Wow! So the Neufs have to now watch out for the MINDY! :tdown: :shocked:
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! :biggrin::graucho::yahoo:
These are probably made in China but sold by a Singapore company. I saw a bag which SHEIN sells for half the price.
 
Ugh, I am obsessed with the taupe color, and you make me want to get a Neuf Mini again!! Nooooooo!!
I think the Mini Neuf is a must-have. That size is the perfect crossbody bag and I for one, have not been able to go back after becoming a crossbody user for over a decade. I still carry my totes to work but a smaller crossbody is always with me. I forgot how to run errands or even do groceries with a bag poking out of the side of my arm and forget about a bag in the crook of my arm cause then I become useless. :panic:

Thinking of getting another mini Neuf too. Love my camel one to bits. May get a burgundy one. Or maybe I should look at the Dix?

I say try the Dix first. I had one and sold it because it turned out the Camel on that one was the exact tone of 2 of my other bags and the styles were too similar for me to keep it.
But the Dix is awesome. To me, this bag is like Chloe Marcie Meets Balenciaga City because it has that saddle, equestrian feel but the strap ends on the sides fall like tassels, giving that rocker vibe. The shape is unique and the quality is beautiful. I myself have a cognac one on my list.

Love the Neuf but don't own it yet. I'm still deciding whether to get the Mini Neuf in Camel or in Blush. Ugh. Can't seem to make up my mind. I will probably order it in Camel first as its such a classic neutral and I am always drawn to those tan/caramel/cognac tones in every bag.
Once I get the Mini Neuf and if I love it like I think I will, I will probably order a second one in chalk (even though I already have an Un Nano in Chalk).
This Polene obsession is endless.

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.
I agree! I've been using my Neuf a lot lately...especially ever since getting the wider shoulder strap but there's just something so special about that bag. It's unique...I've never seen another bag like it. It's why I'm selling off a few of my other bags so I can make room for more Polene!!

Ugh don't do this to me! I carry my regular neufs crossbody too because I don't mind the size.
 
Do these look legit?

I'm still thinking about what color to get for a mini Neuf. I feel like I should get the small one too just for the experience. Taupe or white go better with all four seasons, but black bags just work well with my wardrobe and with evening use. Or should I wait for a new color? Help me choose?
Do you like any of the new spring colors? The blue is nice!! If you want a more neutral maybe the taupe? I just worry about the lighter colors getting color transfer since I wear jeans a lot.

They look legit to me. The Taupe one is sold though.

I think you need a Neuf Mini and you know it. :biggrin: It's such a gorgeous little bag and I have a feeling they will discontinue most of these styles in the future so getting them now is smart.
They used to have a bowling bag style that I would love to have but they stopped making it and the same will surely happen with most of these current bags.
For your Neuf Mini, I would go for a color that goes with everything like taupe, camel or chalk.
Chalk is my absolute favorite Polene color so far.
I will probably end up having 2 of these beauties because it's too hard not to! :graucho::drool::yahoo:

I got some blue color transfer from jeans onto my white Neuf once and it just wiped off with a wet tissue. So that's something I don't worry about. I just wonder if I need it given I have the full size ones and daily use is far more important to me than special occasion use. I already have a mini huit which would serve my mini bag need if I ever have it.

Taupe is really a great color! Just got the Cyme in taupe and took it out the first time today!
Such a handy bag!

Yes, I'm torn between taupe, chalk and black. The last time I was torn I just bought all three...you're all a bunch of enablers haha!

Now I need to know what bags you're selling, and what Polene bags you're getting after!

If you go back in time on this thread, you can see my existential crises over the blue and yellow Neuf colors haha! I'm gonna stick to safe colors but at the same time I don't know if I need a mini Neuf or if I will get enough use out of it.

I think the only surest way to know if you will like the mini neuf is to give it a try. If you’ve been thinking about it for this long, I’d suggest you go for it. Worst is you return what you don’t like and pay $40 in total for shipping back and forth, but of course only if the $40 won’t bug you. (For me $40 is worth the peace of mind—I wasn’t sure if neuf is a good size and I already had and loved my mini neuf. I’m glad I finally gave it a try, although it turned out that the big size wasn’t quite for me. The shipping fee is how I learn my lesson and explore different sizes/styles of bag that could fit my needs, and to me I think it’s worth it.)
