How easy is it to match the burgundy color to your clothes? I'm wondering how versatile the color is.
Literally missed this by 2 days and it’s out of stock again. Lol this bag must not be meant to be mine.
Hey all! I'm a big Polene fan and have owned quite a few of their bags over the last few years (I can't remember if it's 15 or 16 to be exact!!) However, I have sold many of them as I have become quite picky with my purse collection and I'm now ruthless about getting rid of anything I don't 100% love.
I wanted to make this post because I personally had a huge problem with the Sept bag (in the larger size) and I've never seen anyone else ever post about this problem. It makes me feel like- was I the only one??? I thought the clasp on that bag was SO hard to open and especially close! It drove me nuts! I tried wearing the bag out a couple times and I was always struggling to close the clasp. It was very pretty, don't get me wrong, but even my bf noticed how much I was struggling with it. I would end up just leaving the bag open because it was such a hassle to close. I ended up selling that bag in both of the colors I bought it in, which was such a shame because it really was beautiful. I also advised my sister not to pick that one when she was looking to get her first Polene, all because of the hardware.
Has no one else ever found the Sept hard to close?? Was I the only one?

I remember watching a review on the Sept where the person also mentioned not loving the clasp. I didn't carry much in it, but having to hold the bag up and having to make sure to line it up just right, and then you have to wait for the click? It wasn't hard for me, but it was tedious and I found I didn't love it. I returned mine too. What colors and size did you get?
This is exactly where I’m at.. I’ve had a few LVs in the last and was looking at the Loewe Puzzle but it’s a hard pill to swallow when one Puzzle is 4K AUD and 3 Polene’s are 1.5k!
There's a ton of what I think are fake polene bags in Vinted now. The reason why I think they're fake is because someone posted earlier that there are now fake bags. I verified the source and there are definitely fakes around. The accounts selling the fake bags on Vinted are all new without any ratings, similar profile to the ones selling fake lv and chanel (which I know are definitely fake). I can't tell fake from real for polene though so everyone be careful if you are purchasing preloved.
Thanks for the reminder. I saw a lot of fake listings on Poshmark too. I did buy two Polene bags from depop, but I was able to talk to the seller before and after, so they were legit. I definitely plan on sticking to buying from the official website, since they're so affordable in the first place.
I second this sentiment. I don't mean this as a criticism to anyone who does buy expensive high end luxury bags, but the idea of spending months of rent or a significant car/house payment on what is essentially a bag does not sit right with me. A bag is ideally a tool you can use daily or consistently, and if you have a lot of them, maybe you would feel comfortable using them a lot but I don't think I would. Plus, I would also prefer to carry bags that don't show logos and aren't clearly a luxury brand, so I'm not a target. With Polene I can have the style and quality I want at a price point I'm comfortable walking around with.
I know this is the Polene thread, but I wonder how many people see Loewe puzzle as a trendy bag vs a bag they will be happy to use forever. Style is definitely subjective and for me, I think I will like Polene's designs for many years, so I wonder how many people feel that way about their own bags.
How many people have the same purse in two or more colors? Do you find you use them all and get your money's worth or do you mainly prefer just one color and didn't really need to get the other ones?
I do not have multiple colors of the same item (aside from undergarments) but I think this thought can be applied to many accessories. It really depends on the item design, function, and yourself. You won't know the answer until you buy multiples of the item and attempt to rotate them yourself.
That being said I feel like I cannot own multiples colors of a unique bag (and I think every polene is unique), I would just buy a different style in the other colors I was interested in. However things like a belt, or even some luxury shoes basic shoes like strappy heels, awesome pumps, ankle boots, I wouldn't mind have multiple colors of.
That’s actually what brought me to Polene in the first place.. I was looking for a minimal bag with no flashy logos - quite the departure from my previous LV monogram bags. I put it down to being older and wiser hehe
I saw that they are selling fake Polene on Aliexpress :/
The problem with these fakes ist that they use the original Polene images.
Polene has a great price point anyway so I do not really see the point in getting a fake for anyone who cannot afford "luxury".
I personally have not bought any preloved bag yet but I think it makes sense to ask the seller for a copy of the receipt. Since most people bought the bag online this should not be a problem at all.
I have 3 numero un nanos in lilac, chalk and black. I like the un nano a lot. I find I don’t use the black very much, but I do use the lilac and chalk quite a bit, depending on what colors im wearing that day. So yes, I think it was money well spent =P (or that’s what I tell myself in justifying why I have the same bag in multiple colors).
