Yes, I ordered black. The picture isn’t the best, I took it to send to customer service.

It's gorgeous! Chalk is actually my favorite Polene color yet. It goes with everything in my closet and love the grayish undertone, unlike bright white which I don't like. But I totally get that you ordered black! That's not ok for them to send you the wrong color.
Hopefully, they'll fix their mistake without charging you any shipping fees. It's their fault. :(

You have the Toy Loulou? I have been eyeing that bag!!! Can you compare it to Polene for me? Thanks!

Hey there. Of course. The YSL Toy Loulou is one of my favorite bags of all time and it is definitely, my most used bag in my "premier designer" collection. It is so cute and lightweight. Fits all my essentials and the quilted puffiness is just delicious. I very much recommend it if you are looking for a bag in that price bracket.

The Toy Loulou is comparable to the Polene Numero Un Nano (regardless of the steep price difference) because they are both mini crossbodies with a flap. The YSL is obviously a more glamorous bag and makes more of a fashion statement. It is still understated and unassuming, if you compare it to other popular designer brands out there.

The Polene Un Nano is more of a casual bag for me. It is beautiful and unique, don't get me wrong. It's just a more carefree, durable bag because it is structured and has that thick textured leather. And it fits a lot more than the Toy so that's another plus.
When I wear my Polene bags, I am not at all worried or too careful with them and that feeling is very freeing. With other designer bags, I have to be more careful because as it stands today, these are starting at $2,000 and I got my Polene Un Nano for $290, so with that price difference, Polene, with its amazing designs, quality and attention to detail, just feels like a steal.

Hello! I need some help deciding on my next Polene bag. I'm thinking about the Umi or the Neuf in cognac, which are completely different looks, so I need some advice from this thread! I recently sold my black Dix bag because I realized I own way too many black bags and also too small to hold all my essentials. I also got a bit bored of the shape after 2 months. Here's a few details about me: I typically wear neutrals, have a more casual/minimal style, like my bags crossbody and prefer a carefree medium size bag to carry my essentials.

My thoughts for each:
Umi - I like the size and the option to go as a shoulder bag, the curvature gives me Celine Romy vibes, which I'm into. However, I do think it is a bit too boring and I have heard that the zip is hard to get into.
Neuf - A gorgeous and interesting shape, and I don't have many bags I can carry in the crook of my arm. However, it looks like its hard to get into, and I don't like how much it juts out when it's worn crossbody. I do have other dressier bags (YSL lou lou in Taupe, Chanel, etc.) that I could go to if I need to get more dressed up. I'm also worried about my things falling out of the closure.

I have had no problems getting in and out of the Neuf. I love the top handle. You can also stuff the Neuf way more than the Umi, I think. I can stuff wallet, phone, pouch and two water bottles into a Neuf. I think unless you have a lot of small loose items in the Neuf, it's not going to fall out. Plus there's a magnetic closure. But I'm biased; I returned my Umi (and I have three Neuf...).

I love how active this thread is lately! I've developed the habit of checking the Polene site daily since someone first posted about the Mini Neuf in pale yellow and blue. The new bags are disappeared, but I'm sure they'll be back. Does anyone els

I understand that it can be expensive to offer too many products but I hope Polene one day makes available all their designs they ever made and all the colors they ever offered, made to order. If there's a number one and a number six, what was two, three, four, five?

exactly! I thought I saw a pic posted on this thread of an interesting structured square/rectangular flap that was discontinued...cannot find it - and trios seems to have been a sturdy bowler type bag

I know a girl can dream but I‘m really hoping Polène brings back the Numero Trois because I’m in need of a great sturdy bowler type bag that I can use as a weekender or carry-on. It was so perfect and measured 38cm in width as well as a mini size ☹ I wonder why they pulled it out of production. View attachment 5385985

Was it the Numero Deux that you are thinking of?

It’s a gorgeous looking bag. Was discontinued already by the time I discovered Polene, also. They pop up on Poshmark and Mercari from time to time… looks like there’s a few for sale right now actually.

Thank you so much for your opinion! I wish I could get both. I’m having sellers regret too selling the dix. I like that it’s more edgy. I also love the Beri! It’s honestly way too hard to narrow it down to one Polene bag.
