Their full grain textured leather is amazing but note it’s only on SOME Polene bags, check the description before purchasing but I believe it’s used on the Un, Un Mini, Neuf, Huit, Beri, Tonca, and Umi. Otherwise they use a textured calf leather on the Un Nano, Sept, and Dix which is more like a stamped/saffiano type of leather. I own 5 Polene bags that are all full grain textured leather. When visiting their shop in Paris, I wasn’t a fan of the textured calf leather but I know some people on the forum love it.
Here is a quick photo from the chalk and ecru tonca in natural light to see the difference. Had to see the difference in real life so I ordered both. Under some light they are almost the same colour but you can see here the chalk undertones clearly. Both were flawless! I already returned the chalk, the ecru is so gorgeous creamy white color and the strap goes with it so perfectly.
About the return process: I asked the return via their website and choose the reason the color didn't suit me. They sent me the return label the same day.

Thank you! Just checked and Dix is made of either full grain smooth or full-grain textured leather. Will review again before I pull the trigger!
Awesome! I think you mentioned previously deciding between the monochrome Dix or one with contrast stitching? I realize now when I did my post that the Dix comes in full grain smooth, full grain textured AND textured calfskin options. The monochrome in black is what I originally clicked on and that is the textured calfskin version (I think the description box says full grain textured calfskin but the photo swatch on the bottom left just says textured, it is different than the full grain textured in the Un, Un Mini, Neuf etc. Can be so confusing!). Regardless of leather, I am a huge Polene fan and have nothing but satisfied with the 5 bags, 2 cardholders, 2 pouches and 1 wallet I’ve purchased from them!Thank you!

Polène | Bag - Numéro Dix - Textured Black
With its rounded shape, foam padding, and hand-stitching, the “Numéro Dix” is a nod to the equestrian codes of saddlery. Its half-moon design highlights juxtaposing curves.

Yes, it's normal. And normally arrives days before the actual date DHL first gives you.
The ecru is beautiful!
I have two Dix, and they are full grain leather. Such a great style!Thank you! Just checked and Dix is made of either full grain smooth or full-grain textured leather. Will review again before I pull the trigger!
Black.
I like both but I think I'm a monochrome girl at heart! I hope it's full-grain textured leather though. Agree - so confusing!
Which colours do you have?I have two Dix, and they are full grain leather. Such a great style!
So Polene got back to me about the issue on my Huit Mini in Fresh Almond. They acknowledge the white scuff/mark on the bag as defect and asked me to return the product at their expense for a refund. I was hoping they would offer an exchange, but it’s probably because the fresh almond is out of stock.
I really love the color though and not sure if it will ever come back in stock anymore. What would you all do if you were me? The defect is on the front, so once you are aware it is there, it is pretty noticeable. I don’t wanna be living with bag in non-perfect condition when I bought it new at full price, but it probably means I’ll have to part with the color I really like forever.

I have the backpack in black. I bought it second hand off Poshmark though.
I also have the un mini. I definitely carry the backpack more. It's lighter weight, the clasp is easier to close and the strap is more comfortable. I tend to use it as a crossbody
