Argggg I’ve gone to stare at the photos in the Polene reference thread that @Biogirl1 very kindly shared, while chanting in my head “bag ban….” and wrestling with that small voice that says “it will go out of stock again soon…”The mini neuf in glacier is in stock again!
Thank you for this. These pics are so cute.My friend’s in Camel and mine in Taupe. Hope this helps!
For some reason the taupe looks much more grey in the pictures than it does in person. The IRL shade looks (surprisingly) like on the Polene website—a blend of light brown/beige and grey. But that beige and brown never shows up in photos like, almost ever—esp when you compare it to dark brown color like camel.
I’d agree it somewhat depends on how you usually dress (warm tones & gold jewellery/ cool tones & silver jewellery). For me I normally like dressing in warm tones so I find the taupe a bit too cold to my liking and wish I’d chosen the beige instead.

It helps a lot to know the taupe looks a lot like the image on the Polene site. I’ve always wondered. Need to add taupe to my wishlist for sure.I struggled with this same question! I’m not petite (5’6” and US size 4/6), but now that I have my mini huit, I’m so glad I went with the smaller size. It looks perfectly in proportion, and I think a full size in this kind of shape would have overwhelmed my frame. It hits nicely at cross body and as a shoulder bag, and looks chic carried in the hand. I’ve been wearing this bag frequently for about a year, and I find the mini to be plenty roomy as an on-the-go city bag. (Days I need to carry more would generally mean documents, scripts, lap top, etc., or stuff for my kids, so I would be choosing a different bag shape all together). The mini ended up being the perfect size for me. Hope that helps!

I’m on the petite size at 5’3” and like JFlyte, I’m also glad I went with the mini. I think the mini size is more proportionate especially when worn crossbody. I don’t have the regular size so I can’t speak much about it but from all the clips and videos I’ve seen, it seems to stick out a lot. The mini holds a decent amount if you’re worried about the capacity.

Thank you so much for this! Great pics and amazingly helpful. Good to know the colors on the Polene website are true to life. Beige is also one of the ones I am considering.My friend’s in Camel and mine in Taupe. Hope this helps!

I also own the neuf in beige & camel and out of these three Polene colors I own I love the beige most. Seems to go with everything—not too dark nor too light. But although I think the beige suits the Neuf style very much, I’m not sure how it would look/play out exactly in the Huit. Sticking to the majority of your wardrobe maybe a safer choice. Cool tone > Taupe, otherwise > Camel/Beige. Fun Fact: The camel makes the bag look very similar to a Canale pastry.
