That new maple color looks gorgeous! Wish they'd offer it in more styles! And the pics of the Tonca Dune with the model in real sunlight actually look close my Dune bag, instead of like a totally different color.

Does anyone have both the Un Nanos in Smooth and Textured leathers? How do you like yours in comparison? Or for those who only own the textured one, does the leather look nice in real life?
I always wanted to get the Nano in the smooth leather since I personally prefer the look of smooth, shiny leather a lot more but the color options are just very limited.
I’ve been eyeing on one particular color but the only choice is to go with the textured leather since it’s not available in smooth calfskin.
I’m not sure if I should wait for a combination of smooth leather in the color I like, which means it might never happen and that the color I’ve been eyeing on may be gone forever? I’ve only seen that color in 3 styles so far so I’m not sure if the color is considered seasonal.

I own 2 Un Nanos in textured leather and I love them. The texture is subtle and makes the bag be so much more durable and easy to handle.Does anyone have both the Un Nanos in Smooth and Textured leathers? How do you like yours in comparison?

If there is a color you want, get it. Polene is unpredictable, as far as pulling colors from the collections and not bringing them back. I think every color is to be considered “seasonal,” because even some of the supposed classic colors have sold out in some styles and we never saw them again.
Wow I love the new maple color. Hope they do it in other styles!
gorgeous bag! I think with use it should straighten out a bit.My Numero Neuf Mini in Taupe came today
The folds are a bit lopsided though. Is that normal?

By the way, here is my first ever Polene purchase - Camel Tonca Bag that I will be returning. I wanted to love this bag, but sadly the colour is simply not as advertised.
When I opened the bag, the first thing that stood out to me immediately was the color difference between the strap and the body of the bag. I just simply didn't expect it to be that much different. The colour of the strap has an orange/yellow tone to it and does not, in my opinion, look good with the camel body. I really really wish they had shown this difference on the website.
The other thing is the leather of the strap. Expected it to be grained leather (would make sense, right?), but oh well
Again, I think they should have provided more information about that aspect - close-up pics and more detailed description would be very useful. The only description they have "The pairing of smooth and textured leather in this creation beautifully enhances the bag’s singular flowing design" fails to mention which parts of the bag are smooth, and pictures don't show that either.
The camel colour itself differs from what I've seen on the website so much I'm not going to mention it even. I think if I saw the accurate pictures of the bag, I wouldn't have ordered it.
But! I am still in love with the concept of the bag, its curves and cute twist, which is why I am going to forgive them the strap, return the camel bag and simply order a different colour currently debating between Cognac, Taupe and Ecru. I think overall the bag is very well made and perfect for a casual effortless look.

Thank you for sharing! I'm sorry you were disappointed! I've been eyeing this color as well and now I can easily pass this! I have the taupe tonca, it is beautiful and no duo colors. The strap is smooth but I really like the feel and look of it. If those new colors would been single colors it would be a struggle to not order them all

Do you find the taupe colour to be leaning more towards neutral grey or do you still see a bit of warm earthy tone in it? The photos I saw here seem to be so different from one another No worries!
I think that is the beauty of the Polene taupe, it looks different in every light!
Sometimes it looks cool grey and sometimes warm light brown and everything between! I have the celine nano belt bag in light taupe and I think the celine looks more brown and polene more grey when they are side by side. I'm in a vacay now so can't take a picture 
I believe the two tone colours is a concept of this particular bag! If you do not like the different textured leather and colour than no other colour will be for youBy the way, here is my first ever Polene purchase - Camel Tonca Bag that I will be returning.

The website features a swap of the leather. Usually it is only one swap but with the Tonca there are two as the strap seems to be smooth leather with all colours.

I understand that some colours in this style are in fact dual and I don’t mind the concept of it. It’s quite nice in some of them. For example, the newly added colors have gorgeous dual tonality, and that duality is articulated in the new photos really well.
However, I feel like it was not the case with camel. Although the website features the swap of colours and textures, it doesn’t mention which is which, and on top of that it’s not color accurate. So there was no way I could have known what the bag would actually look like in reality.
But, like I said previously, it is definitely a beautiful bag and I can’t wait to get it in a different colour

I used to own a Nano in the textured leather and sold it because I really didn’t love the feel of it. It’s very hard wearing but for me it didn’t feel very luxurious. It’s interesting because I own a Numero Sept in the textured leather and I find the leather beautiful on that bag. I really wish Polène would release the Nano in the grained leather.Does anyone have both the Un Nanos in Smooth and Textured leathers? How do you like yours in comparison? Or for those who only own the textured one, does the leather look nice in real life?

Ohhh, help I just got this in the mail from Polene, I see others mentioned it already too. But these new colors!!
I’m thinking about adding the Glacier, been drooling over that color on other bags but these are all gone now sadly.
Anyone likes to share her/his Glacier bags for color reference for me?
