The No. 1 nano in Moka is out of stock againWas 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”?
Wanted to share that I’ve just read on their instagram that the Nano Un in Moka will unfortunately not be restocked—sorry!
Now I get nervous about this uncertainty in restocking. Even the mini huit in their classic neutral colors like Cognac that are always repeated will not be restocked for the style. Now it’s harder to be sure of what to get before it’s too late.

I’ve been a member of this forum for many, many years and I think this space was created to allow all of us bag lovers to simply share our thoughts, doubts, likes, purchases, wishes and issues about bags.
I personally enjoy your comments and understand that we’re all just typing our thoughts out loud and sharing them with each other.
This is the Purse Forum. I don’t think it’s supposed to be too serious.
Participating should feel easy and we shouldn’t have to worry too much about how we’re coming across or what whims slip out. We may contradict ourselves or repeat things. It’s ok. I don’t think anyone wants you or anyone else to feel restrained as to what may be said. We have enough of that fear with social media.
With everything stressful that is going on around us, I for one appreciate having this space as a distracting outlet where we can safely and freely get silly about handbags because they bring us happiness within a world filled with sorrow.
Simple as that.
Oh dear, SO many typos. Hopefully you got what I was trying to say!
sorry for all of my typos -- typing on the go. Yes, I see what you mean. I own the DeMelllier Mini Venice because it has that Marcie Vibe at a fraction of the price.Aw, we are bag twins because I have been a fan and collector of Balenciaga for many years.
The city was always my favorite and then the Small and the Mini became more relevant to me, as I transitioned to smaller crossbody bags. The Chloe Marcie is one of my favorite bags of all times. I used to own the medium and small satchel, but like with the rest, I now only own the small saddle crossbody Marcie and that one is very lightweight and convenient.
They're all gorgeous, timeless bags and Polene has really accomplished something here with these designs. I can actually see a lot of Chloe shapes in their designs and more edgy influences are also subtly present in bags like the Dix.
I can't wait to get my Dix in cognac. I just have to get my Mini Neuf first, if and when I finally decide on a color, lol.
the mini Neuf is really cute! good luck deciding on a color.
Posting a pic of the Numero Dix in smooth Cognac. Love this bag. Color is pretty true to life, maybe just a tad darker (its in full sun in this pic):
No worries. I got everything you were saying. I actually think Polene’s Un Nano can also be a nice dupe for the Marcie saddle because of the flap and the Dix in cognac gives me so many Chloe vibes.
I mentioned this before and posted photos that I thought the Tonca was very similar to the Chloe Kiss bag as well.
We have lots to choose from.
I think I will be ordering the Mini Neuf in camel and a Mini Huit in blush next or maybe I’ll just grab the apart from Dix in cognac before it sells out.
I got to visit the store not long ago, and I practically squealed when I saw the Tonca. It's adorable! I see what you mean about the Chloe Kiss bag. The Dix has a little bit of that design, too.No worries. I got everything you were saying.

Whelp, maybe it'll be like the beige/gray/taupe colors where future colors are close enough to old ones, even if it's not called the same thing.
Omg this bag is perfection. I must have this!
I’m gonna need a bigger closet.
I want to buy a house JUST so I can make a beautiful custom display closet for my bags. Polene deserves it!
Ok, this is gorgeous, especially under the sunlight!
Thank you! It's fun being silly.
Thank you! I admit to placing it on my couch so that I can stare at it
I always have my handbag next to me on my desk while I work. It's eye candy and motivation!
One thing I keep thinking about is whether I would consider the full size Neuf heavy. I've heard reviewers warn that the bag can get heavy if you load it up with stuff, but I don't notice it that often for someone who always carries a full bag. When it's hot and I'm not wearing long sleeves, I think I notice it more because the top handle can dig into my arm, but when I'm wearing long sleeves and layers, I really don't notice it at all. Also, a shout out again to the durability and structure of this bag. I carry my Polene bags everywhere and I don't mind if they get dirty or banged around, because they are so well made and easy to clean. I will just use some sanitizer or some wipes.
Is there a particular way I should be cleaning leather handbags, actually? I'm still new to handbags.

I just got my Tonca today. It’s a gorgeous bag, but smaller than I thought it would be.
I can fit my Hermes Compact Silk’n wallet, my phone, my keys, a lipstick, and my sunglasses.

Everyone seems to have their favorites. I tend to use either Bick4 or Leather Honey. Leather Honey works great on very dry, thick, or supple leather. I use it on my Balenciaga bags, my leather jacket, and thick pebbled leather bags. LH will sometimes darken lighter leathers, so that's a warning. I have only had this happen on a vegetable tanned leather bag. Otherwise, it is a fabulous conditioner. I actually just use my hands and take a small amount to rub it in. I could see this working well on the Neuf bag, but spot test first.
I use Bickmore Bick 4 on my smooth and/or structured bags or bags that are a bit more delicate. B4 both cleans and conditions and it doesn't seem to darken any leathers. If I'm cleaning, I take a damp microfiber cloth and rub it in. After it drys, I buff it and apply another round if the bag seems to still be dry or dirty.
I have used both of the products for about 5 years now. I generally clean and condition my bags twice a year (depending on usage).
I wish the Polene Neuf were made with feet. I love that the Huit has feet, it helps with the wear for sure. I do notice my Neuf has slight wear on the bottom now, but it's very negligible and it doesn't bother me.
