Thank you so much for your comment!!! Happy to report you have just inspired me to order both the regular neuf in beige and the mini neuf in dune now, lol. I’m pretty sure I won’t get so much use of the regular because of the supposedly heavy weight (I’m pretty sick of carrying my Celine belt bag in Micro which I guess is about the same size/weight) but I mean there will always be one of those days we need to carry a lot, right? Having the regular size can well serve that purpose.
Oh my gosh, my wallet. :’D
(And for the wheat color, I think I may have wanted it too much that I mentally ignored the obviously yellow toned and decided it’s close to beige enough when it’s apparently not, lol)
Excited for you. It would be interesting to see these new “summer pastels” in real life. I’ve found that Polene has heavily lit product photos (with natural sunlight) and that the colors are mostly darker in person. But I still think both the wheat and the dune are modern neutrals that go beyond the typical.
So true about their photos being heavily lit! I have to admit I was kind of disappointed when I first received my mini neuf in camel. It looks so much darker IRL than their displayed mod shots, though I also ordered the same camel color in the dix and this one looks almost exactly like in the photos.
Totally. It seems like the camel is darker in some styles. The Neuf camel seems to look more like the cognac. I had been eyeing the croc green Un Nano forever and was about to order it. Then saw a youtube video of the bag and the color was way darker than the photo, not the vibrant green that Polene shows. I decided not to order it as I wanted a lighter, more saturated green. So for me, the rule of thumb with Polene colors is they are darker or less bright in person, so I try to keep that in mind.
A very good point! My mom is questioning me on why I bought a taupe AND a chalk bag when the colors are identical to her. I owned both colors from Polene in real life before I ordered more, so I wasn't worried, but I see how Polene colors might be more pale or washed out than in their product photos.
What first drawn me into Polene is their Neuf model, and I think it remains the only design I absoutely am in love with so far (though I’m still not a fan of its narrow opening esp on the mini. Really wish they added buttons around the opening like the Nano Un so we can open it widely when we want to!). I have never seen any bags in the market similar to this style, so it looks unique and refreshing.
And their color palette choices — so chic and elegant. Their reasonable prices make everything even more irresistible. I also love the fact that they’re not seen everywhere, so it feels special carrying it.

It absolutely suits you. Love your style. Very Parisian.
I have no doubt I want a Mini Neuf. Or maybe 3. The size is perfect.
The quality/craftsmanship! The attention to detail/presentation.
You have the Toy Loulou? I have been eyeing that bag!!! Can you compare it to Polene for me? Thanks!
Sooooo true. They shoot outside in what seems to usually be the happiest, brightest of days, and often afternoon which would make color tones warmer.
Except for this set lol. There are probably others but I am always struck by how un-tempted I am by this bag in this colorway and it’s probably the weather this poor thing is suffering through.
Home girl looks cold.
Yeah, this girl is making this Huit look sad. She needs to come back on a sunnier day.Sooooo true. They shoot outside in what seems to usually be the happiest, brightest of days, and often afternoon which would make color tones warmer.

Aww, thank you for your kind words!!!
And I love the maybe 3 part, lol. I mean, it’s not helping that they have released too many tempting colors. Even though the color I have was not an absolute favorite when I first received it (because it’s much darker than in the photos), the style just makes it beauuutiful! I so needed more than one right now. Good luck choosing yours!
