I would snag a Neuf in Fresh Almond in a heartbeat! It's such a beautiful color. I love how unique it is against all the safe neutrals.

Welcome! It's surely a fun, delightful and also addictive journey from this moment forward.
Once I order a new Polene, I'm immediately searching for the next beauty to add to my cart and start obsessing and searching for pics and videos. Someone help us!
Wow! Divine. Congrats. Would love to have this exact bag.
Where did you find it? I had seen one on Ebay but by the time I remembered to go back and bid, it was gone.
Well, I am not going to buy their belts then. See if mentioning the purseforum helps.
Congrats!!! And I am soooo jealous!!! I was not interested in it when it was still available then when it’s sold out I looked everywhere for it. Ugh. So cute!
Listed as 'blue' but it's obvi fresh almond...Numero Un (not a backpack either!) with tags!!

Thank YOU! I feel this 100%. Fortunately, I've been able to resist the more prevalent styles like Un, Huit, and Dix! At least, these are the ones that are always popping up on feeds. I already talked myself out of getting a Beri because of the top clasp. Also, Tonca's definitely not for me but I'm definitely curious what else Polene has in store!
Agree-it might be helpful to frame the purse forum message to Polene along the lines of being surprised or disappointed at their response or lack of action to address the defect as you are an active member of a Polene group on Purseforum and in sharing this experience with the group -others were also surprised and concern at how Polene is addressing as other members have had positive experience with the brand in past.
Sometimes this approach can be useful as it lets them know you are an active vocal member of the Polene community -and you are or will be talking about this experience -without directly threatening to out them on their very poor customer service. However deserved that might be. Just a thought
The Mini Huit is tricky to handle. Small capacity inside with the round folds and hard to get in and out for sure, but the shape is so feminine and rare, that I think it's worth it in a stunning color. I would totally get another Huit Mini if I find one in almond or cognac, which are both sold out, or if I decide on getting the burgundy, which I also love.
The Dix is beautiful but not very practical as far as capacity. I am still open to getting it in another color in the future.
As far as the Un, I have passed on the larger size but LOVE the Un Nano. It is still my favorite Polene bag.
It is so unique and intriguing but still very spacious and comfortable to wear and to open and close. I have 2 of those babies and counting.
I feel that I will probably have most of Polene's styles in the future.
Still doubtful about the Sept and the Beri, though, both due to issues with their metal clasps.
I can't stand a bag that is fuzzy or cumbersome. I just won't ever wear it.
I've had the full size for about a year now and I would say the clasp gets much easier with repeated use! I remember it being tricky at first but that wore off quickly and I can open and close it now with just one hand. The issue of not being able to close it when it's over-stuffed is true though (though then I use a different bag!).
It's not the smoothest zip in the world because of the way the bag is shaped, but it works fine and I'm happy to trade a little zipper stickiness for its beauty! This also has gotten smoother with time, though I haven't had the bag as long as the sept.
My mini huit in Blush is about to arrive in less than 2 hours. so excited!
In the meantime, I guess it may be helpful if I can show what fits in the mini neuf for those interested in mini bags. So here it holds: phone, wallet, mask, hand sanitizer, facial spray, bubble gum, portable fan, a pack of napkins, 1 lip balm and 3 lipsticks, two pens. These are already the maximum capacity this bag can fit, though. I’d suggest carry a bit less so you can easily close the bag.
I would recommend this size if that is all you normally carry, or you carry a little/a lot less.

I completely agree with this too!
Also, I don't know where you're based @MsMoneybagg but many countries have some sort of Consumer Right's Act (which may also apply to items bought overseas) where a faulty item should be replaced, especially if it happens within a short time frame and it's not even wear and tear! And if they disagree with that, then they are admitting that their belts only last for 22 days...
I really feel like all of this you are experiencing is what I was fearing with Polène becoming more popular though. The items are being rushed in production, not quality checked properly and customer service is shoddy. I really really hope they come to their senses and also see this thread so they can see the damage they are doing to their reputation.

Yep, this is my concern, big-time. I’m glad to have what I’ve purchased so far… I’m wondering if I should nab one or two more things and get out while the getting is good, so to speak.
She’s here!!! Including my blush mini Neuf for size comparison. I’d say the color is slightly warmer than it came out in these photos but not by much.
Wow! That was fast. Congratulations!
The Tonca is stunning and looks bigger than expected. The camel does look warmer and you mentioned it’s darker IRL. Definitely more of a tan/brown than a camel.
Curious to know about capacity. How much does it hold.
And the Mini Neuf is perfection.
