Hi everyone. Just wanna Ask if any of you guys own the Cyme mini. I’m thinking of purchasing it. Also if you have any recommendations for an organizer insert for it. Pros and cons? Thank you.

I got a bunch of Polene designs at the beginning of my "handbag journey" so prior to this I didn't carry handbags at all. I learned a lot about what I like to use, how much stuff I carry, etc, etc. The Umi doesn't carry a lot of stuff and the zipper was stiff. The zipper also scratched my hand when I tried to put stuff in. I didn't even take it out for a spin before I decided to return it. I canceled my Dix preorder for the same reasons.

For other bags, I returned the beri because it was too small and the top handle clasp kept opening on me, and I returned the Sept because I don't like fussy clasps. It also holds less than I expected because you can't stack things up to the top. If you do the flap won't close prettily. My favorites are the Neuf and the Huit because I can just throw things in, it looks nice, and it's easy to take things out or close them.

Thank you kindly for response!
Oh everywhere I have seen/read people say Umi is quite spacious - I don't enjoy mini bags but also don't need a tote lets say. A good middle and am hoping Umi will be that , everyone definitely differs! Hmm with the zip might be an issue , although I own more zipped than not bags and have never felt them be uncomfortable , I'll try take more notice if they scratch me or not :P I just love the Polene aesthetic , especially the Umi. Hopefully It satisfies the 'nice looking bag that can fit more than a wallet , phone and keys' category I have in mind (when/if I decide to pull the trigger on the purchase :) )

Yes I was thinking just along those lines. I had no summer tote or something I could bring to the beach.
What colour are you thinking of?

I’m thinking of getting the Toupe color. Polene really has beautiful designs and their quality is great.I was already set on getting the Chloe woody tote for summer but the price of it is not something % I’m willing to pay for a material that wont last a long time. The Tissè also is on my list too but I’m concerned with the cotton material getting dirty over time but for sure there are products that you can use to protect it and plus it looks so pretty with the combination of the white cotton and leather.

That would really be lovely. With Polène now on my radar, I also find it hard to shell money out for other brands.

I’ll try waterproof it with Collonil and see how it goes. I’m also planning on using it with my Neverfull Purse Organiser so I can protect the interior.

So ladies, I faltered and bought the new Cyme Tissè after convincing myself that it’s just like buying a Chanel Deauville in Canvas . I’ll share the bag candy as here I am once again matching Polène to my Zara Sandals
