Totally. If we can’t get Sage bags, we’ll have to settle for sage something! Cards holders it is! Lol.I also suffer from plenty of SLGs. I have to admit the Polène SLGs in sage are very, very tempting! I wish this color—as everyone else has cried—was more available in other styles.Do you hear me, Polène?
Thank you for the feedback! But it's sad to hear that it doesn't make a lot of difference..
I enjoy your posts very much, I like that the thread is active. Keep up a good job!
They are both beautiful neutrals! taupe is a cooler neutral whereas camel is warmer. Usually taupe refers to a cooler base; your eye does t really see it but it is a neutral with a bluish-pink that keeps the color from having a creamy, yellow, or orange tone. Camel, on the other hand, has yellow-red undertones so it is warmer. Polene does a great job of keeping both the taupe and camel as subtle as possible. Both colors would work for your wardrobe and they are both really beautiful IRL. The camel might pop a bit more whereas the taupe, which is a bit lighter, would blend in a bit more.
This totally makes sense to me! I had my “colors” done and I Have cooler undertones as well, which means I generally go for black, grey, cooler browns, and bright jewel tones. BUT, I bought a Dix in the cognac color (warm brown) because I absolutely fell in love with it at the store. And the camel is also beautiful! I would say that given how light their taupe is, if you are looking for a year-round bag that is at home in the fall and winter months, camel would be an excellent choice. Their camel is a classic tone, if that makes sense. (That said, again, I know that many here are wearing the Taupe year round as well.).
I was going back in forth on whether I wanted to go with the tonca or mini neuf. On most days, I dress pretty casual, so I was looking for an everyday crossbody that was a bit more low key without any luxury brand logos on it. I've heard great things about Polene and wanted to try something new! In the beginning, I was leaning more toward the tonca, but after looking at the mini neuf and watching videos, I finally decided to go with the mini neuf in camel. My only concern was the narrow opening and being annoyed about getting items in and out. Alas! I received my mini neuf today and am SO happy with my decision. For reference, I am petite standing at 5'0 feet and absolutely love the size and how it fits crossbody. The opening isn't too bad and I'm sure I will get used to it, so not a dealbreaker for me! I also agree with some of the previous comments that it would be amazing if they had this bag in sage or fresh almondhopefully one day!!
Pros:
So adorable!!
goes great w/ casual and dressy outfits
great quality leather
Unique, yet simple, structured bag
Versatile- crossbody, shoulder w/ strap, and crook of arm.
Fits all my essentials - iphone max, thin compact wallet, hand sanitizer, lip glosses, key fob, mints, hand lotion
lightweight
the amount of holes in the strap and being inclusive of all heightsMy luxury branded bags have pretty long straps and I end up needing to add additional holes in it.
Cons
Narrow opening
would have liked if there was some sort of slip pocket to place my lipgloss or card holder for easy access
Hope this helps anyone interested in the mini Neuf
Guys the nano Moka came back in stock!! Been checking every day and just saw today it was available again so have taken the plunge and purchased!along with the Tonca in Cognac which I’ve had my eye on for a while too… will post pics when they arrive! So definitely worth checking back periodically to see if they have stock again!
My new additions! Will take another photo with my Nano and Dix another day.
The Sept in burgundy is gorgeous! Exactly the colour I wanted. It looks very classy and seems to fit quite a bit.
The Neuf in beige is actually smaller than I thought (which is great) but still a tad too bulky. I’m keeping it though! Still looks great in the crook of my arm and the colour is GREAT IM SO GLAD I GOT THE BEIGE. Will also explore the wide strap option.
