Louis Vuitton NéoNoé vs Neverfull: questions

Is the NéoNoé BB big enough for everyday?

It fits a phone, wallet and keys comfortably; choose the MM if you carry more.

Does the NéoNoé have leather trim that darkens?

Most versions use coloured calf leather trim rather than vachetta, so they don't patina the way a Neverfull's handles do.

Which is more secure?

The NéoNoé, because the drawstring closes the top; the Neverfull is open.
