I just got my apartment deposit back recently, and my first instinct was "yay, more Polene handbags!" But actually that money is going to pay for the ones I already bought before, and maybe food and gas in the future...
I wonder how big the Polene Neuf mini is compared to the full size. I'm not sure if anyone ever complained about the opening on the Polene Neuf because it's big enough for me to get both my hands in when I'm looking for stuff. This has actually come in handy a lot because it's a black hole bag for sure.
So it's been a month so far with "purse peace" and I have to say, I couldn't be happier. I'm perfectly content with my small collection and every day I still enjoy looking at and enjoying my Polene bags. I recently went to a fancy dinner and while I enjoyed seeing all the eye candy like Chanel, YSL, Louis Vuitton, my little Neuf stood out from the crowd. Polene designs are just so unique.
Bad selfies but wanted to share anyway.
Here's some mod shots with the Yké, and also an example of what it can fit! I'm really impressed as it fits all my essentials with ease 
Here it is with my large Samsung galaxy S20 FE, bulky 6 key holder, Bottega card holder, sunglasses case and a lip balm!

That's a smart plan!
I feel that with Polene its easy go overboard because prices are so "affordable" compared to YSL, Chanel, etc., that we order many bags in a short period of time but then possibly not enjoy each one to the fullest like we might do with the others.
At least for me, when I purchase a more expensive designer bag, I buy one at a time and have to wait a whiiiile till the next one after dropping over $2k a pop.
I have at least 3 solid choices on my Polene wishlist but will try to go one at a time. Also, at over $400 each, they also start adding up if we order too many.

Can you post these in the Yke thread?
New Polene Tonca
Thread to discuss and share information on the new Polene Tonca.

We have a thread for the tonca but I am looking for more content to share. Hopefully other TPFers will share their bags.
Hi ladies! Longtime lurker and big Polene lover, have decided to finally come out of hiding and join the chat. 
I recently purchased my first ever polene, No.1 mini in Grey and I love it! Used it every day since.
Just in case this is helpful for anyone though, I also purchased the No.1 nano in taupe in the same order, as I love the style, and turns out that irl they are pretty much identical in colour. I was surprised, as the taupe looks more browny in tone on the site and mini grey a more steel grey, but trust me - in person the colours on these two was practically identical. I decided to return the nano as I didn’t want two bags in the same colour.
Unfortunately I didn’t take any pics side by side before I did, but hope this is a helpful insight for anyone ordering without seeing in person first.
I love the design of the nano though - and the Moka is now on my list, along with the adorable new Sept belt bag (I’m thinking in burgundy because the contrast stitching is gorgeous!)
Thanks for all your pics and insights in this forum though, been really helpful in trying to decide which of their many gorgeous bag to take the plunge on first!

I just have the Neuf and the Huit and I use both constantly and interchangeably. The Huit's top handle is more comfortable on the crook of my arm, but the Neuf doesn't have the same folds as the Huit, so it holds more. I might be slightly more partial to the Neuf, but I use both a lot.
Thanks! I like the look of both of them but the Neuf sounds a bit more flexible.
