Love!! Happy to see another fellow Canadian rockin' Polene. It's such a beauty, enjoy it!
I have received my Numero Un Mini in monochrome pink and I adore her! The pink is a little bit more peachy than I expected but I’ve noticed that the colour does change in different lights so sometimes she does look more blush. Either way I think it’s a beautiful and classy bag and will not be my last Polene purchase. The quality does feel to be very good, I can’t fault her. The packaging is also lovely and the dust bag is the best quality of any dust bag I think I’ve ever had. Very pleased!

Trio burgundy croc is beautiful! If I wasn't specifically eyeing a dark green one I may have gotten that insteadSiblingsI own and love the Trio Burgundy Croc
Gorgeous!! I don't think I've ever seen the mini in that colour before. Just wondering, is the chain strap comfortable? Some people say it's uncomfortable, but only if you make the bag too heavy?
In my opinion, the chain strap is uncomfortable and makes the bag very heavy. The chain strap is the reason I use my Mini very little, I wish Mini had Nano's strap or at least a leather part in the middle of the chain strap.
Does anyone else dislike the full chain on Mini? Maybe we should ask Polene to sell a leather strap for Mini?
I love the look of Mini, the quality is nice but that chain strap is just a miss for me.
I’ve not been able to use her yet as I haven’t been anywhere but I’m guessing that it probably could be uncomfortable after a while and I bought the bag knowing that. The chain does have some weight to it so for me I will only use her when going out for lunch with friends, that kind of thing. I don’t think I’d wear her for a day of walking around the shops or anything like that but I’m still totally in love. I don’t have anything in this colour and think it will be a really nice bag for Spring/Summer. That being said due to the chain I wouldn’t wear her with a vest top or anything like that but most likely over a t shirt or light jumper.
I've decided to bite the bullet and buy myself a Huit (regular) for my birthday in a few months...but I can't decide on the color! If anyone has more photos of their huits, I'd love to see them!
Some days I want the Fresh Almond color (bc I feel like either that, or the nude, complements the petal-like structure nicely), other days I want Camel, Grey, and even Black, because these colors are more neutral and go with more colors (which means I may get more use out of it). Then, with Almond and Grey, I worry about color transfer, but that's to be expected...

That's a real shame @Julija and @MsKaren 
I was hoping people were just exaggerating or they're just overstuffing their bags or something but I guess not. Personally I don't carry much - just keys, credit card (no wallet) and a mask, but if it's already heavy and uncomfortable with nothing in it then maybe it's not worth spending over 500aud. I don't like to buy anything that's not practical.
In that case, I may get another nano (in lilac vs my current burgundy nano) because I already know how lightweight and easy to wear it is. The choice was between a mini or another nano.

I don't have a Huit but I really like the design. I think the pink is cute but the black really showcases the design. Fresh almond however is amazing! If you think that would match your wardrobe then go for it! It would be so unique.
In my experience, the chain is uncomfortable only when I'm wearing spaghetti straps or thin fabrics, because then the chain digs in more into my skin. Otherwise, I don't recall having issues with weight, but of course, that doesn't mean it may not be an issue!
