Hi all - like everyone else here I am obsessing over Polene. Couple of questions 1. Does Le Cabas fit a 15 inch laptop? 2. What can you actually fit in Le Beri? And 3. Does anyone here have the 1 in nano and standard and can tell me which they use most and why? The standard size does seem quite big but then maybe it's a good work and travel bag? Thanks!!

I can fit plenty in a Beri and numero un mini. In a Beri, I can fit a slightly thick compact wallet, card holder, lip balm, tissue, wet tissues, keys, mask and an iPhone. Everything fits snuggly inside.

I don’t have the standard size, but I have the nano. They are great for going out as it is small and compact. If you like the design cinched, like on the site, without the clasps open, then it can’t fit much, it has the capacityof the above but without the wet tissues.

I can answer 3. I use the nano most. I am on the petite side and like to wear my bags crossbody. I find the numero 1 too big on my frame as a crossbody, and even though it can fit a lot, i dont carry much and find the bag too heavy. It’s cute to carry as a top handle, but again, I find it too heavy for me. the bag on its own weighs around 1kg. So I use the nano, but I leave the press Studs undone, and I find it works a lot better. The nano is very lightweight but fits all my things, and it even fits a kindle! Because of that I have 3 nanos, and I love them. However, the textured leather in Nano and grained leather for regular 1 are not the same, that is something you have to pay attention to.
 
Hi everyone, I finally pulled the trigger and bought the Cyme mini in Taupe! For those of you that were wondering how wide the bag is when it is cinched - it is around 12” wide!
I took everyone’s advice and purchased from the Euro site to ship to Ontario, Canada. From the day of purchase to delivery, it took 6 days - I’m impressed. The DHL duties came out to $73 (way better than I was expecting!).

Here she is in all her glory!

Yay congrats! I have this in the pink/lilac and I LOVE this bag. It’s a great medium size and so fun to carry by the short strap.

Wear it in health!

Hey, everyone! I was wondering if anyone ordered from Polene to the UK as I am concerned about customs, which is why I am currently holding off buying from them.

How long did the parcel take to get through and how much did you pay extra on top of your order for customs? Thank you!
I’ve made several orders to the U.K. if you order on the UK site then I think taxes are included in the price and I’ve never had to pay any additional customs charges. I have 4 of their bags plus some slgs and a belt. Once shipped the orders only take 2-3 days to arrive, sometimes it takes them a few days to ship though.

Thank you so much, this is so helpful! Will run to place an order then.
 
@Jereni would you be so kind to take some mod shots! It is rare to see the lilac cyme on the Instagram posts. :P

I’m in an uninspiring getup of leggings and an over-sized sweater today bc it’s snowing here, so I dug up some pics I took right when the bag arrived.

The lighting in these is not the best, sorry. Use these for scale reference, not as an indicator of color. The bag is a richer color than this.

hi everyone, future polene lover here!
I'm contemplating buying the numéro un nano in nude, however I've barely seen this colour online, and noticed there was a slight yellow tone to it depending on lighting.

Has anyone purchased any of the bags (not necessarily the numéro un) in this shade and had any feedback/comparison to make with other colours?

Thank you!
 
New colors in the Numero Un and Numero Un Mini on the website! Heather, Polar and Ivy. In the perfect full grained pebbled leather too.
