I bet you're right, it makes a LOT of sense, the weight of the contents affects the longevity of the bag big time. I love the feet on it. I've browsed so many bags at this price point attempting to decide, and Polene just seems to make the most sense. Although, eek - the shipment date for my long-eyed trio camel is now late October. I snooze, I lose!!

Since I purchased my Polene Numero Un on Ebay a few months back, I check periodically. There is currently a trio camel, supposedly new in the box, with 2 bids, if you want to check it out. Of course, it's not that much cheaper than buying from Paris. Just thought I would mention. The one I purchased was a great price, barely used(looks brand new) had the box, even, so I was very fortunate. I also found the small makeup zipper bag on Ebay and love it! Just wonderful quality and fits in smaller handbags.

I was the original bidder on that but now I’m not sure I want to deal with importing it back to the EU when I could just wait for it to come back in stock and buy it from Polene directly and it would arrive faster and with less customs hassle, and about the same price.

That makes sense! Plus the thrill of actually receiving a new bag directly from Polene!

Question for you: How is the suede flap holding up on your Khaki Un? Do you do any maintenance to keep it looking good? I saw a picture of a light colored Un and the suede was all blotchy. Not sure if the nap was was running in all directions or if it was caught in the rain.

Mine is the dark green one but the suede flap still like new.
The only thing I've done is to give it a good brushing with a suede brush when I received it. I'm thinking of lightly spraying it with some waterproofing before winter though - just in case I get caught in a storm.

I think they are struggling a bit with the amount of orders, it took me quite a few weeks to receive mine as well. Like some of the others here there was also a delay with my order, but when I emailed Polène they responded very quickly and were very apologetic, and the carrier contacted me shortly after with the tracking info. The package then arrived within a week.

Mine’s also the camel trio, it is very lovely and the colours are perfect (their website photos are actually a little lighter than the real thing). The leather smells great, and the internal fabric lining feels neat and durable. As a whole I’m quite impressed with the quality.

The dust bag and packaging are very nice too. The only thing I don’t quite get is that the outside of the dust bag is much softer than the inside? Why???

To anyone who’s been to their Paris store, do they have most styles in stock to buy in store? I’m hoping to pick up one of these when I’m in Paris next month, but I’m undecided on color and want to check them out in person first. It sounds like they’re having issues fulfilling online orders.
