Here is my Neuf in Taupe. For reference I'm 5'9 and about 135lbs.

I love seeing this on a fellow tall person - thanks for the mod shot. My Neuf in black is out for delivery TODAY and I'm very excited. (And yes, it got here from Spain faster than my Sweaty Betty leggings from Nordstrom - they're stuck in Kentucky somewhere. Unbelievable!)

So exciting! Please post pics when you get it. Other colors are on my radar...and I'm trying to decide if I want another Neuf in black vs. BV small Jodie in Noir.
 
to soothe my will it/won't it arrive Polene anxiety - I am going to order a mini neuf...I think....fairly sure... in taupe or black or burgundy...possibly camel but I don't think so - I really think I want the Tonca in camel with the contrast color strap. I also wear mostly black with a sprinkling of blue.
I want a lightweight crossbody that has some carrying capacity - planning to down size to a compact wallet (welcome any suggestions on that - I have been partial to LV full size wallets in Daimer Azur and epi leather but open to a change. Due to injury/early arthritis issues in elbow and shoulder- committed to downsizing to a lighter weight bag that functions well as a crossbody- mostly daily casual type use.
Any preferences experiences across the color selection appreciated though I have also reviewed most of this thread - so thanks again for the sharing and pics - super helpful.
 
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…

For the regular neuf, is the bag itself heavy??? Do you happen to know how much it weighs? On Polene website they show the weight of the mini but not the regular.
 
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. ;)

Mine is camel! To me it’s much darker in person than in the photo. And yes Dune is such a great choice!! Excited to see it on you! For me personally, I think the mini neuf will pretty much fulfill your needs - lightweight and spacious enough for its being a mini bag. My only concern is that it may not be the most comfortable bag to get things in and out or navigate stuff in the bag because of the (very) narrow opening. But all in all I think it is worth it and I’m still wanting more! :D

Looks so good on you! How I wish I were this tall and could rock big bag like this!

So cute on you!!!

Thank you so much!! <3

Question for anyone who has the regular neuf, how heavy is the bag itself?? Do you know how much it weighs? Or which designer bags that its weight can be compared to? For some reason Polene shows the weight of the mini neuf on their site, but not the regular.

I don’t know the exact weight of the bag but I personally don’t find it heavy at all and I do pack it quite a bit for everyday use. For comparison, it’s much lighter than my Givenchy Antigona or Chanel Jumbo. I used to own a regular size Numero Un as well and I’d say the Neuf is lighter than that bag too. I can wear it all day without the weight bothering me at all.
