Hello! I received a tan colored card holder with my purchase during the earlier months of covid, and my bf snagged it immediately. He'd been wanting something small and slimmer so he can just slip it into his pocket, and let me just say he's fairly picky about quality, so that was a good sign. Im not sure about normal everyday use, because we don't go out much anymore, but it's been several months and the card holder still looks really nice and is definitely holding up.

thank you for your help! do you also know if the lining is in leather or fabric?
 
Glad you like it! :smile: The colour is exactly as in the picture, it does slightly change depending on the light outside (that pic was in the sun, on a grey day it looks more darker).

I pretty much only carry it on the shoulder, unless maybe if I'm bored waiting for the tram and swinging it in my hand :lol: SO far no wear and tear at all, but at the moment in the middle of a pandemic I only use it maybe once a week?
Thanks for the info. Is it easy to cinch/snap up the sides? Not sure how it's done, but it looks like you can close up the sides (similar perhaps to a LV neverfull).
 
Also, anyone tried the Polene's Numero Sept Wallet?

I have not been able to find much information about the numero sept wallet either but in the attached video, it is shown towards the middle/end. At least you can see the interior of it.

Thanks for the video!!! Really helpful in deciding whether to go for it. I decided to pass since there doesn't seem to be a slot for bills. Hope their next wallet design will take that into consideration:rolleyes:
 
Hi! I apologize for the poor photos and lighting.

Here are photos comparing the Neuf and the Numero Un. Fairly similar in size, but the neuf is squatter and a bit wider.

This shows the sides. They're sewn together, so they'll always look like this gathered design.

These photos show the opening of the bag -- the first is with it closed via the magnet, and the other two show the opening opened up. I was slightly iffy about this because it seems like the opening was a little too small to easily put things in and pull them out, and certainly, some items will be too large to fit easily. I couldn't get an admittedly thick book in there (the top handle structure can get in the way), but my Kindle slips in and out just fine.

When filled up with two zip pouches (w/ lipstick, chapstick, sanitizer, etc.), a Kindle, my card wallet, keys, and some wipes, the Neuf doesn't look any different at all. I think the neuf in the photo above (on the left) shows it full of stuff and closed.

Hope this helps!

This is extremely helpful! Thank you so much!!! I wish they had put snaps on the sides like the Un. I think it would have added some versatility but maybe it wouldn't have worked with the short strap. It's so gorgeous!!! Now I just have to decide on the color.

Anyone tried getting a custom made chain strap with leather part (where the strap sits on the shoulder) from Mautto to match their Polene numero un or numero un nano bag?

Wondering how either would look with a chain strap (with or without the leather part). If anyone tried this and can share some photos, that would be fantastic! :)

Agreed. It'd be nice to be able to open it further, but I guess that can get annoying. Plus, it's fairly shallow (short?) so maybe things can fall out if the snaps are undone. I will admit - sometimes I get annoyed when I have to snap up all the buttons on the numero un (but I prefer the snapped up look).

Good luck deciding on the color! Good thing there aren't so many options as the un - But it's still pretty tough to choose!
 
Hope it's okay to share some good news here. My numero uno nano in cognac and taupe had arrived! They are gorgeous!!!! The textured leather seems quite thick, so I'm sure it'll be a while before I can break it in/worn it out. I am in love :loveeyes:

They are a little smaller than I expected (or more accurately, as I had expected based on estimating from the photos on their website). In photos, they look like they are about the size of an iPad Pro 9.7" in landscape. In reality, it's more the size of the actual black screen of the iPad....
