Annoyingly, the camera on my phone refused to render the bag colours correctly in daylight, so I do apologise for the terrible colours on all the comparison photos. (But for once the Polène website photos are fairly accurate, and
@the_baglover has published perfect photos of Ebony Mocci on the general
Polene thread.)
Mocci is smaller than she looks on the mod-shots on Polène website! And a lot smaller than the measurements on website indicate. While she
is 32.5 cm wide at her base, her top width (both top flap and internally) is only 21.5cm.

So while she is 6-7 cm wider at the base than Numéro Un, Mocci is actually a smaller, more compact bag

Mocci's base width (or is it length?!) of 32.5cm is a mere 0.5 cm more than Numéro Neuf, and the two can be perceived to be of a similar size

but Mocci is narrower "in all directions"

Due to flap top, Mocci's interior is more easily accessible than Numéro Neuf, and her shape is in my opinion better suited to crossbody carry than the otherwise lovely full-sizes Neuf.
Mocci's shoulder strap is fantastic. Wide yet so elegant. Gorgeous stitching.

The studs on the strap have a really beautiful shape - I have never seen studs like this before - I have only ever seen round ones.

And Mocci's base studs/"feet" ... well - they are in a class of their own.
