I received my black L’Osier today and I love the bag. I got it before the shipment date of April 30th, so pretty impressed!

I too got my L'Osier early. I am a little underwhelmed by this bag. I got so sucked into the hype and own a Number One already and love the quality. It's just a meh bag to me for the price of $260, wish I had bought a bucket bag from them. If I ever told anyone the retail price of this bag , they would so laugh at me. It looks cute on instagram, but in real life buy one of their leather bags instead. I know it's made of bamboo, but the inside is a little rough. I feel like they should have atleast put some kind of liner in the bag to protect the contents. View attachment 4420653View attachment 4420654. I have seen a brand called Amerii and their bags look so cute and are way cheaper. Wish I had found them first.

Will you please post pictures of the yellow #4. I love this bag and have been hoping someone would buy it on here to get an opinion on it. I have lusted after a yellow epi Louis Vuitton Noe for years, but can not seem to find one in decent shape. So I think this may be a good substitute.
hi 
does anyone here bought by polène website and pick up on the paris store? I'm looking into purchase my first polège bag, and my brother in law will be in paris soon. So I'm in doubt about let him buy for me at the store or previously buy on their website to make sure that the bag will be exactly what i want. Besides that, does anyone know if poléne offers detaxe? Thanks!

OMG!! If you’re undecided and not sure whether to go ahead with purchasing the number one, just go for it!! It is the most adorable little handbag ever. The quality is amazing as well! I was um-ing and hum-ing for a few months and I finally bit the bullet and it arrived today. Oh my gosh! It is sooooo cute!! I’m glad I got it in my combination as well!! It’s definitely smaller in person but it still fits plenty

Has anyone else had trouble ordering a Polene on line?
I bought one around April 25, but I had trouble getting the site to take my card. Despite the fact that the site says it takes Visa, MC, AmEx and "other," it refused my AX card and said merchant does not accept AmEx. So I tried a Visa debit card, but it refused it. I tried 2 more times and it refused it. So I emailed the company and got an answer to try it again. Before I could do it again, it went through to the bank.
Last night I decided to order another one because I like the first one so much. I have attempted 6-7 times to order it; it refuses. I finally sent another email last night saying "I have tried to buy a bag 6-7 times and got refused again. I give up."

Update: Apologies to Polene, which I did. It WAS my debit card. Our bank recently changed the debit card from Visa to Mastercard. Mastercard tells me that to order outside of the country I need to tell them in advance, "especially France" to prevent fraud. I am not sure why it went through last week though. At any rate I am now free to order the bag if I want to do so. I have not made up my mind. I really like the black numero un and the tricolor camel is so unique and classy.
But do I need two of the same style that I like and really work for me? That is always the question, isn't it.

Glad you're able to order your bag now!! I say the best bag collection is the one that works for you - so if the bag works, why not make it work MORE by having more colors to match all your outfits?
I love my camel numero un. I have some pics posted of it earlier in the thread. I always get complements when I use it. I debated the same colors, but I already have a few black bags and decided to venture out of my comfort zone. I'm terrified of color transfer/pen marks but so far I have been lucky with the color.
Your posting is what put the tri color camel in my mind. So this hit to my budget is your fault, lol. And there are products that will take color transfer off, especially on a hardy leather like pebbled. So I plan to use it and enjoy it.
Love it. I wish I had bought that one instead of the black one after seeing yours. Lovely.
A couple of people commented that the bag is rather small. I would not call it small, but medium in size. And I do agree that it is somewhat heavy. But I have some that are heavier, so at first it did not feel heavy to me. I use the black one every day and plan to use the camel one every day as well, but I would not carry either one of them if I were walking a long time with it on my shoulder. I have light bags and heavy bags for different uses. I hope people will not be out off by thep weight because the bag in this lether and with this quality is really underpriced.
That is what I decided. I am not one to have 5-6 of the same style, but two that are extremes in color will be fine.Glad you're able to order your bag now!!
