Polène handbags

The folds on your bag are even huh? Mine are so noticeably uneven. I emailed Polene about it to ask for an exchange but it's been a week and they haven't replied.

I think the folds are not perfectly even but I don't mind it. Mine looks great. Sorry yours is so uneven.
I did contact Polene about the lining but haven't heard back either.
They probably delay on purpose to get us past the 15 day return window or maybe they're just slammed, considering how popular they've become.

Hi! I waited reply from customer services over two weeks, they told me there was some problem causing the delay. Its not on purpose They prolonged my return window because of the delay and I was able to return after they responsed, so no worries!

Great to know. Thanks for the heads up.

I recently discovered this brand by chance (I definitely should be more active on instagram hahaha), and I'm in love! I got this cutie in blush color, the quality is just wooow! Leather feels as luxurious as on my Celine Sangle, I can't believe the price point!
Now I want few more models, I have to control myself...

So gorg! Thanks for sharing a pic of your new beauty
@danna_b I'm very interested in the mini neuf, and debating between blush and dune. Do you feel like the blush tone can work as a neutral and go with most outfits? I'm wondering if it leans more towards rose or a more subtle shade? Any details are appreciated! Its tough to decide on color based on the site alone :/

Tell me about it. I have to stop! Grabbed some goodies from the sales at Saks, Ssense, Neiman Marcus (someone help me).
And that, plus the 3 new Polene bags I've ordered (4 if you count the Umi I returned) should be enough, right? You'd think...

I have the feeling this will be a slippery slope indeed. My Fresh Almond Neuf arrives Monday …

Omg yes, another Fresh Almond lucky winner. I waited so long for this color. Glad I could order it in the Mini Huit because I love the shape and I’ve had it before so I know it well. It’s not the most comfortable bag as far as accessibility but it’s so beautiful, it doesn’t matter.

Polene is certainly a slippery slope.
I got a new Mini Neuf yesterday that’s still waiting to be worn, have the almond Mini Huit on the way, and I’m still looking at the site and itching about my next bag.

I need to hire a therapist that deals with handbag (particularly French brands that are awesome and affordable) addictions.

My new duo ecru tonca! Sorry that the last shot is in my bathroom, but that’s the closest mirror with good lighting! I’m about 5’1”.

Hey guys. For those outside of Europe and order on Polene website, do you get charged for customs tax?

Nope. No Customs charge for a purchase under $800.

Thanks! Good to know so I can keep each Polene order under $800.

So stunning. Love the color.
This will be my next bag. Wish it came in blush but they do have those other gorgeous pinkish colors to choose from.

I wonder if we should make a new thread for the tonca - the more threads we have the more likely to get our own sub-forum…

I think @poleneinblack created one already. She’s been MIA from here for a bit but many of us miss her!

Nope. Found this one, but that it. My New Polene Tonca

ETA: She was just here on July 1, so not too long ago. She is the #1 Polene Fan, she can’t leave us now….

The customs tax will depend on your own country regulations - for my country I have to pay local duties (comes to roughly 10% after including admin fee to DHL) if the value of the bag exceeds $400 local currency. Hope this helps!

No tax for USA! And during November - December holidays watch for free shipping

I keep telling myself to wait for the free shipping promo to pull the trigger on more polene bags, but the bag monster voice in my head keeps saying that the shipping fee is really not so much considering how fast it is… arg!

For those of you who own the cyme, do you find the shoulder straps to be on the thin side? Just wondering if they’ll dig into the shoulder if I load the bag up full. The cyme mini in lilac in particular is what I am wondering about
