i picked up this vintage louis vuitton noe bag in really rough shape (see last photo) and fixed it up. the strap is original but the cinch cord was missing so i added one. the bottom was really scuffed up so i repaired as much as i could and then painted the bottom and the strap purple. the leather around the top edge was almost completely disintegrated so i replaced that with a new trim. all hardware (except cinch) is original. this is such a cool bag and it was a really fun project! it holds a LOT and is comfortable to carry. please look carefully at all the photos as this is not in perfect condition (think more like MK’s kelly bag) and i’m not a professional i just love project bags. OOAK! i’ve worn it out a few times and have received a lot of compliments. it’s great as a carry-on bag, fits under the seat easily and holds so much! i bought it as a vintage bag, seller told me it was authentic and i have no reason to doubt that it is, but i have no proof of authenticity since i didn’t personally buy it in a LV boutique.
