Hi all! I've been eyeing this bag for a while but kind of forgot about it for several months, until I saw it again on Purse Blog! I still really like it after all this time so I think it's a sign...just need to choose a color!

I generally get darker bags because I hate having to be careful of stains. But...the baby pink is so pretty! I like neutrals for bags generally since my clothing is brighter and want an easy outfit match. I like black croc and khaki green the most, and I think the green is neutral enough...but I don't have anything baby pink! Just paranoid it'll get dirty.

What do you think I should choose? Thanks for your input!

I have the pink and while I baby it, I don’t worry about when to carry it like my LV mono Speedy or my Balenciaga Day. However, since fall is approaching, I’d get green.

Has anyone shipped the Numero Un Mini to Canada? I want to order it but worried about duties! Shipping is $25 I assume that's FedEx? My sister is in Italy right now, but won't bring it back for me. le sigh. I'm thinking the new Terre de Sienne colour as it's so unique and I could use a brown little bag.

I've been going back and forth for MONTHS on these and I'm close to making a choice... but those of you who have the trios, does the suede get dirty easily/discolor? That's been my major reservation, despite the stunning colors.
 
So, I have patiently waited to put my two cents into my experience with receiving my Polène Number One in Pink.

Today is Sep. 7 and I was originally supposed to receive my purse on Aug. 27th. Turned out, it never left Spain due to some custom clearance issue and it was being returned to sender...

I had to search Polène’s website to find a phone number to call them. Long story short, they apologized as said that they will clean up the paperwork mess and I will receive my order soon.

Fast forward, I finally received my package after more than 2 weeks, open the box and they sent me the wrong color. They sent me grey not pink, I double checked my receipt, and order confirmation and it clearly stated “PINK”. Back to calling customer service...wish me luck.

Mine must have had the same customs issue, but it finally arrived today after initially saying it would be here 8/30. This is definitely a unique addition to my bag collection.

I also have had the same experience with delayed shipping. I ordered my numero un bag on August 27th and it has yet to arrive. Yesterday I wrote customer service and this was their response

Dear Madam,
Thank you for your email and your order.
We realized that there was a problem with your delivery and asked our carrier to correct his mistake. This is why you may have received a message saying “Returned to the sender” (our carrier). We then made our best to make your parcel leave their warehouse as soon as possible as it was stuck in Spain for several days.
However, the problem is now totally fixed and you will receive your parcel within 3 working days maximum.
According to your above tracking number , your parcel is now in transit.
Please accept our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience.
Have a lovely day,
Polène

I have been tracking the bag and it is now in the US and supposedly scheduled to arrive Monday! Fingers crossed I will receive the correct bag I ordered. Nervous now reading above posts!

So with the six you are definitely in it for the cuteness factor, not functionality. I don’t think an 8 plus phone would fit. I have iPhone X, keys w/ fob, a tiny lipstick, and some kleenexes in here. There is an inside pocket that CC and cash can go in.

Thank you! It sure is gorgeous! I would get one in a heartbeat but it would have to hold my iphone 8 plus.
 
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: View attachment 4160061

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.

I spent a while looking for a T-end additional strap to replace the chain and didn't think about attaching a regular clasp to the chain - brilliant idea and the strap is gorgeous!
