Polène handbags

[Fancyfree]

I've received my numero un nano in trio camel today. Oh boy I am inlove with this bag, like a delicate croissant ❤ However, this was until I saw how asymetrical the front curves were. It drives me nuts, I cannot look in the mirror, I see only those curves Am I crazy? I would like to exchange it, but I doubt Polene would agree...View attachment 5346116View attachment 5346117

No need to exchange!
I have 3 Numero Un Nanos. 2 of them had asymmetrical bends upon arrival.
I simply unbuttoned the bags and stuffed them, seriously stuffed them with silk paper. Stuffing so firmly that no bends at all. And then I left them hanging in this max stuffed state for a couple of weeks. Then I removed the stuffing and carefully buttoned them again,- problem solved

Even if symmetrical on arrival, squeezing one side of the bag will cause asymmetrical bends .
So I try to remember to (gently) stuff my Numero Uns when not in use. But I have had no need to unbutton them for stuffing after that initial treatment.

Can someone tell me which one holds more - the neuf or umi? Thanks!

Here are pics of my Polène Neuf (reg size) in Blush. First two pics were taken indoors near a window (indirect natural light) and the third pic was taken outdoors (direct natural light). As you can see, the color can look quite different depending on the lighting. I would classify Blush as a warm dusty rose. It looks really nice juxtaposed with cool colors, like gray and black. For reference, the pink velvet bedding in the first pic is west elm color “dusty blush” — the bag’s color is a little deeper and much warmer by comparison. Hope these pics help anyone trying to decide on a color!

Oh, and this is what fits in the regular size neuf if you stuff it to capacity. Three pouches (for makeup, necessities, and odds & ends), sunglasses in soft pouch, LV recto verso wallet with keys, mini umbrella, gloves, mini notebook & pen, airpods pro in prada re-edition 2005 pouch, and iphone 11 pro max (not pictured). It holds a little less than a speedy 25 imho.

Thanks very much for the breakdown of what fits!!! I am considering the larger Neuf, just can’t decide on color.

It would be lovely if they started moving towards adding new & interesting colors for the Neuf like they do for the Un every so often. I’d friggin love the Neuf in the Ivy green, I would buy that so fast lol. The polar would be interesting also.

OMG yes, I would love to see the neuf in more non-neutral colors! Polar would be amazing. I’d also die for a saturated emerald green, vibrant red, or icy lavender.

In terms of the size, I found the regular neuf to be a bit smaller than expected, so the mini must be quite small. I was actually worried the regular was going to be too big/bulky, but it’s a really nice mid-sized bag irl. It holds about as much as my YSL medium Niki, and is sort of similar in size when carried (although very different in shape, of course).

Thank you for the comparison pics! So helpful!

I've personally owned both before, and the neuf holds more! It can fit a regular sized water bottle, but the umi can't. Hope this helps

I broke down and ordered the neuf in the fresh almond But I agree, a polar would be lovely!!!

Oooh please post pics when you receive it! I almost ordered it in the fresh almond so I’m very curious to know how it looks irl!

I just purchased a beri (onze) in lilac on Vinted and I am so excited!

So I actually started out by looking at the Neuf, and couldn't decide on the colour. I love the fresh almond colour but worried that the color looks different on every pic. Then I worried the color is too light for a neuf. The neuf seems so elegant and might be better in a darker colour. And then I read that it might be heavy, which is a huge no no for me. The indecision was so agonizing!

My husband then suggested he would take me to the actual polene store next week so I can check them out in person but I didn't want to wait....and so I just bought the Beri in lilas to hold me over hahahaha.

I am now worried that I might go to the store next week and come back with a neuf AND a dix because I now want them both. I don't need so many bags!

Did you receive it?? How do you like it! We need an update!

OMG. Did Polene just reduce their shipping prices?? My cart said it had to update the price. Shipping went from 25 AUD to 15 AUD. This is dangerous

It just arrived!!

I love it!! The quality is just as everyone says. I don't think I will make it to the store this week as I pretty much predicted given our tight schedule with work so I'm so glad this is gonna tie me over until we can go. I'm definitely more motivated to go now!

I do have to say though the color is closer to dusty rose and very little hint of purple so I am definitely gonna have to see the color in person before I decide on a fresh almond. The pics are taken under natural light.

I am also impressed that it fits my Clemence wallet and my keys on a coach skinny!
