Is it just me or does this listing look like a fake? It seems wayyy off from the Numero Uns bags that I own (note: I am not looking to buy a Polene bag online, I buy them only on-site in their Paris store). The listing also says the bag is "brand new, never been worn or used..." :hrmm:

Full-grained calf leather. Hand-made in Spain. YKK Excella two-way zipper. Twilled lining 100% cotton. Adjustable shoulder strap: 120 cm. Undeniably feminine for its sensual curves, "Number One" is Polène’s signature handbag.

The seller does not take returns that is number one, so if there is any question about
authenticity it likely will be an issue because don't know if there are any independent Polene
authenticators & this seller looks like she would be fighting any authenticity dispute, JMO
Number 2, there is tax & shipping & the price is $350
For the difference of not a lot of money, I'd rather buy the bag from Polene & have the
reassurance that my bag is authentic, JMO

As I said in my post above, I'm not looking to buy online, we're only 3 hours from Paris by train so it's easy to buy bags directly at their store. I just wondered if others thought it was as suspicious looking as I did.

This looks really strange. I’ve never seen this shape. Maybe a very damaged/deflated Numero Un?

The Ecru looks like the perfect neutral. It's not too light or cold, nor too dark or warm. It seems to be a very light, creamy beige.
I think it's perfect for a beach vacation, and really, for any kind of summery outing. I'm looking at this color as well as the taupe for the Tonca.

Thank you! Yes, ended up buying it and will definitely bring it to our beach vacation in a couple of weeks!

Agreed - this is a cute look too but I much prefer it to attach at the ends instead of the handle.

Back on topic… While I still like it, I am beginning to think I might sell my Cyme. It’s a useful bag, but the lilac color just doesn’t go with as much of my wardrobe as I thought. And I have a lot of pale pink bags.

Totally. I've seen this style and love the color and size but I'm not a huge fan of those strap clip-ons. It's not at all comfortable.
I have a Gucci Mini Dome and I love the shape of the bag but it has this same strap system and it makes me not want to wear the bag as much.
I recommend you look for the older style of Le Pliage Cuir at discount stores like Nordstrom Rack, TJ Maxx, Marshalls and even on Ebay. I've seen many Longchamps in those stores (more so now that they all have e-commerce sites) at discount prices. :biggrin:
