The folds on my Neuf mini are quite uneven. Should I try my best to ignore it or return it? I don't know how common this issue is with the Neuf.

I think it looks fine. These bags are handmade and I don’t think they’re meant to be perfectly symmetrical but more organic as to how they’re sewn by each artist.

I feel like the idea behind Polene is to keep an impeccable quality standard but allow for each bag to have that artisanal and uniqueness quality.

Just my personal opinion. Hope it helps in some way. :biggrin:

Ohhh, help :lol: I just got this in the mail from Polene, I see others mentioned it already too. But these new colors!!:nuts::love::girlsigh:

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?:hbeat:

I feel like the overview images of the Polene bags are most accurate when it comes to their colours.

This morning I recieved the email from Polene that they just release new summer colors of Tonca bag.
My heart sank and I just placed an order for the pale blue one. I think it’s a gorgeous color and pretty neutral.
It is soooo drop dead gorgeous . I will be in Paris in October but I am afraid that by that time the summer colors will be gone.
I own already 4 Polene bags and love them all!!!!!92626FD7-5F52-4226-B30F-C8AABD077479.jpeg6EA9C92B-C4C7-4231-B0CB-A458AC1AAE19.jpeg47060230-4093-475C-925E-EA0F667A860C.jpeg9416B5FA-F9DC-4451-9A7C-947B625F939A.jpeg

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.

Thank you! That is exactly what I’m thinking! I also feel that the textured leather options in the Nano size doesn’t match the look of the Un bag and makes it look less luxurious, while I also own the Dix in textured leather and to me it seems to match the casual look of the bag pretty well. Wish they released more colors with either the full-grained leather like they do with the regular Un or more smooth leather. Their textured leather does keep me from my buying the Un Nano.

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.

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.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! I really like the textured leather on my Dix. It does make it less prone to scratches and everything which is awesome! But somehow still couldn’t get past the feeling that the look of the Un matches the smooth leather more. I agree though that the future color availability is unpredictable even with the supposed classic colors. I’ll need to see/think harder if I really want this color enough to compromise the style. This is going to be complicated because I’ll also never get to see what the color actually looks in real life before making a purchase also. So if it turns out that I don’t even like that color in real life, I’m going to be extra sad lol. :panic:

No worries! :smile: 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 :biggrin:

I think that is the beauty of the Polene taupe, it looks different in every light! :love: 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 :-s

May I chime in? I have them both so here’s the picture of it side by side. I agree that the Celine in Light Taupe looks more brown while the Polene in Taupe leans toward more grey!

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. :sad: 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 have the trio which has textured and smooth leather and the moka in smooth leather. I find the smooth leather more appealing as it looks and feels so great! Haven't used them much as I just got them so can't really say about the wear and tear. If there would be more colors in smooth leather I would be in trouble :lol:
