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!

It's beautiful! :love: :love: :love: Congratulations!
 
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!
Love it, congrats!!!

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 :love: 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!

Amazing!! Did you have to pay duties by chance? I believe if its over $800, you need to pay for duties?
 
Long time lurker. I received the Polene Huit mini the other day and noticed a dimple in the leather (front and center). I emailed customer service to return/exchange and was told that they were not manufacturing defects. The dimple is still prominent even when filling the bag with necessary things. I am in the US and returning would cost almost a third of the bag. Below are the photos of the dimple and Polene’s response.

Just wanted to get some opinions! I am not new to luxury handbags so I am disappointed that the bag did not come in pristine condition. Thanks!

Oh that's too bad. Honestly, in the second photo it's not really noticeable but what if you try and rub that area with your hand from the inside pushing outward for a few minutes?
 
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 :smile:

Wow, this:

cannot fit a regular water bottle, like on its side along the bottom? That’s surprising but good to know!

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

Nice! Looking forward to seeing pics when you get it!

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

WHAT. Haha that WOULD be dangerous!

Gorgeous! Congrats! I have this color in the Cyme and agree - to me much more dusty pink than lilac.
