Ooh, would love to see pictures of the two side by side for comparison. I have the camel and love it.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
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....

I prefer the snapped look too. I'm still no closer to deciding on the color. I was hoping to take advantage of the free shipping but now quite a few colors are sold out
Here they are! I tried to capture their true color under moderate natural lighting as best I can. But your screen resolution may cause some variation on the color.
Hope this helps
Strangely, the taupe looks darker and more yellow in the uploaded photo. Apologies. Here's the shade that I think represents its closest taupe color from my eyeballing between my screen and the bag:

I’d like to know this too...I saw a few old posts where the duties were apparently lower when ordering in Euros instead of USD. Can anyone confirm?
Hi. The US “promotion” says for one bag. That’s how it always is. An order for $800USD or less from them isn’t taxed when coming into the US. So if I order multiple items and stay under I don’t have to pay any custom tax. Normal Canadian customs would still apply. The free shipping is the only real promotion regardless where you are.
These are gorgeous!!! Thanks for posting the pics. I’m considering these colors in another bag. This is very helpful! Enjoy your beauties!Here they are!

Thanks for the kind wishes! I'm really excited to take them out and show off a little, even though the best outing these days for me had been walks in the park only lol
On another note, I notice that my nano bags came with a funny smell, not a typical leather smell. Anyone else notice it with their bags? Do I just need to air them out a bit, or apply something to them to get rid of the smell?
Numero Uno Nano Question!
Hi everyone! I have the iPhone 12 Max Pro, so the biggest iPhone. Those of you who own the numero Uno nano, do you think my phone will fit? Thanks!

I have the iPhone XS Max and it fits. Not sure if our phones are the same size, but hth!
I don't have anything of this brand, but I like this brand and their bags are awesome, I love the bag which is in a picture.
I ordered a couple weeks ago right when the free shipping started. I also read duty was cheaper if you ordered in Euros so that is what I did. I ended up having to pay $44 Canadian for duties (I am in Alberta) which I was very happy with!
I have skimmed through this entire thread and have been hunting for Polene images online, and think I am finally ready to buy my first Polene bag. I really love the look of the Numero Un Mini in the two-tone camel with the brushed gold latch, but at 8"H x 7"W I think it will look too small on me (5'10" tall & size 12). (I wish there was a size in between the Numero Un and the Mini or Nano, like the small Chloe Drew - 9"W x 8"H x 2.8"D.)
My current plan is to buy the Numero Un in Trio Camel, but I am confused about the size. The Polene website says the dimensions are: 32 X 16,5 X 23 cm, which converts to 12.6" x 6.5" x 9". That is larger than I usually prefer, and the 6.5" depth especially concerns me. On US resale sites like Real Real, the dimensions of the Numero Un are listed as 11"W x 10"H x 4.5"D, which would work for me.
Would owners of the Numero Un please post the actual dimensions of your bag in inches? TIA!
