Go for the mini neuf in taupe!
I think you may love the shade of this taupe more than the LC crossbody taupe.

Thank you. You read my mind!
I was just thinking that same thing, which is why I hesitated on ordering the LC City Crossbody in taupe again. I mean, if I love the Mini Neuf so much and if the taupe and camel are different enough to justify having both, then why am I insisting on getting a bag that has underwhelmed me twice?
And then my answer is: "Well, but that LC poster said that she didn't love it at first either but that after using it, she started to love it..."
But then I thought about the shade of taupe of the LC being too grayish and not warm and beigey like the Polene taupe... We are becoming bag philosophers at this point, lol.

The Taupe is a gorgeous & not the typical shade & quite the contrast compared to the Chalk
The taupe is very cool looking besides.
I love the Chalk & find it very wearable. I'm looking forward to wearing it in the fall with tones
of grey, taupes, off whites & neutrals. It just simply works & if you are a gal that likes prints
it will work with prints as well, JMO

That's a great assessment. I love the chalk. I wear it so much. It goes with everything in my closet. I would just prefer a color I don't already have so much of. That's why I'm looking at the taupe. I was going to get a Tonka in taupe but the Tonka shape plus the inside leather folds have kept me from ordering it.
I am just Club Neuf Mini all the way and loooveee the way the bag stays open without being unsafe. I only need one hand to grab things. It's a remarkable idea.
I'm gonna go back and stalk photos of this thread to see the color contrast between the camel and the taupe, just to support my desire to order a Neuf Mini in taupe...
Btw, I'm an OG but I never learned if there was a way to look at the photos of a thread without having to scroll through all the comments.

Have been quietly reading the thread since p.290 and feel like I should make myself known
Used to exclusively wear premium designer handbags until I visited the Polene store back in Feb this year and have since got 3 Beris, a mini nuit, an Un backpack, a micro Un and a Dix.
IMO Polene is truly a breath of fresh air in the bag world with their elegant yet unique designs, top-notch quality and friendly price points.

Welcome my dear. We are all enablers here so you're in the right place.
We feel the same way about Polene being a breath of fresh air. I see you're a Beri fan. It's a gorgeous, unique bag for sure.

Aren't many of us lucky that we can pivot from our high end designer bags & be content purchasing
a really stylish functional bag like Polene..it is a breath of fresh air & the way so many of us style
& wear the bag just makes it that more fun to look..

I'm an OG as well & in spite of the thread being long, it's just as informative from my perspective to
go through it again .. JMO

I totally agreed! Especially with the situation we are living in, I'd prefer to be more conscious on 1. my spending habit and 2. brands that I support

Side note, can people kindly do a PSA when the Un Nano in Moka restock? TIA!

I just received the numero dix in chalk today & I already love it! Glad I chose this color instead of black. I think my fur baby is impressed by the leather smell too!

Looking at Mini Neuf in taupe vs the camel I already have. I guess taupe is different enough from camel.

My camel is lighter in person, so I’m guessing the taupe will be lighter too.

Also looking at the burgundy. Anyone seen this leather in this color IRL? Is it as bright and rich as it shows or darker and colder?
Feedback welcomed.

IMO, the "Taupe" reads a shade deeper than the image shown on Polene's website

why my response is tagged onto yours, sorry.)
The Taupe & Chalk in particular to me read like vintage Armani colors.. that's what the appeal is for me, personally
The kind of color you really can't describe but it is unique & interesting
The Taupe is very a distinctive color & my Chalk is not white/grey tones either, just a soft tone
& that's what makes it so wearable for all year around wear, JMO

You have definitely enabled me with all your positive reviews of the neuf mini. It just happened that I was being a little irked by a flap bag that would flop open if I didn’t shut it properly, but having to find the magnetic clasp to align it to shut it would take a few seconds. And then you said what I was thinking about the mini neuf that it’s secure yet easy to reach into… you read my mind too!!

So far I’ve just been using the search function to comb posts to look for photos of bags… not sure if there’s a more efficient way of doing it lol.

Here are a few pics I have of my burgundy Dix. The first one is outdoors, the other two are indoors.

Agreed. They are very special, sophisticated colors. Can’t go wrong with either.

I admit. I am a proud enabler.

I’ve just had so many bags throughout the years, that when I find one that feels different and special, I just want to have it in every color, haha.

You should definitely give the Mini Neuf a try. I am now deciding between taupe and burgundy, but I will surely end up with more of these little cuties, because I have not even looked at any of my other bags (haven’t even worn my Huit Mini in Almond) since I got it and it’s become my everyday favorite.
