Hi everyone, I’m sorry to hear so many of you had issues with your bags. I just wanted to share my experience with polene. I have a total of 8 Polene bags - 3 un nanos (in lilac, chalk and textured black), 1 un (green croc), 1 huit mini (fresh almond), 1 huit (cognac), 1 dix (textured black), 1 mini neuf (glacier) - purchased over a period of time, with mini neuf being the latest bag purchased roughly 2 months ago; two bags were purchased this year. I have had a grand total of zero problems with any of my bags. I have even purchased Polene bags for my friends. among my oldest, and/or most used bags, none of them show any sign of wear and tear. Zero. i Emailed customer service two times over the years to ask them questions about their bags, and both times they replied promptly.

I guess I have been very lucky...

by the way, I couldn’t be happier with the mini neuf in glacier. It is such a stunning color!
 
I haven't had that experience, but I will definitely watch for it! I'm sorry that happened to yours. TBH, I don't switch out my straps at all and the strap I use is always on the same hole, so maybe that's why it hasn't happened.

Edit: I re-read your post and realized that the issue you had with both came from using just one strap. The strap I have been using has not peeled on the underside or in the looped sections.
That’s so lucky! I wonder if they had a bad batch of glazing? Oh well… I still like the look, design and colour of the bag. It’s a shame that they don’t offer refunds for faulty items. It’s what I wanted but they insisted on sending another one, luckily the second one is a bit better than the first one I got. The first one even had pen markings on the leather of where they must’ve marked the bags prior to cutting or putting them together!

wow, I'm really sorry that you had that experience. It sounds like they need much better quality control!
 
I just received the cyme mini and the box was torn and the bag had all these marks on it, looked like it been used! Emailed Polene and sent photos and they got back to me in 48 hrs and apologized and offered a exchange! Quite shocked because I was prepared for excuses and not getting anywhere with them but they actuallyView attachment 5578421View attachment 5578422 handled it quite well!

This is a beautiful bag! I'm glad your issue was resolved quickly & perhaps Polene
has stepped up to the plate recognizing their popularity & that customer service is a priority.

Yes it is so lovely can’t wait to get a new one! Got four Polenes but feel like this one I’ll use more of! Yes fingers crossed because they make such beautiful designs it would be a shame if they let themselves down with bad customer service!
