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!

LOVE this!! :heart:
 
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.
thanks for taking time to reply
 
Is that Monochrome grey the same as pebble grey? Does it look like more beige in real then actual grey? Been aiming on that color too! Thank You

sorry yes, that is the same. It is not a true grey but it is not truly beige, I feel like the colour in the pics is quite an accurate representation. I will take a pic comparing to H etain (quite a brown grey) and H graphite (quite a true dark grey). the most recent H grey is quite a true grey and it is more beige than that. in the same colour range as H etoupe and Celine souris but better than both of those - and darker than Gris T

When it's full it's not comfortable. I was able to get all my stuff into it but then it was just too heavy for a chain. So I tried this ( https://etsy.me/2EYXWka ) and it's very comfy: IMG_2596.jpg

I've decided I'll probably mostly use this as a more dressy bag, with the chain, without quite all my normal day to day stuff in it. It's very elegant but this novelty strap makes it more casual.

The bag looks wonderful with the strap!

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 just got back from Paris and went to the Polene store and was undecided between the mini in beige with the suede flap or in grey. I went with the suede and leather beige and love it.

Not sure how thick the Longchamp pochette is but if it is very structured and more than 1.5” thick then you may have a problem fastening the flap. Keep in mind that it tapers at the top. I’ve included a picture. That said, if the thickness of the pochette works, you will have plenty of space at the bottom of the bag. This small bag fits much more than my LV Favorite bag. I easily can fit a small wallet sunglasses with hard case iPhone 8 Plus, LV mini pochette and misc items.
