Polène handbags

[Jereni]

This was a two part purchase, and I’ll start with the mini Neuf.

This is, simply put, an instant success. The pebbled leather is soft and feels amazing, the handle is comfortable, and the shape is so curvy and adorable. I love it! Also pleased that putting my phone and other SLGs in and out is easy and not tight at all.



Mod shots:




And as a bonus, the hardware is a good match with an add-on Etsy chain I got recently, so I can dress it up. I’m wearing it like this today.

The second half of the purchase was the Neuf micro bag, and this one is a fail, I think.



I gave it a shot because I decided I liked the idea of it as a bag charm for my Cyme, and overall I don’t necessarily think it’s a terrible look:



However, the quality of the micro bag is not where I’d want it to be. The shape is not quite right in terms of its ‘Neuf’-ness, it’s not as squat as it should be and is more elongated. I can hold it on the sides and push down, and then it assumes the right shape for half a second, but I’d have to train it to do that consistently and I don’t care that much. Plus the pebbled leather is super wrinkly and just doesn’t look good. So, back it will go.

Great unboxing! What's the color of the mini neuf? It's very pretty! I also like the chain you added.

I agree the micro is a fail, which is a shame! This was the micro I was most interested in. The pebbling looks huge on such a tiny bag.

Thanks! The mini Neuf is the blush color - and it is really lovely. Yep, too bad about the micro Neuf but I did suspect it was a gamble.

It looks great! Do you think it would fit an 11 pro max? I have a un nano and it fits the 11 pro max for reference.

Hi all!!!

When Polene came out with the mini Neuf, I knew that it was calling out to me.

The original Neuf is my favourite bag in my collection but I’ve always wished for it to be in a smaller size. I would love to believe Polene heard my thoughts (xD) but they actually came through!!!!

Since I’ve purchased it in the same colourway (taupe), I figured these pictures will show a really good comparison in the size. I’ve also included mod shots (I’m 5”1, 100lbs for reference) as well! You can see the size difference between the original and small Neuf on me.

In terms of capacity, I can fit the following items comfortably: Phone, wallet, keys, umbrella, hand sanitiser, tissue, AirPods, lipstick. The original Neuf could fit all these along with my water bottle + iPad/ Kindle (which made it a really good work bag!).

Overall, I’m mega pleased with the decision to downsize (have already sold away the original one) because I can finally wear this crossbody as well~~ I absolutely love it!

It looks great on you!!! Maybe I'll just have to get one! I have the regular size in black. I'll have to buy a small wallet because my current wallet would never fit!

Hi everyone! I recently bought dix in taupe and am now looking for another bag with larger capacity.
I’m thinking of the regular sized Huit, but didn’t really find much information on reviews on the usage of it. Could anyone with Huit share more about the bag, pros/cons and whether you still reach for it often?

I don’t own this bag but I do love the Dix!! Hope you are enjoying yours. Have you looked on YouTube for reviews for the Huit? I believe there is quite a few videos on there on this bag.

Hmm...
I believe I have figured out why I never end up actually wearing my Numero Dix Hobo... in spite of how I love her look.
She is so elegant.
Yet why do I always hang her back on her hook?

She squeaks !
When I move / when she swings...
Does anyone else have a squeaky Dix Hobo?
