Hi everyone! I got my umi in taute at resell platform as they do not deliver to us directly. Quality in no doubt as I can compare with my #10 but I’m a bit concerned about the way the logo is put on , it’s foul stamping but on web site pics it is blind embossing. Please advice does anyone have the same ordering from polene directly?

the thing is though, the folds aren't sewn in place all around the fold. It's just the top. I have shirts with backs like that, where there's a bit pleat and only sewn at the top. They're not going to remain symmetrical unless you meticulously iron them down every time you wear it. Same with bags. Even if you got a symmetrical bag with symmetrical folds, with however you wear it and what you put in it, the folds will change how they lie. I hesitate to say it's a quality issues as just natural to how the material and design is.

Going with a bag without folds like this, or with one that's completely sewn down all around would be the best bet for symmetry.

The pleats analogy is really good! I do see where you're coming from, but at the same time, when one side is more narrow and pleated down to the bottom and the other side is more rounded and less pleated it's just odd to my eyes. I think in that case polene should put a disclaimer that it is because of the way it is sewn that it can't be symmetrical or sacrifice some space on the inside and add more stitches inside to ensure the shape stays symmetric. I tried keeping it stuffed with its packing material in hopes that I could reshape it to be more even, but it just didn't. It did already go back to them. As sad as I am, I knew it was right for me to let it go and just admire from afar.

I'm sorry but this looks a bit sus to me. The stamping looks off, and as far as I know, Polene doesn't wrap up their straps.
Video of a Polene Umi unboxing here:


I don't have an Umi, but the logo looks like this in the bags that I have (so you can compare) IMG_20220812_195955.jpg

I think you may be right but it’s hard to tell. On my Polene bags the logo is more deeply stamped and the word looks neater and sharper than in your photo. I’ve attached a photo of my Umi, purchased from Polene. I honestly don’t remember whether or not the strap was rolled up and wrapped.image.jpg

I agree with the others, this looks fake-I would return it! I'm so sad these bags are being knocked off!!

Also agreeing with the above posters. The logo looks very off, I would return if possible.

Much to my surprise & earlier than expected, my Polene Numero Neuf in Chalk
just arrived.
Perfection is all I have to say. This color is quite divine & very neutral meant to be
worn all year around which is just what I wanted.
I was on the fence about this color, no reservations about recommending Chalk
for anyone looking for a soft neutral color bag
And what I love most about this is that there is a quiet presence making the statement
