Really? I had no idea!! Thanks!!!And for me, it was your photos of and with you black Neuf that started my obsession over this bag, Antonia
My Polene order came this morning. I’ll post some mod shots tomorrow or maybe later. My most favorite and it’s instant love is the number one black trio crock. It’s beautiful 
a good size for shoulder or crossbody. Opens and closes well and can fit quite a bit inside. It’s not heavy at all and the strap is comfortable on shoulder or crossbody. The number one mini is really nice, roomy and love this one too. The chain is a bit heavier than expected and it takes a little bit of work to close the bag up. Over all it’s so pretty, well made, the body of the bag is lightweight and fits quite a bit for a small bag. I really love the strap and overall look of the Umi. The body of the bag is a stiffer leather than expected I was expecting the leather to be like the Le Cabas tote. The strap is nice and stays on the shoulder and is also nice wearing it crossbody. My zipper is not stiff on the Umi but the way the bag folds in the bag just doesn’t zip nice and smooth.This would be my only con about the bag. For a small bag it also fits quite a bit and If it matters to you the hand or your things will sort of catch the zipper track when putting stuff in and out of bag. The opening isn’t a large opening. Going to take a bit to get use to this bag but I really love the size, color and over all shape of the bag and strap. So this bag is still a keeper for now!

I think I'm going to get for my first Polene bags (planned this at least 6 months and watching Youtube videos + hanging here) Cyme and Neuf. However, I was wondering, does anyone have longer experience of Neuf and how the bottom edges are taking the use. Also, does the leather get sloppy or deformed after some use? I appreciate your help and acknowledge highly, many thanks already!!
My Black Neuf and Blush Neuf Mini have arrived
I was a bit worried the full sized would be too large and the Mini too small, but no,- the full sized is smaller than I thought and the Mini is larger than I thought
Ooh la la, the full sized black
I own very many lovely bags, but I actually believe my "Neuf Noir" is one of the top 3 in gorgeousnes. It is SO beautiful. Love the design. Love the leather. Hangs elegantly on long shoulder strap 
The Blush Neuf Mini... Hmm.
I love the size! Great for an evening bag. I find it easy to access the interior.
I love the shape,- so cute, quirky yet elegant. The "tall" handle really becomes it. And the leather is lovely.
But personally, I do not like the blush colour.
Because to me, it is more neutral than pink. More "foundation" than "blush". And I am not a gal who wears warm neutrals... I do not even like warm neutrals
Of course one can wear a neutral coloured bag together with non-neutral clothes....
I have been holding the bag up against various colours. It looks more pink next to white. I quite like it then. Problem is I don't ever wear whites... Next to colours (greens, blues, mauves, wine, reds, even black) I perceive it as "heavy foundation" coloured. Too much yellow pigments. Do not get me wrong,- it ain't yellow. Merely a rich, warm neutral with a pink tint.
So this bag is beautiful but not for me. I wonder if Polene do exchanges?
Black would work for me
, or Burgundy. ( I'd love it in a cool grey or a mid blue!)

I have the Un Nano, which is juuust too small for my wallet, which is about 7.5" wide, so I use a cardholder in that and want to get a bigger Polene for days where I want to carry more! Thank you!

thanks for sharing! Would love to see mod shots if you’re up for it! How is the opening for the neuf mini ? Do you think an iPhone 13 pro would easily be put inside and taken out of the bag?
I am afraid I don't do voluntary mod shots
.If you tell me the dimension of your phone, I can tomorrow see whether I believe it would work
Thank you for your review of the Mini! I agree that the full size black Neuf is absolutely gorgeous. I think you can do returns with Polène but the shipping cost is on the customer unfortunately.My Black Neuf and Blush Neuf Mini have arrived

Would you mind letting me know what you can fit in the Mini?
