Hi everyone - thank you all for sharing your Polene experience on this forum - I found this thread doing a search for info on the Polene Tonca - an hour or so ago - as it was listed as not available - and was debating about what other style to get - and when I went back to the Polene page - both the black textured and the chalk Tonca were available to add to my cart. There may have been other colors also available; however, I just added the black one to my cart and checked out! And thought I should flag this to all of the helpful folks here in case anyone else wanted to order as well!

Hi, Polene fans! I didn’t realize this thread exists, I don’t own any Polene bag, but this January when in Paris I went to see their store and check out the bags IRL. My hubby liked numero uno and even wanted to gift me one, I think he has shocked that their cute bags cost way less than any of the luxury bags I own, but that day I just wanted to look around and if I really liked anything I would come back to get it. Somehow I ended up buying a Lanvin bag, but that’s a different story. Anyway, I found their bags good quality, there were just some details that didn’t work out for me functionally, but I still like the look of Umi and Numero Uno. I also wanted to see Le Cabas but it wasn’t on display. SAs were very nice, unlike in some luxury stores, this really felt like “luxurious” shopping experience. I also spotted several Polenes while walking around the city, not sure if it was locals or tourists who were wearing it, but it’s nice to see how other people style their bags :smile:

Wow. You were lucky. I just logged in hoping they’d have the Tonca available and it is now gone from the site. :(

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.
Exactly. I find they are less bright. And you’re right about the Taupe and the Chalk being very similar as to what color palettes they represent. Both are cold neutrals and they pretty much go with everything. My Chalk Un Nano is my most used weekend bag.
 
I have to say I was worried about the regular neuf being bulky but after reading the reviews, I got the regular one in black and I’m loving it!!! I will probably use it more often than my huit mini and beri, just because I’m somebody who tends to carry a whole lot of stuff around hahaha.
I’m trying to conserve my finances to wait for more regular neuf colours but the mini neuf is truly tempting…
 
Aww, thank you for your kind words!!! :smile: 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!
Which color did you pick? Yeah, the colors are definitely darker in person. I'm getting the Dune first but if I love it, I have no problem getting more of the same. I've done that with several designer bags before (at one point, I even had 3 Gucci Discos, lol) if they are worth it. I am very particular about my bags and really dislike uncomfortable bags, so when I find a bag that is comfortable, lightweight and spacious enough, it becomes an instant winner for me. ;)
 
I stumbled on this thread for some reason and decided to read it from beginning to end. Was really inspired by the unique yet understated design, and the photos of all the members here modeling them. Tried my hand at a Neuf in Taupe, and I absolutely love it! Perfect for when I don't want to carry something obviously premium designer yet still quality and stylish. Besides that, many of the bags remind me of dumplings, they way they are folded softly yet precisely. Could also be that I was hungry?
