Wow it’s beautiful! And interesting that it’s more blush than nude. Do you think it skews more pink than beige/nude/neutral? Does it have any interior pockets? If you have time, would love to see some photos of the inside with your items in it. I have a Numero Un Mini, Numero Deux and two Numero Un’s so I’m debating between the Numero Huit regular or mini.

I’m anxiously awaiting a review, too! I love that the bag is convertible. The straps look more comfortable than the chains on the un mini.
Sure, here you go. It's hard to photograph the interior due to the opening. This is what I will likely regularly carry in it, plus the phone I took the picture with. While a small wallet did fit, it felt overstuffed and harder to get things out. I would definitely say the color is a neutral but does read more as a blush nudey pink to me than a true beige. It reminds me of ballet slippers. There are no interior pockets, just one open compartment lined with suede and stamped "Polene" and "Made in Spain" in the center.
It is a very beautiful bag. I've never owned a bucket bag... never saw one that I like until now. I just can't decide on a color... this camel one or the black. My two other Polene bags are in black. It's a safe choice yet still debating.
I didn't notice that until now. Thanks for pointing that out. You've really help me make my decision. I am not a fan of contrast stitching either.
My numero huit in grey is here! This is the regular size. I actually like the mini size as well but I wanted it to be more practical for everyday use.
The colour is TO DIE for. I think it’s more beautiful in real life than on the photos online. It’s a beige/grey/oyster colour- kind of non descript neutral that would go with everything.
I haven’t been wearing bags aside from fanny packs lately with quarantine and all but I’m really looking forward to taking this one out!
Hi everyone! 
Debating between the numero un nano in camel and the mini in camel also ☺️ I really don't carry alot with me, card holder key pouch and mini pochette maybe. My only concern is that I'm 5'8 and worried that these might look a bit short on me. Would anyone have any reviews of either or mod shots? Also seeing the gorgeous photos of the numero huit I might have to consider this also.
Thank you so much! ☺️

There are others including myself who have posted on this thread with the same concern about the mini. Mautto.com will make a customized chain for you that looks similar to but longer than the polene chain. Mautto will even incorporate a leather shoulder bit for easier wear. If you search this thread for "mautto", you'll find the member's post about the customized chain.Hi everyone!

Beautiful bag and color! I haven't made my purchase yet. I just bought the Cafune Stance, so now I am debating buying another bag.
Perhaps you are all better prepared than I but I took my Polene out for the first time. (To a doctors procedure and lunch, bu given the situation it's been sitting in a box for a couple months but I needed a bigger bag than usual this time.) There was one of those little red bugs on it and I used a tissue to wipe it away, and it left an red orange smear on the grey leather! The smear was much bigger than the bug, of course. Tried water and a wet tissue and hand sanitizer but that lifted the color and pushed the stain into the grain. I was so annoyed - first outing! Managed to get it out at home w soap and a wash cloth and buffed out the discoloration with Honey Leather, but really I should have treated the whole thing with HL before taking it out at all. Maybe that would have made it less porous.
That’s a horror story! It’s lucky you can finally get rid of the smear. May I ask how those little red bugs got onto the bag? I am planning to get a polene bag but I live in somewhere really humid...may need to have second thoughts about this bag...
I was outside, in a city. Just one bug; could happen anywhere. It wasn't a big infestation or anything. Don't use that as a deal breaker.
Easy to get things in and out of, I do unsnap the front two though and it doesn't affect the shape. The closure isn't perfect - I do wish the snap was on the underside of the half moon or that the half moon was on the flap w a magnetic closure. But over all it is fine - I do love the bag.
