I actually think both are equally luxe. Both have excellent workmanship and same attention to detail. Aesthetically wise, Aspinal is a bit more elegant (with all the lovely hardware and structure), while Polene is a bit more casual. I bought a half moon wallet from Polene for my mom before and I remember both of us being awed at how good the construction and quality was for the price. Polene has been on my radar for years and I just got to know Aspinal late last year.
@JenJBS I think you have both Aspinal and Polene too. What do you think? Which one do you consider to be more luxe?
Would you mind sharing pictures of your half moon wallet? I cant wseem to find any online!
