Hi everyone! I’ve been obsessed with looking at bags from this brand lately, I finally placed my order for a Numero Un Mini in Grey! I thought the color combo was stunning and I love when a brand offers a neutral color that isn’t just black. Can’t wait till it comes!

I’ve been really into these newer leather house bag brands lately (Polène, Mansur Gavriel, Strathberry etc) and love the focus on craftsmanship at a reasonable price point. I’m also looking at the Numero Huit, would love to get that in the mint shade! Polène is really speaking to me with their color options I think they’re all so beautiful (particularly their neutral tones) and even the pastel shades don’t look too crazy. I’ll share pics as soon as my bag gets here!
Be sure and check out Massaccesi. Premier leather and quality, personalized custom orders at a very low cost. Plus personal contact with the designer!
 
Do you guys think it’s better to purchase the Numero Sept in smooth grey or in textured craie/white? I really like the white one, but I’m worried about color transfer and not sure if I’d like the fact that it’s textured.
 
My Numéro Un came today! I'm really happy with it, it's the exact size I thought it was and very roomy. I'm not a big bag person, so I never carry a ton of things and this looks like it will hold all my items easily. The color combo is also gorgeous and unique for my collection :heart: The back pocket fits my phone (iPhone 11 Pro regular size) perfectly as well which I always love on a bag! The closure is really secure but also very easy to open and shut, I can't stand when a bag needs 2 hands/to be taken off your shoulder to get in/out. Will definitely purchase more from Polène in the future!

One random thing I find interesting is it doesn't say Polène anywhere inside the bag like there's no brand tag/stamp, it only says the name on the hardware and on a tiny little made in tag.

For color reference, both of these pics were taken in my bedroom with the lamp on, I haven't seen it in daylight yet!

Sure, here you go. It's hard to photograph the interior due to the opening. This is what I will likely regularly carry in it, plus the phone I took the picture with. While a small wallet did fit, it felt overstuffed and harder to get things out. I would definitely say the color is a neutral but does read more as a blush nudey pink to me than a true beige. It reminds me of ballet slippers. There are no interior pockets, just one open compartment lined with suede and stamped "Polene" and "Made in Spain" in the center.

Wondering how the numero huit has held up for you now that you've had it for half a year? I don't own any Polene so am not sure of leather quality and durability. Thank you!
 
Anybody have insight/tips/advice on choosing between the Un Nano and Sept full size? Completely obsessed with both haha

Also, I read briefly in this thread that some people thought the Sept in textured leather was not that great--but why? Was this in reference to textured vs smooth, or Sept textured vs Un textured? I'm new and learning more about leathers, so please forgive me!

just read the return policy!!! I am out $85 because I had to pay to return a bag that I didn’t like.
