I think in part it is. I doubt DHL charges Polene $20 for cross-continental shipping that only takes 3 business days.
When I order on a weekday, I get the bags 3 days later. 5 if the weekend gets in the way. That is ridiculously fast.
I'm sure a portion of that fee is already in the handbag price.
I think if they increase the product prices to give us free shipping, it might backfire, as we sure do love these under $300 and under $400 bags.
I wonder if it is included too, along with an out of store markup. I bought my Dix smooth leather cognac in-store and the total price was 330 Euros, or $338.55 USD. The same bag online is $390 USD, not including shipping.

Yes I think its perfect neutral year-around color! Goes very well with all black or all white/bright outfits. IRL is very deep rich color, which I like a lot. Dune is also very nice, but I think it's more summerish color, and I wanted something I can wear in every season. I'm very classic girl, most of my bags are black or taupe/beige/camel....
Here some comparison celine tan color (natural light).

Ahh this is so helpful! :smile: So nice of you to follow up with these pics comparing to your celine (so pretty), and your thoughts on the color. I think I'm convinced on the shade! I also tend to go toward more neutrals to make it easier to go with most outfits/seasons, but am also trying to push myself to get more adventurous shades too! I already have the larger neuf in cognac, which I LOVE but feel like it can be too large for my needs sometimes. The neuf gets so many questions and compliments, it really is a beautiful unique bag. The mini has been on my mind, just trying to be sure on that color before the big order!!

The Almond already sold out? Wow, that only took 2 days. I am sooo glad I got to grab one too!
Almond winners unite! :yahoo:
@poleneinblack will always be missed. She is an icon in these Polene lands. :loveeyes:

Yes the almond sold out quickly! I'm happy for us :happydance:I did order previously the mini backpack in almond but the model wasn't right for me and I returned it. I hope this model is great!

The Numero Un is still my favorite Polene bag. Out and about with the Navy croc version.

Stunning! This was also on my wishlist but it was out of stock then.
Do you find it heavy when it’s loaded with your stuff though? That’s one of the reasons I have held off getting the numero un. And if you have the regular neuf how does that compare in terms of weight? Thank you :)

She is absolutely stunning! I love that texture combo!

Look who arrived yesterday. :heart: :heart: So glad I waited/hoped/prayed/shookmyfist for the Fresh Almond to return rather than settle for a colour I loved less.

Gorgeous photo of your beautiful Huit. Fresh Almond is everything. I don't understand why this can't be a staple color.

Y'all trying really hard to break my Polène ban. I already got 2 (mini) and a half (micro) in a small span of time. I'm good—I think. Excited to see what the next season or six months will bring for Polène! Who knows what other new styles they'll bring!!
 
Got out of touch for a few days at a conference, so much to catch up on!

I will finally be joining the Polene club in a few days; thanks to an acquaintance's sale of a new Neuf in Fresh Almond, I'm excited! This color is probably as stunning as Duo Glacier! I will take pics in the sunlight for all when she arrives!

Congrats on nabbing a Neuf in Fresh Almond! It’s a lovely color!

Happy to join in this forum! First foray into Polene and I am so impressed with their quality, speedy shipping, price, and French je ne sais quoi. Here is the tonca in ecru and I am obsessed!! I was worried the body may be too light but it is a lovely vanilla cream. The colours are perfect and it hold all I’d need around for the day. The opening may take some getting used to but I am so excited to wear it!

Beautiful, congrats!!!

PSA: The Numéro Huit mini in Fresh Almond is back in stock!

Omg that’s awesome!!! Haha the Polene folks are such liars.

Holy Polene! You are my hero. I just placed my order!

Everyone on here has heard me cry and complain for months about the Fresh Almond being out of stock and I had even contacted Polene and they said they were “not planning to restock this color,” so your PSA got me my bag and I couldn’t be more grateful.

I had also signed up for those supposed restock alerts but didn’t get any of that either.

And I already had a Mini Neuf coming tomorrow so that makes 2 Polene orders this week and I could not be happier.

Merci beaucoup! :heart::heart::biggrin::blush::love::wave::P:yahoo:

Yay I’m so happy for you!

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...

Yay we are bag twins on this one!

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 :biggrin:

I have the Cyme mini in lilac! I don’t find the shoulder straps too thin, but then again I don’t know if I weigh it down a ton either.
 
Gorgeous. Am so upset they did away with the navy. Was planning to get my 2nd Un Nano in that color.
I love my Un too so much . I have it in monochrome black.
But I also love navy , such a rich color ! And I am so happy that I got Un mini in navy with suede and gold chain. It looks so dressy. I am going to France in September and taking my navy beauty with me.

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.
I'm quite disappointed with their customer service. I do suspect they're delaying emails because they want us to get past the return window.

I waited a response over two weeks, and they extended the return window because of the delay on their side, so that is not the case. And one can request a return normally via their site and the return label comes in couple of days. So I think only their customer service (responding emails etc) are experiencing some big problems right now.
