I have the Numero Un and while I do have to hold the flap back with arm or hand (I wear my bag on my left shoulder, so using my left arm or right hand) but it's very easy to open and shut with the magnetic closure. It's a lot less of a hassle than most of my other bags!
If go for one of the green trio, def recommend the croc flap. I got suede (croc wasn't available in that color in 2018) and wish I had the croc. On my next trip to Paris, I will pick up the blue Numero Un with the croc flap.
Raising this question as I just got message from Polene that I could potentially return the bag: I just received my regular size number Sept and I love it. One thing though, I was surprised by the closure as when opening the bag the lock seems a bit wimpy and I have to pull it almost all the way up to open (and the lock feels loose, not snappy like expected). Also closing it, the snap is not very clear... I was a bit surprised as I've heard some people saying their lock was quite tight in the Sept and the snap significant when closing i. I am slightly worried mine might be defected. Anyone with Sept and could confirm the quality of the closure?

Well, I decided I couldn't wait and just put in an order for the Numero Un in blue croco. Shipping is supposed to be in 6 days, hope it comes before the second week in December when my friends and I are doing a girls' short break at a spa hotel in Gstaad (we're going before the winter season officially starts, so the hotel is giving an almost 60% discount). I definitely want to take this along! This will be my fourth Polene bag -- I have the Numero Un in trio vert (suede flap), the Numero Deux in noir croc, and the Numero Six in terre de sienne.

hi, if you prefer monochrome look, maybe you should look at polene numero un nano? they have monochrome camel that is gorgeous. I'm not a fan of different color on polene's flap myself.
as for other pros and cons: I have Polene numero un mini and I don't find it tricky to get in and out. But i find the chain strap very heavy and not comfortable in summer on bare skin, so for me it is strictly cooler weather bag when i have some layers. I still love the look and the bag and would pick it over Puzzle. Goes beautoful with everything from jeans to dresses. I don't own Puzzle but I've read it is a pain to get in and out due to small opening.
I think the Numero un looks good on you ladies in most of the pictures(I scrolled through all the posts lol). But I noticed most of you are quite tall , I presume 5”5 and above .
I would love to buy one but I’m a little shorter than 5”2 and I worry about it being too bulky on someone my height .
are there any ladies around my size and find the bag too big and bulky or did they work just fine ?

Hi everyone, I am planning on buying a numero un nano but I am not too sure about the leather. Is the textured leather similar to saffiano leather? I am not a big fan of saffiano leather, but I like the colors of the textured leather more than the smooth calf...
Frankly speaking, I don’t like the leather on Celine belt bag, so I wonder if the textured leather is more like 1) saffiano, 2) Celine leather? I think I may be able to feel ok with Celine type of leather...
Please help! Thanks in advance!

I'm 5'4" and a Size 4-6 and I think the Numero Un is a nice size on my body type! The main part of the bag hits my hip bone when I have it hanging on my shoulder.
Polene has free international shipping from now until December 20th. No promo code given, so it should just be automatic.
I would love a numero un nano in red and in the same shade of purple Coach Haley you and I have. The bag in those colors would look so adorable!! I have yet to order my first Polene but I would have pulled the trigger today with those colors!
If the Neuf didn't have those weird edges sticking out at the bottom I'd have bought it pre-order and paid shipping.
Ugh that's annoying... It looks like they got it backwards and those stitches were supposed to be inside the bag by pushing the leather corners inside. Looks like they took the way way out.. oh let's do something different so it will be easier to stitch. Lol.
