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 assume they give you 15 days to return it, right? Ahh, if this is in a different color, it will be easier :oh: and you could not keep it until they "might" restock this color again. I have the feeling that they could restock this color (on their website, the Regular Huit Fresh Almond is gone, but the Mini is still there). You can try to ask them if they will make this Mini Fresh Almond "discontinue". I realized their response about "no plan to restock" was not 100% true lol.
I did ask them (on IG) the reason why they restocked some colors (Fresh Almond, Cognac) for the Mini Huit. They replied, "...it happens that some models which it had been decided not to restock are finally put back in stock due to a strong demand or other reasons." I guess this color does have a strong demand, and talking about the NY store, businesswise, there is a small chance this color will be in stock again (don't take my word for it). So if I were you, I might hold on to this bag until I see them restock it again. Sell this one and buy a new one maybe. Or just return in (since they cover the shipping fee) and hope for another restock.

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.

This is noticeable defect & you know it is there
Obviously to have a new bag would be the best option & I'm not sure that a touch up with a
bag cream would be the answer as eventually that flaw would still be present, so that would
personally not be an option that I would consider, but that's me..
There is a possibility with the NY store scheduled to open, the color could turn up.
If you feel like you want to take the chance, I'd return the bag. You should have a perfect bag
The style works & perhaps another color might turn up for the fall collection & you might find
a color that you would like more & not regret sending the bag back.
There is also the possibility that this bag will turn up on the secondary market. It's always
worth looking for
You can sleep on it in a manner of speaking & explore your options..

I'd return it even though I am not sure if the colour will come back in stock, simply because knowing that the defect is there and in the front will bother me to no end. I rather get my money back than to live with (unhappily) a defective bag. Mind you, it is still a several hundred dollar bag. Wouldn't you rather prefer to have a perfect bag?

HI guys!
Love Polene! Knew about this brand from way backkk when it wasn't in the hands of influencers yet loll
love to see everyone purchases here.
Im going to Paris soon and wanted to see if its worth bringing back a polene from there- aka will I be saving good 200$ there vs. buying in US. Also planning on visiting LV , Chanel and Chaumet (if they have a store in paris- I havent researched this yet)

Hi!
I just got my first two (I couldn't decide ) Polène bags, and I am in love! ❤️
I got the Un Nano in trio Camel and this is the perfect everyday bag for me.
I also got the Tonca in black, and I think this bag can easily be worn for both day and night time.

I haven't decided what length is best for the straps when using the Un Nano as a crossbody. Do you think this is the right length for me, or should I lower it a bit?

Great choices, congrats!!
As for the strap length: I think that is mostly a matter of personal preference. The way you wear it in the pic looks great, but would look just as good if it sat a little lower. Being quite tall, mine ends up like yours here on the longest setting, and I quite like it.

Thank you
I am 5.10 (179 cm) and I "always" use the longest setting on my bags, but I have noticed a lot of people on SOME carrying their bags higher and I think it looks great. This length felt a bit awkard to me, but I think it's just due to habit. What I like about this length is that I can access the items inside the bag more easily.
I think I will keep it this length, if it doesn't look weird, until I have to wear my winter jackets. Then I will adjust it to the longest setting.

Hi, and welcome!

It is definitely worth going to the store. First, you will be able to inspect the bag firsthand. Second, you will save money. I’m from the US and bought the Dix at the Paris store. With the exchange rate, the total cost of the Dix was about $348. If I purchased it online it would have been $390 plus shipping. The prices are definitely cheaper in-store. Plus the store is beautiful (they designed the architecture to mimic the curves of their bags!) and the service is excellent.

Thank you so much!
I will definitely check it out then.
When I first got my hands on polene bag I was like there is no way this leather is below 400$! Compared to LV/Fendi leathers it is just as well made and so underrated!!
