I’m able to fit my keys, two SLGs, thin sunglasses pouch, card case and change purse.
I have trouble closing the bag with all that and a 9oz S’well bottle, due to its height, even with all buttons unclasped. Perhaps a shorter bottle will fit better, I don’t have one to test. It will fit horizontally in the bottom, but I see the top peeking from the side, so for me, I would carry a bottle aside.

Are you able to use it as a shoulder bag too or is it strictly a backpack?

I'm highly highly interested in getting my first polene bag, specifically the numero un nano. Having a hard time deciding between the smooth calf leather or the textured. I guess there is a price difference but I just want one that's more durable and won't scuff easily. Any help would be great! TIA!!!

Thank you for the pics! Seems like it can still fit a good amount nonetheless. By the way, is that the Cuyana half moon coin pouch?

just got the numero un in camel trio and already have some dye transfer from jeans that have been worn/washed many times :( any tips to remove the stain or protect it from further transfer??? have used apple garde on other bags but not sure with the pebbled leather

Someone asked awhile ago about the new Le Cabas line-up? My tote in cognac arrived last night, very good quality (went through all the stitching this morning) and I was happily surprised with how light it is!

Ordered mine on Sept 24th and expected to get it around mid-october, my automatic order confirmation still said it would be shipped on the 25th. When I asked Polene about this after a few days they refunded my shipping costs and gave me an exact shipping date, all within an hour of my message

This is so pretty! Is the bag somewhat structured? Will it stand up on its own?

Don’t give up yet! Mautto will make you a custom strap. I had them do this for two minis and I have had no problems. I had them make a leather strip with bits of gold chain on either side. The chain they use is so much lighter and the leather part goes around your shoulder so that it’s super comfy. I can’t say enough good things about Mautto! They are so nice and easy to work with.

May I ask how much your straps were?

I have the smooth and am happy with it. It is durable, hasnt shown corner wear yet and is quite hard wearing compared to a lambskin. It does show minimal scratches e.g. nail marks if your inspecting it closely. It isn't the best choice of leather if you want your bag to look new after a year of regular use. I see it as aging gracefully :)

The textured leather will hold up way better if it is comparable to other bags i have had in the past. I personally find that type of leather plasticy and prefer the touch of a smooth leather, but i see the attraction if you want a fuss free bag.

This is a gorgeous bag! Does it fit a laptop/letter size paper?
