I'm torn between number one or number one mini. I tend to go for smaller bags but I have a lot of smaller bags and I recently got Invisalign, which means I need to carry a lot of stuff with me. Anyone who has the mini, would the Longchamp Pochette, which is 7 ½"W x 4"H, fit inside the bag you think with enough room for a small wallet and a few other small pieces? I feel the number one is a better choice, but I like the chain a lot.

I'm also so undecided about the color. I guess I have a little bit of time since they won't ship until August, but I'm torn between the trio black or the trio burgundy.

I will finally have a Numero Un on the way soon! I had hoped to visit the store while in Paris last summer, but the location was not on our planned route. So, for over a year, I have been hem-hawing about the size, color, etc. Just could not pull the trigger. What did it? One listed on Ebay! The seller was so nice, and it is new/almost new. The color, then, was decided for me. Burgundy! It will be great for fall/winter(I would possibly have chosen a light neutral, which is currently missing in my closet)
I will post pics when it arrives, but a vacation is looming next week, so I may have to wait a bit before I see it.

Here is my incredibly happy update. I bought the Numero Un on Ebay Wednesday, paid for it yesterday morning, and it arrived at my door this afternoon. Best experience ever! The bag is new( I cannot find the smallest issue with it) and I love it. I didn't believe I needed burgundy, but yes, It is such a pretty color I know it will work well with my wardrobe. The front closure snap works like a charm, something I have issues with on two of my more expensive bags.
Icing on the cake( I am flaunting this!) I paid $300 plus $15 shipping. It even came in the original box!

I love the Burgundy. I'm hoping to add a trio in the fall. I HAVE to stop buying things! Polene bags are addicting. Such great prices for the quality. I'm moving from the mainland back to Hawaii next spring and shipping is crazy!!!!

I'm more of a transplant aka a haole lol. My parents moved when I was 9 months old. We moved back to the mainland when I was 10 and have been trying to get back ever since. My sister is still there I'm super excited that I am able to transfer with my job back home. I miss it so much. I go about twice a year. Which island?

Oahu! I'm a haole too. My mom's a Blondie southern belle. My dad is foreign though so I'm not completely haole even though most assume I am.

Hello all, I'm 5'2 in height and was wondering if you all think that the Polene Numero Uno bag would be too big for me? Thank you for your input! I am looking for a "travel" handbag for my 3 week trip to the UK. thanks!

I am 5'6" and was concerned the bag might be big for me. It's fine, but at your height, I might be concerned. Just my opinion, of course! Some weeks bag, there was a post from someone who was... i forget, maybe 5'10" and she really looked great with it--very proportioned. It all comes down to what you are comfortable carrying.
