Hmm...
I believe I have figured out why I never and 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?

Not a Dix hobo, but my Numero Un Nano strap still squeaks when I walk after 8 months of regular use!

My Numero Dix smaller had this issue, so i just put a bit of hand cream on squeaky handle and it stopped I believe I will have to reapply at some point...

I love how the numero sept (smooth) looks really posh. My iPad mini fits in well!

Beautiful!

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?

Hi, I have both the huit regular and huit mini. I love the mini huit a lot. I find the regular size to be too big for me, so I dont use it often, even though it’s a beautiful and striking bag. the mini is enough for my needs - small pouch, mask, sanitizer, small water bottle, and random odds and ends - and it’s easy to reach in and out. But it’s true the bag is a bit stuffed After that. it All depends on what you like to carry. If you like more space the regular can Comfortably fit more things, but because it’s just one big space like all buckets, its neater to organizer your things. I feel like the regular is similar to my mansur gavriel mini bucket in terms of capacity. I’ve put a picture of the regular huit (in cognac) and MG mini bucket side by side for comparison. One more thing to bear in mind if you’re going To wear it crossbody is that the circumference of the regular huit is not that small, so it will “jut out” quite a bit when you carry it crossbody. Hope this helps, and have fun choosing a color!

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.

Thanks for sharing yes i’m looking at some videos now to make an informed decision.

I’m so indecisive of the colour too! I think black, camel and cognac looks great but i just cannot make a decision

Wow thank you so much for sharing your review and comparison photos! I was very keen on the mini version initially as I was concerned about the bag jutting out when worn crossbody too, but eventually decided to get the full sized one as i already had a smaller bag from Polene.
I loveeee the cognac colour!!

Hi!! I just wanted to share my beautiful new taupe pebbled leather numero un nano that just came in the mail! It is such a cute little bag. The leather feels very durable and is softer than the pictures make it appear. It arrived to Canada pretty quickly (4-5 days from ordering), I was tracking it like a hawk and it bounced through so many airports. It ultimately arrived in perfect condition and was nicely packaged. I'm itching to go out and use it! An FYI for others in Canada who may be wondering - I paid $58 in duties. It was an easy online payment to the DHL website.

Regarding the two sizes of the Huit, I’ve found this video really helpful. She models them both.

Has anyone here bought one of the new Polene belts? Wondering how the sizes are since they are one size fits all.

There are 2 sizes, a smaller size and a bigger size. I wear a size 26 in pants and the smaller size fits me.

Thanks for sharing this feedback on the Huit. Are you open to sharing your height? I worry that the regular Huit would look too big on me, but then again I’m tall so it might actually be good to get the larger scale bag…

Hi, when I wrote that the huit is too big for me, I meant the capacity of the bag is too big for me because I don’t like to carry a lot of things. I’m 5’4”, thin, and the hurt regular doesn’t look too big on me at all crossbody - just juts out a lot at the hip, but I’m pear shaped. (The numero un, on the other hand, looks too big on me crossbody…)

The huit is a very cute bag, if you’re planning on getting one. I have the mini in green (fresh almond) and after quite a while it still looks brand new.

I saw you bought the numero neuf mini, congrats! Thanks for the immensely useful reviews And pictures. now I’m tempted to get a numero neuf mini next.

I'm brand new to this forum, and really just created a profile to ask this question, as there isn't much information to be found on Polene bags, other than here, that I know of.

I bought a Numero Un in Trio Camel December 2020. I used it as my daily bag and by the end of March 2021, there was wear (scraped off leather) on all 4 corners, and I guess the glue, or whatever is on the edge of the straps, has started to come apart in little strings, as well. I emailed them about it right away and they basically said it was normal wear and to use a leather conditioner--but in my case, the leather is just gone, scraped off, not scratched.

They didn't offer me any other options, so I figured there was nothing else I could do. However, I have 2 Furla bags, and recently bought a Coccinelle bag, and all 3, after more use, look completely brand new, which has upset me all over again. I consider those brands to be pretty similar, correct? The corners are sharper on the Numero Un, but is that kind of wear to be expected after only 3 months of use? I haven't used the bag since last year because I didn't want to cause further damage, and have emailed them again, but am I out of luck? I'm frustrated because I felt like I researched the bag and the brand so much, and only saw good reviews!

I will try to post pictures from my phone in a bit.

Thanks for this! I preordered the mini in mint! It's my first Polene bag, too! Unfortunately won't have it until after April 3rd. But I am excited to receive it.
