Hello!

I'm new to purseblog but I'm a handbag fanatic. I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong thread but I recently discovered Polene handbags and I'm so intrigued by the Numero Uno bag. I've read a few posts here but I'd like some feedback from whoever owns one. Are they durable for everyday? Is it as beautiful in person as it is in pictures? Also, do they tend to go on sale?? I tried looking online and came across 25% off for Cyber Monday (don't know how valid that was). Any feedback would be helpful! Thanks!

I think they are quite durable, and stunning in person! Very chic. My one criticism is that they are perhaps a little smaller than they appear in the pictures and can't hold a LOT of stuff. But I can carry it as an everyday handbag :)
 
Just received my Bordeaux Crocodile bag from the Jungle collection. Polene customer service stated that the color on this version is a shade darker than on the regular Burgundy Trio version. To me, the shade difference is most obvious on the half-moon latch and the Croc flap. There are black highlights on the croc pattern that makes it look pretty realistic. The pebbled leather looks about the same to me.

The croc version addressed my concerns about keeping the Suede flap of the regular version looking good, so I'm very happy. I will echo @MagpieInTraining observation that the bag looks a little smaller in real life, but it's plenty spacious for my needs. No regrets!

Wow! It’s gorgeous! I wanted the black but this post makes me reconsider the burgundy [emoji7][emoji7]

I actually have the black croc, I bought it less than a month before the blue and the burgundy dropped! The blue looks stunning in pictures. I didn't have a nice big black bag, so I'm happy with the black, but I have to say the blue gave me a pang or two. However, I did want an everyday bag, and the black is the most usable color since it goes with everything. All said and done, I'm not sure which one I would've bought if all had been available when I pulled the trigger. The burgundy is a more unusual colour, you could consider that one just for that reason alone!

I wish I didn’t have these options! I’m so indecisive and they’re all stunning. But I agree with you, black goes with everything and I have been wanting a more practical everyday bag. [emoji85]

You could consider getting the black numero un and a burgundy numero six? Then you'll have both and its cheaper (and more useful) than 2 numero uns. You can start with the numero un which is more practical and add in the numero six if you really want the burgundy accent!

All these beautiful colors makes it so hard to decide! Plus they seem to change like a chameleon depending on the lighting.
Does anyone have the green and the burgundy in anything that can post a pic of them side by side?

I’m also looking at getting a zippered wallet if they come back in stock. Anyone have one of those?
