Oh nooo, I got caught cheating The taupe looks very beautiful too! But you know I love white bags Hopefully they will ship your Tonca soon, please share when it arrives

Hahaa Can't wait to see the white tonca also! With Polene it is so difficult to choose colors as there are so many beautiful colors!

I didn't use to love white bags before, but then I fell in love with Polene's Chalk and it became my most used bag. It is a very unique, muted, greyish vintage white and the perfect color contrast to my entire wardrobe. I personally think it's a much more modern and elegant alternative to the crisp, bright white bag. You will love the Chalk.

hi, the question raised was about the mini neuf. I said the mini neuf didn’t come in fresh almond but the regular neuf did. as for the micro neuf, yes for sure it comes in fresh almond.

Thanks for looking out. I wish the Almond came in ALL the styles. I don't get why they didn't make more of this popular color. Everyone has been begging for them to release more and it seems like they've discontinued it. I'll settle for the Sage which is also lovely. So hopefully, they'll release that in other styles other than the micro.

Am I in the right place? If not, my apologies.
I am torn between 2 similar bags: Polène Béri (in lilac) and Prada re-edition 2006 (in black). Both are the same "dumpling"/crescent/round-with-attach-at-the-top bag shape, similar size, similar look; but very different price points (USD 320 vs 1600). I am a little afraid because this is a trendy bag, so I might not want to spend a lot on a bag I might get tired of. But I have been thinking about the Béri/2006 for a year now. I know I am in the Polène thread, but which bag would you go for and why?

I would have chosen Beri because of its simplicity yet classic look. You won't have a problem wearing it casual or a little formal. With Prada, you basically see people running around using that bag or at least with the same style. I am not a hater since I own a Prada bag too, but if I were you, I would choose Polène. At its price point, it can never be beaten too.

Hi everyone,

I want to buy an UMIin the next days. But I can’t decide which color either the chalk or the clay one. I want it as an every day bag for winter and summer.
Do you have any pictures for me? And which one would you get yourself?

thanks a lot in advance.

I think you answered your own question since you said you are afraid because it's trendy...so in this instance, the price point should be your decision maker and go for the Beri!! Plus, that lilac color is soooo beautiful!!

$1600 plus tax for a nylon bag??? I love Prada but that's insane.
See, this is why Polene has gotten so popular. These designer prices have gotten seriously out of control these days.
Polene offers 100% high quality leather for a reasonable price, so of course, I'm on team Polene.
I say get the Beri and a Dix while you're at it. They are both crescent/half-moon shapes and you'll spend less than half the cost of the Prada bag and will have way more fun.

I vote Chalk all the way! It's a stunning color.

I might go ahead and get the Béri. And the Tonca in chalk, while I'm at it

Because of your reason (its price point & being trendy), I would also vote for Polene. I also think the lilac color on the leather is beautiful (I always wish they’d do it in the mini neuf/huit too). But although I am not even a fan of Prada, in this case what makes the Prada looks slightly better to me than Polene is the fact that I always think the shape of the Beri looks like pantie shorts!!! With the draping under the two sides of the bag at such similar length, I really can’t see otherwise. It’s definitely my first thought when I saw it for the first time, and to this day I still can never unsee it. Personally I’m not a fan of this design, but everyone is different and many seem to enjoy it.

Hi everyone, I'm another Polene lover who thought they should finally come out of hiding and say hello! I've loved reading through the thread

I've added a photo of my little Polene family, I have the Numéro Neuf Mini in black, the Béri in lilac and the Tonca in taupe.

I'd love to add a Numéro Un Nano next but I really wanted the sage colour, I'm very sad to have missed the boat on that one. I emailed Polene a little while back to see if they'd be bringing it back but they said it wouldn't be restocked I've been scouring the preloved sites but no luck so far!

I agree. I'm not a fan of the Beri. The shape and the closure methods make it unpractical and less spacious. I've also seen YouTubers saying it opens by itself all the time and that the strap digs in as well.
I think the Tonca and the Dix are much easier to handle and more spacious for sure.
