This Yke bucket bag is really a design success. Unique, flirty and feminine.
This one for me is more a piece to admire and not so much a wearable, practical bag that I would use.
Still, this new bag is really stunning for sure. :loveeyes:


Thank you. This is the best review I’ve seen of this bag. It covers every single detail. Will be ordering soon.

Numero Un Mini strap hack.

 
I love that I can depend on this thread to tell me immediately when Polene has something new!

Again I feel like they did a great job taking a popular style and putting their spin on it. Like the Tonca, this one is not my preference but it is interesting for sure.
Agreed. Love the design but it's not for me. I was hopping they'd launch a bigger wicker bag. This one seems to be too small.
 
Not excited for the new basket design either! Just too seasonal for me and not what I'm looking for/need in my collection. However, with how often it seems they're releasing new styles, I do look forward to another classic like their Un and Neuf. We just got Tonca! (Also not for me hehe!) So, I'm excited to see what they come up with next.
 
If I had unlimited budget I would buy the black Yke and a mini Neuf, but I don't have unlimited budget. I have a need for practical bags and a bunch of Neuf and Huit already, that is enough for me. I don't want to buy small bags because I don't like using them as much, and I know I have enough bags already.

It would be fun to see them make a special edition version of Yke where the leather and wicker basket parts swap places.

I wonder if the Yke is a bag that can be worn for evenings, even though it is a wicker basket. Who made the rules for evening bags anyway? I feel zero interest in clutches and small bags, which is why I carry my Neuf and Huit to evenings out too.

Absolutely agreed. Cheers to conscious bag purchasing!

Speaking of conscious bag purchasing, does anyone here have the Un Micro bag? How do you like it? Can you justify spending $170? I know it probably won't even hold a key but dang it looks so friggin' cute I can't talk myself out of it. :confused1: Or maybe I can just look at it as a wallet or a piece of art -- whatever lol.

I got the micro only to go for walks so I can put my keys in it. I used to put my keys in my bra which would bother me but all other bags were too big to take for a walk. It fits keys, credit cards and an airport case without looking stuffed. It certainly is not an everyday bag. I get quite a bit of use out of mine and am happy with my purchase.

Couldn't agree more. I am really trying to be more conscious when it comes to bag purchasing. I've got 4 Polene bags now and am enjoying all of them. I go through phases and am using some more than others. I just changed from the nano to the huit and am loving the switch-up.
My last 3 bag purchases were Polene but there is another more pricier bag on my dream list for such a long time. I wasn't really able to justify the price before because I could get 3 Polene bags for the price of the other one but I know that I will get more use out of it.
I think the price per wear is super important when buying a bag. Another thing with the trendy bags is that there is a new style just around the corner. However, Polene seems to be a bit late when it comes to trends though which I don't mind but maybe they should trust their designers to try something extraordinary and not run after most bag trends.

I feel you. I was in Germany recently and I couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on a luxury brand bag when I know I can get something equally good (maybe even better!) for less and would get more wear out of it. Polene has definitely changed my preferences and my bank account is grateful for it (sorta)!

That said, am still mulling over the Cyme (regular). Pity there isn't as much reviews as the Un, Sept, Huit or Neuf.
