Right after I replied back to you, I received an email from DHL asking me to pay $89 CAD customs online. So there you go folks! Numero Un (regular size) purchased in euros has a Canada customs of $89 CAD.

Haha, great timing! Enjoy your new bag!! Can't wait to see your photos! :)

It probably varies by cost of the bag and which province you're in! I've read of ranges from $40 in Alberta and then $100 in Ontario.

Hi!! I just wanted to share my beautiful new taupe pebbled leather numero un nano that just came in the mail! It is such a cute little bag. The leather feels very durable and is softer than the pictures make it appear. It arrived to Canada pretty quickly (4-5 days from ordering), I was tracking it like a hawk and it bounced through so many airports. It ultimately arrived in perfect condition and was nicely packaged. I'm itching to go out and use it! An FYI for others in Canada who may be wondering - I paid $58 in duties. It was an easy online payment to the DHL website.

This color is very pretty! I have the number un nano in blue and was also surprised that the pebbled leather is relatively soft.

Have just ordered the Numero un mini in monochrome pink, am very excited! Later on in the year I think I will get a nano I think I’m just having too hard a time picking a colour at the moment! Think the pink mini will look nice with blue jeans and a white or grey top, I’m a pretty casual dresser and don’t currently have a paler pink colour so this will be nice for Spring/Summer (when I’m allowed out again!)

Beautiful! Such a unique shape. Let us know how you like it as you use it more. Would be very interested to hear about the functionality/ease of use for this bag.

Also, Canadians do you have to pay duties on anything bought outside of Canada? We have that in Australia but it's only for purchases over $1000. So no problem buying Polene but everything else... ugh. Do you just pay the bag's price and then when it gets to Canada FedEx (or whoever) charges you an additional fee?

We have to pay duty for anything shipped from outside of Canada that’s over $20 which is.... practically everything. Sometimes we get lucky but when we do pay duty it comes up to 25% give or take (including taxes)

I just got my beautiful numero un backpack but I’m disappointed in the strap when making it crossbody. Not sure if I’m doing it wrong but I can’t get the leather straps to match up without the bump. I sent Polene an email about it but thought I’d see if anyone else has this issue.



UPDATE - Polene replaced my bag and it's perfect! They were super communicative and I am incredibly pleased with the level of service. Highly recommend! These bags are just gorgeous.

I would like a review of it as well. It is so cute. The one style I do not have is a bucket bag. I have bought three and sent them right back over the last couple of years. I am still looking for the right one??
