Polène handbags

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!

Stunning collection. Congrats!
I've been looking for anything Polene in sage or almond to no avail.
I also missed the chance to get bags in these colors when they were available. At the time, I didn't gravitate towards those colors and now, I'm obsessed.

The No. 1 nano in Moka is out of stock again Was waiting until payday to order and now I regret not taking the plunge sooner!! Does anyone know if this is a colour they tend to restock regularly or if it’s a “when it’s gone it’s gone”?

I know! I’m so sad that these colors won’t come back.
I asked them again about Almond and Sage but never heard back.

I’m sure Polene has got a lot of requests on the Fresh Almond and Sage to be restocked—from myself included. Seeing all these demands, I thought they could profit a lot more from these colors. But the response from them is that they will not.

Although I’m really sad to have missed these colors when they were available, I totally understand how its being seasonal is what makes it special that the brand thinks they can profit from it even more in the long run. It creates that « once it’s gone it’s gone « feelings that make people follow the brand even more closely and even do an impulse buy every time they see the colors they may not even like totally but simply nervous they will be gone again. Trying to see thing from the brand’s perspectives, it totally makes more sense for them to not restock it.

Sad though!

Like you, I was wanting the moka but it was out of stock. Honestly I just kept stalking the product page and eventually it came back into stock a couple weeks ago and I was able to snag it. I think as long as the color doesn't get completely removed from the site, it's still worth checking back periodically to see if you can get it. I was also eyeing the navy un nano but that was out of stock and then eventually got completely taken off the site so I knew it was not going to come back. I think this approach will generally work with any OOS bags on the site, seems they sometimes do small restocks that sell out again. Hopefully there's another restock soon, the moka is an awesome color -- best of luck!!

I hear you. This makes total sense from their perspective. It’s a game and the customers are willing to play it.
I know I am a total sucker for the “scarcity strategy.” I mean, I’ve already bought 2 bags on sale from other brands this week because they both had the “last one” message next to them.

So, I’ll jump to get the next “seasonal” color I see that I like.
The only color restock I’m curious about is the cognac for the Huit Mini since cognac is supposed to be part of their classic colors.

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 pick Polene for two reasons:
1. Polene is cheaper.
2. The Prada one is nylon. The Polene one is leather and very durable. High quality leather for a reasonable price.
3. You can try on the cheaper bag first and see if you like that shape/size. Does it work for your wardrobe and daily essentials? If it meets your needs and you still find yourself wanting the Prada, then you can get that one too. However, I've heard multiple people say that after getting Polene bags, they use Polene way more than their other bags. I've personally found purse peace after getting Polene bags.

[purplehilighter]

This looks very odd and horribly made. Wth?
The Mini Neuf didn’t even come in Almond, did it?

Wow! So the Neufs have to now watch out for the MINDY!
I hate to admit I hate this type of blatant copyright infringement. I will never think making and selling fakes is ok.
I feel like emailing Polene and sending them this link. I'm sure they've gathered a taskforce in charge of craking down the counterfeiters.
I'll also tell them either they bring back the sold out colors we want or we'll have them made by the Singaporeans, LOL!

Thank you Same here - totally kicking myself now!

Ugh, I am obsessed with the taupe color, and you make me want to get a Neuf Mini again!! Nooooooo!!

Taupe is gorgeous isn't it? I've always been a black bag girl when it comes to neutrals but this taupe colour has really opened my eyes!
I love the Neuf Mini, I don't carry much on a daily basis so the smaller size suits me perfectly.

Same, I am patiently waiting for mini huit cognac. I wish I had bought it when I had the chance. Huhu.
