With its adjustable shoulder strap and drawstring closure, it suits day-to-evening plans—from gallery visits to relaxed dinners—its vintage patina lending character.
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: With approximate measurements of 24 × 26 × 18 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, a 9-inch tablet, smartphone, sunglasses case, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, and a 500 ml water bottle standing upright. Capacity varies by how you pack; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: The Petit Noé is designed for shoulder carry. The strap drop on this piece is about 32 cm, which is generally too short for crossbody on most people. Some owners add a longer strap to wear it crossbody, but that is not original to the model and any extra straps are only included if listed in the product information.
Q: What does the date code AR0974 mean? A: For Louis Vuitton bags from the 1990–2006 era, the two letters indicate the country and the four digits indicate month and year. AR denotes France; the digits decode to July 1994. Note that a date code alone does not guarantee authenticity; it is one of several indicators experts assess.
Q: Is the Monogram canvas leather? A: The exterior is coated canvas. The trim, drawstring and strap are natural cowhide leather known as vachetta, which develops a patina and may show watermarks over time.
Q: Is the Petit Noé water resistant? A: The coated canvas resists light splashes, but the vachetta leather is untreated and will spot if wet. If moisture occurs, blot immediately with a light, absorbent cloth and allow to air dry away from heat. Avoid chemicals or home darkening treatments on vachetta.
Q: Can the drawstring be replaced? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton boutiques can often facilitate a paid repair, and reputable leather specialists offer compatible replacement cords. A new vachetta drawstring will start lighter than older trim and will darken with use. This listing notes a worn drawstring; replacement is straightforward if you prefer a fresher look.
Q: How does the Petit Noé compare to the Noé BB and the larger Noé? A: Petit Noé is a small-to-medium bucket with generous daily capacity. Noé BB is smaller and typically worn crossbody; the classic Noé (large) is roomier for bulkier loads. The Petit Noé usually has a shoulder-length strap around 26–32 cm drop.
Q: Does this item come with any additional items? A: The product information for this listing states no additional items are included. Everything included with the bag is always specified under product information.
Q: What is the origin of the Noé design? A: The Noé was created in 1932 at the request of a Champagne producer to carry five bottles securely. The modern Petit Noé retains the bucket silhouette and drawstring closure in a more compact format.
Q: How should I store and care for this vintage Petit Noé? A: Store it lightly filled to support its shape, in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Keep the drawstring relaxed rather than tightly cinched to reduce stress on eyelets and leather. For deep cleaning or repairs, consult Louis Vuitton’s care service or a trusted leather specialist.
