The Noé bucket bag was originally designed in 1932. A Champagne producer asked Gaston-Louis Vuitton to develop a sturdy, stylish bag in which he could transport five bottles of bubbly. The Petit Noé is a compact version, made in the iconic Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas and retains key features of the original – the iconic shape, generous capacity, drawstring closure – but is made for modern life.
The leather strap adjusts for comfortable shoulder or cross-body wear. The strap drop is 26-32cm.
This bag is in fair vintage condition. There are some cracks to the top binding and marks to the base, but otherwise it remains a remarkable example of this icon style. To ensure you’re completely satisfied with your purchase, please refer to the images for the exact condition of the item.
The serial number tells us this bag was made in France in 1991.
Petit Noé Bags are increasingly hard to find, in demand and therefore prices remain high, given their potential resale value. By buying pre-owned, you’re continuing the rich story of these pieces.
