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!

One thing I did to decide between the two colours was search YouTube for Polene store. Once you see them on the shelf in those reviews, the cognac definitely looks darker irl.
Love your neuf!!

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.

The colour is beautiful. Now, if only they would have the regular neuf in glacier as well…

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.

I totally see that. Their warmer colors are harder to match IRL. I find that the camel is much darker than in photos.
My favorite is their chalk. Such a perfect grayish white.
I have yet to order the taupe but I know I will love it.
The beige looks beautiful but it’s only available in a few styles. I am waiting until next week to see if someone posts photos of the Dune and the Tonca in camel and cognac just to see if they’re darker than shown on the site.

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!

I thought the same thing. This looks so close to chalk and so much lighter than the blue in the photos. That defies my theory of all Polene colors photographing brighter and lighter online. Oh, well. We’re gonna have to discover them one by one. :)

Hi everyone, inspired by all your sharing of pictures of your bags (thank you!!!), here is my Polene collection. In case thIs helps some of you with your bag-buying devision. i like colors, as you can see.

back row from left to right: regular Huit in cognac; huit mini in fresh almond; regular un in green croc.
front row from left to right: nano in lilac, black, and chalk.

all colors showed up properly, except for the nano in lilac which appears more pink than it does IRL - the lilac is somewhat more purplish.
I use the cognac and black the least. I like the mini Huit in fresh almond the most Since it feels special, and it’s just the right size for me.
