Polène handbags

[allyj128]

Heard from customer service this afternoon - they're sending me a waybill to ship the Chalk back to them and THEN they'll send me the black as I ordered.

So this will take a few weeks, I think. I requested that my shipping charges get refunded or that they ship the Black as soon as the Chalk is received and acknowledged by DHL.

I'm sure once they know DHL has it in their possession, they will release the black one to you!! So it may be quicker than you think!! Let's remain hopeful!!

So pretty but it looks so small. Hopefully it is roomy inside.

Hi all… how does Polene handle quality issues? I received my Umi belt on April 25th and the hardware on it has snapped… this is only my third time wearing it.

I have never needed to address quality issues with Polene, but other girls on this thread have reported good service and speedy replacements from Polene om such clear cut issues. Send them photo.

I’m wondering if Tonca carrying capacity is similar to Dior saddle -somewhat similar shape and dimension. Tonca is 17x24x7 cm and Dior is 25.5x20x6.5 cm. Which also make it seem like the Dior is slightly roomier

I ordered a camel one this morning -and DHL says the black one should be arriving Friday

Thank you for ordering this! I will now wait for yours to arrive before ordering mine because I'm curious to see the camel in that style and also, as you mention, the capacity. So you're doing us all a service with your purchase, lol.

I'm wondering the same thing about capacity. But it is stunning. And the cognac is the color that's standing out for me in this style. I feel like cognac is a very classic color (can sometimes look dated) but because this style is so odd and modern, it balances out the bag completely.

Having owned the mini Huit, I would recommend going for the full sized huit unless you only intend to carry a card holder, phone and maybe a packet of tissues and really small pouch in the mini Huit… the full sized huit in blush is on my wishlist too

Thank you so much!!! That’s very insightful!! I was thinking the bigger one too for everyday need, but was worried it’d look too big on my frame. I’ve actually just ordered the mini in blush to try. If I like the design, I think I’ll also order the full sized huit maybe in black so it wouldn’t look too big. Thank you so much again for your input
. I’m super excited to see the blush color in person!

Posting a quick picture of my Neuf Cognac

Yayyy!!! Congratulations!!! Your neuf is gorgeous! One thing I notice though, I think this cognag color looks super similar to my mini nuef in Camel!!! Maybe it’s my eyes but I almost can’t tell the difference between these two colors. This actually makes me wonder now if Polene sent me the wrong color, lol. I always thought the camel I have looks much darker than the yellow toned camel photos on their website and look more red-toned like cognag. But it sure looks pretty regardless. I’m sure you’ll enjoy yours!

I was watching douyin videos and this french woman carries a Polene Umi and a little woven basket with a lid. Now I want a basket with a lid, so I found this:

Polène L’Osier Wicker Bag

The Polène Wicker Bag is one of my favorite bucket bags for spring and summer designed in France!

frenchgirldaily.com

Is there anything similar? Do you think Polene will bring this back or is it for sale anywhere?

I think I saw something pretty similar from PARISA WANG. I love many of their designs but never yet took the plunge.

I think the blush color is beautiful!! I would go for that one since you will already have beige. You have a nice neutral palate of handbags there, very nice collection!!

Thank you so much for your input!!! So besides the nuef in beige, I’ve just placed an order for the mini huit in blush! Can’t wait for it to arrive!!

Yay! So happy for you. At the risk of these bags selling out quickly, I think I am going to wait to see some real life photos of this bag and the colors. The Polene camel and cognac seem to be darker lately, as I've seen some Neufs look darker than other styles. And again, since returning is a hassle, I'd rather wait and order a color I'll like.
Please share photos as you as you get it. Enjoy!!

I really didn't like the camel and cognac on me, surprisingly. I think I just prefer Polene's cool tones. I was going to get black, white and camel but I prefer taupe way way more on me than camel. The Camel color just made me look so yellow and washed out.

After seeing purplehighlighter’s Neuf in Cognag, I was surprised to see how much it looks super similar to mine in Camel! I actually had someone tell me mine looks like it’s Cognag.

I tried taking pics of it in as different lights as possible. The real thing is closest to the first picture in indoor light. More red-toned than yellow-toned to me — much darker than in most of the photos. You all (who may or may not have the neuf in camel), is this color camel to you? Is it possible that Polene may have sent the wrong color? I also have a dix, and was surprised since the first they I got it that they look a little bit different even with the same color.

***Edited*** okay so I’ve just checked and realized that it’s not possible they sent me the wrong color since there’s no mini neuf available in cognag, haha. Still, I really can’t tell these two colors apart. Just so similar!

Hey everyone! I’m a longtime lurker so this is my first ever post and first ever Polene so I’m super happy. I got the mini neuf in glacier and I love it! My lighting isn’t the best in my house so I took a picture outside in the sun.

Gasp! I'm so glad someone got this! I was so tempted by this color but I'm really glad I didn't get it, because it looks very close to the chalk white which I have. But enjoy, I love the Huit!

The Neuf and Huit in "Camel" just arrived for me and I am disappointed. I feel like the color just clashes with my wardrobe and skin tone, and I don't feel special at all wearing it. In comparison, the black ones make me feel so cool and elevated. But that's only one concern.

My second concern is the Neuf I got. I don't feel like this is camel? It doesn't seem to match the color on the website, and in fact, I feel like it's closer to cognac? It could just be me, what do you guys think?

I found my old reply in this thread when I got the camel and what is most like cognac. Cognac looked very rusty to me. I think yours is camel.

I'm out of town for a while but I want to hurry up and see my Polene bags in person. I can't wait to put all the colors together and take pictures.
