A good family friend who is always in the 'know' sent me a fabulous article on the iconic Noe bag by Louis Vuitton.  She remembered I had one.  It has been in my closet for a good many years waiting for its revival.....and so I think it may be here?


This bag was designed in 1932 to transport champagne bottles (oh my!).  To live in an era when you needed  special bag just for your champagne.  The idea for it to was to be like a bucket bag that would safely carry five champagne bottles.  And now, 81 years later, Louis Vuitton is launching a new smaller version called the Noe BB.... and boy is it cute!  I was so inspired and so happy my 20 year old bag is making a comeback I planned a mini romantic picnic in our backyard as an excuse to carry a bottle of Veuve Clicquot in my now "it" bag even if it is from the kitchen to the yard.

What is sitting in your closet waiting for a revival?

  11. You have had the cutest stories lately. I love it! Isn't it just the most fun to discover things in your closet that seem knew again? I'm moving soon and therefore going through my storage like a crazy person. I have sell/donate/keep piles everywhere but most of the stiff in my keep pile I had forgotten about. Fun!

  22. Lol. I have mine tucked away as we'll but now that I know it's true purpose, it's about to be dusted off and toted about - with champagne or some wine at the very least! When the cops pull me over for this infraction I'll share the article of its origins. Lol
