoriab2932 I’m not a fan of doing WIMB videos since I tend to carry the same few items. Once my bag organizer arrives, I’m planning another video to show all the updates on the Alma BB, including the new adjustable strap. I'll try to include a mod shot, but no promises... I'm a bit of a perfectionist and it takes forever for me to get the right picture 🙃

[@victoriab2932]

@@foreverebony no worries I completely understand! 😊

[@NothingButBags]

I couldn’t hit play fast enough!!!! I’m so sorry your Neo Noe didn’t work out. I’m not a bucket bag person so I definitely prefer the Alma for you. I still don’t like the guitar straps 😂 BUT it does look beautiful with Damier ebene. And while I wouldn’t necessarily like it to wear it looks super good hanging from the bag. I LOVE the Alma. It is my favorite LV bag hands down!!! I have 2 myself. I think this one really is perfect for your collection. ❤❤❤

[@foreverebony]

I’m still in my feelings about my NeoNoe, but this Alma BB made up for it BIG TIME! Haha, I know you’re not a fan of the guitar straps-meanwhile I’m in love with them 😆 I’ve been watching your Alma videos all weekend trying to decide if I should get it, and I’m so glad I did. It’s such a classic, and I know it won’t be my last one! Thank you so much for all the genuine love you show my channel; I appreciate you so so much! ❤️

[@ladyb7588]

I was never a fan of the Neo Noe from the beginning. I never liked that the middle zipper section wasn't secured at the bottom. I don't like my items shifting from one side to the other. Also I already have the petit noe. I'm glad you finally hit a bag that you will love.....enjoy.

[@foreverebony]

The middle section didn’t bother me at all. I actually had bag organizers to prevent my items from shifting around. I have so so many bags, but really wanted the Neonoe. My Alma more than makes up for it though, it’s perfect! 🥰

[@mommyface2675]

GREAT CHOICE, SOMETHING ABOUT THE NEO NOE I DIDN'T LIKE. I LOVE THIS LIL BAG. ENJOY.

[@foreverebony]

Thank you! There’s definitely something about the Alma BB that just feels right. I’m loving it already. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@AllAboutPurple]

Aww thanks for honest review sorry it’s not working The Alma BB is beautiful

[@foreverebony]

Sometimes it’s just not the right fit. I’m really loving the Alma BB though-it’s perfect! 😊

[@derbywinner6316]

I’m not a fan of bucket 💼 . Definitely, the Alma is one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing.

[@foreverebony]

Totally get it! The Alma is a classic for sure. Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@tangiessubtleluxuries]

I love my Alma BB and have the non adjustable strap. I like the strap period bc the strap is too thin. I your guitar strap. I'm thinking about purchasing another strap for it.

[@foreverebony]

It’s a really great bag, I can see why you love yours. Adding another strap can really change up the look!

[@moknowsbeauty]

Aw man, that's unfortunate that the Neo Noe didn't work out for you. I do hope the Alma BB is a better carry for you. I wouldn't mind adding that bag to my collection, but I need to go and play around with it first.

[@foreverebony]

It really is a bummer that the Neo Noe didn’t work out, but I’m really loving the Alma BB so far! For some reason, I thought you already had it in your collection. It’s definitely worth checking out in person!

[@moknowsbeauty]

@foreverebony Aww, that's so good that you're enjoying it! Unfortunately, I've never laid hands on one, but I will soon😉.

[@Restless318]

happy for you

[@foreverebony]

Thank you so much! ☺️

i had a bucket bag before and i decided to sell it

[@foreverebony]

I understand completely. I really wanted the NeoNoe to work out, but I’m really happy with my Alma! ☺️

aahh yesssss the alma bb is perfecttttt ❤ i have the nano alma, have had it for about 7 months and it’s holding up amazing. mine is the purple epi leather. deff one of my fav lv bags in my collection 💜

[@foreverebony]

Yessss, the Alma BB is perfect! The purple Epi leather on the Nano sounds gorgeous, and I’m so glad to hear it’s holding up well. Definitely a standout in any collection, I can’t wait to get another one!

[@deborahmartin3304]

Yes, the Alma. I have the PM is black leather. Thought the BB would be too small. The guitar strap goes well. Thanks for sharing.

[@foreverebony]

@@deborahmartin3304 The Alma PM in black leather sounds stunning! I was also worried the BB might be too small, but it actually fits more than I expected. Glad you like the guitar strap combo! 😊
