Question for those of you who have one of these bags with a flap... does the flap get on your nerves? Is it similiar to a flap on something like the Chanel Boy where you have to hold it with one hand for the bag to stay open? Or can you sort of flip it backward and it will stay there while you're rummaging inside the bag? TIA!

My numero un mini doesn’t get on my nerves. I feel like it’s easier to close than the boy bag. My numero un nano is annoying to close though, and I’d say more inconvenient than the boy bag.

Does anyone know if Polene has sales? I want to get the mini backpack but I'm waiting to see if they will do a black friday or holiday sale of any sort. Just wondering if I'm waiting for basically nothing lol.

Last year for Black Friday they offered free shipping to the US, but that was the extent of any 'sale' around this time last year.

Do you find it difficult to get in out and out of with one hand when you're wearing it?

Not at all.I keep the snaps undone, so it opens wide and is easy to reach into. The flap comes up and is held in place by your arm. I don't know if this photo helps, but maybe it will. Excuse the work clothing. I love my Polene bag! The only complaint I have is the black lining. NO bag should ever have a black lining!

I live in Canada and I'm afraid of the duties attached to this bag (in addition to the USD conversion). For those of you in the US, did you guys pay duties too? Or did you just pay for the bag + shipping?

How is the weight on this compared to your other strap since this has less leather, more chain? Is the difference quite noticeable? I’m thinking of getting less leather like 18-20 inches.

Sorry it took me so long to reply! Both straps from Mautto are very light—much much lighter than Polene-supplied straps. Neither Mautto strap is really heavier than the other. Hope that helps!

May I join the Polène thread?
It’s my birthday next week and I decided to pull the trigger on a Polène numéro un nano in Royal blue. I placed the order and received it in less than a week. The bag is stunning: gorgeous colour and it feels very high quality. The only negative point for me is the strap length. I wish it was a bit longer but I might swap it with a chain strap I purchased on Etsy a while ago.

Can someone help me decide between Polene numero un mini and Loewe mini puzzle handbag. Two different bags, but it has to be 1 or the other, I’m not in a position to buy two. I generally prefer mini handbags, and to use everyday.

Planning to wear them with white, cream, beige, brown or black outfits.

Polene numero un mini
  • Cheaper
  • Prefer the chain over leather strap, this can take me to day to night (although can be con as can only be worn with gold things)
  • Button closers might make it tricky to get in and out
  • I’m not a big fan of the different shade colour on the flap closure, I prefer a monochrome look
  • Think it goes better with dresses than the puzzle

Loewe mini puzzle
  • More expensive
  • Leather strap, can wear with either gold or silver jewelry (I wear both, but not mixed)
  • More casual than Polene
  • Prefer the darker tan brown colour over the Polene shade Is
  • No obvious branding (pro)
