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)

I love my Polene Numero Uno. Granted it is the full size, but I just love the shape. I like the chain strap on the Numero Uno Mini, so that's my vote :)

My Polene Numero Un in navy croc arrived in just four days after I placed me order, so kudos for that. I will do a full reveal later, but I was a little surprised to see how dark the blue was. In fact, if you are debating between getting the navy croc or a black Numero Un, there is little difference. I had to go outside and compare my new Polene to one of my black bags to see that it was actually blue. tbh, that is a little disappointing, I would have liked the color to be a more vivid blue than the inky, near black blue that it is. It's definitely not as blue as it appears in the web site photos. Just an FYI.

Great to hear how fast you got it. Sorry about the color being disappointing. I can't do do near black navy blues either. I want my navy to be clearly navy that can't be mistaken for black. I returned a midnight blue Coach for the exact reason.

Sorry about that. :hugs: I won't buy a navy bag, because too many of them have the exact problem you are dealing with. Too dark - might as well be black.

Has anyone had to return their Polene? I ordered the numero un nano and the crossbody strap is too short for me. I have it packaged back up to return and am slightly confused with the process. They sent me a Pro Forma to attach to the outside of the package. When printed it’s the size of one side of the box. I’m unsure where I should attach this. Any help with returns would be greatly appreciated! I plan to return through USPS international shipping being that the costs seem to be the cheapest that way. Thanks in advance!

Please read back through this thread about sending one back. One lady encountered problems that never were resolved....something about having to CLEARLY indicate that this was a return so customs did not get involved and charge you. I don't know where you live but you may want to call your local customs office.

I am considering the uno bag. Can anyone share with me if they've had trio camel or the navy moc croc and how it's worn? I'm debating between the two colors, and I'm not sure which will wear the best? I like the idea of the trio camel as the interior will be lighter, but I'm pretty concerned about how it will wear. I do tend to wear bags every day for months on end, so it would get continuous use. So anyone who has had their bag, I was hoping that you might be able to share how it's worn?

I bought a navy croc second hand and it had been used enough that it had softened a lot. There were no marks on the leather anywhere. I don’t have it now. I downsized and had a black one too, so one had to go.
