I thought about it some more and I found a way to double up the strap for the un mini!!

I'll see if I can post a short video below...

I had to use a slightly thinner chain from a different bag but it works really well. (Hopefully I can order another chain in a matching color... Right now mine is gunmetal ) Its the chain from my coach Bowery bag. I might just buy another Bowery off Poshmark just for the chain .
 

Oh thank you for this!!! Very cool how you’ve managed to do it :)
I admit I decided not to buy the un mini in the end because of the chain, but having a double chain should increase the comfort.
I am currently on a self imposed bag ban though so I shall just continue to window shop online for now hehe…
 
Here’s my little Polene family:

Numero huit mini in Taupe
Numero un nano in smooth camel
Numero un mini in polar
Numero sept mini in green lizard
Numero dix in black
Beri in chalk

so pretty!!
I’ve just found Polene and considering either the Huit mini or Un nano
(Not a fan of the chain strap on the mini but size wise the nano only appears to be 1cm small!!??)

would love to know you opinion on both and if you could only have1 which would you pick? Oh and can your phone fit in the rear pocket of the nano??

sorry for all the questions!! So hard to compare when you can’t see them in person!!

Hi everyone, inspired by all your sharing of pictures of your bags (thank you!!!), here is my Polene collection. In case thIs helps some of you with your bag-buying decision. i like colors, as you can see.

back row from left to right: regular Huit in cognac; huit mini in fresh almond; regular un in green croc.
front row from left to right: nano in lilac, black, and chalk.

all colors showed up properly, except for the nano in lilac which appears more pink than it does IRL - the lilac is somewhat more purplish.
I use the cognac and black the least. I like the mini Huit in fresh almond the most Since it feels special, and it’s just the right size for me.View attachment 5411512

Stunning!
I just asked a similar question to rayceline

But I’ve just found Polene and considering either the Huit mini or Un nano (Not a fan of the chain strap on the mini but size wise the nano only appears to be 1cm small!!??)

I only want 1 bag and I see in your comments you prefer the Huit - is this still the case?? Do you have trouble finding your things inside because it’s all in and open bag??
Alsocan your phone fit in the rear pocket of the nano??

Hi!

I think between huit mini and un nano I would probably pick the un nano, it looks nicer crossbody and I find myself reaching for it more often as it’s more secure, both are beautiful bags. The huit sticks out a bit more if you wear it crossbody so I find it looks better worn on the shoulder. Also dislike the fact that you can’t disconnect the long strap on the huit mini as I think it would look so cute held in the hand without the long strap. I do prefer the leather on the huit mini though, it is soft and luxurious but feels like it wouldn’t get damaged too easily. The smooth leather on the un nano I have is gorgeous but feels more delicate and personally I don’t love the look of the textured leather that it comes in for the un style. The textured leather is on my dix which I love for that more structured style, but I personally don’t think it suits the soft curves of the un.

My phone can definitely not fit in the back pocket of the un nano, the only thing that could fit in it would be a card or maybe a very very slim cardholder.
