Because they've already been shown to have problems on the business side of the company. Troubles responding to customers, manufacturing issues (that's what killed the Numero Deux), keeping up with existing demand, etc. Unless they've gotten a really solid business manager, they could be spreading themselves too thin.

Customer service issues combined with quality issues is a killer for a new brand, especially here
in NYC..
NYC is tough to do business in especially with "bag issues", so hopefully Polene has stepped up their game.
I also think that the cache of buying something in Paris has a certain aura . JMO

Since I buy online I would be happy for it to ship from New York if that is faster than shipping from Paris. And return costs won't be so bad sending back to New York, which will be nice and make returns cheaper.

Is the Polene Numero Un Mini anyone's favorite? I waited too long and didn't get the backpack version, but I love the shape of the Un Mini. I also love the look of the gold chain. I have heard that the chain really digs into the shoulders. Anyone find any solutions to the that? Do you just keep it light in terms of what's in it?

Likely there will be sales tax & a delivery fee. Would think the delivery fee being shipped from NY
would likely be close to $20 ( hopefully will include insurance) unless they waive the shipping fee
but sales tax they can't elude unless your state doesn't have sales tax on handbags
My bags came very quickly when they were shipped from Spain via DHL
Just wondering if a client buys on line will NY take the return or deal with any customer
service issues?

Does anyone own the same bag in both burgundy and cognac? I recently purchased the Un nano in cognac and love it, but I'm now tempted to buy the burgundy Un nano as well. I'm thinking the burgundy would be more of a fall/winter bag while I could use cognac year round. I haven't been able to see burgundy in person though, so I'm wondering if it looks different enough from cognac to justify owning both.

Anyone here in NY thinking about going to the new boutique today? I would love to see pics if they allow it.

I was just about to ask if anyone had gone. We need news coverage, lol.
I am excited but also worried about being charged tax now (like @Love Of My Life mentioned). I was very happy about paying only shipping and no tax. I doubt the shipping fee will be lower if it ships from NY, so the tax will definitely add up on these bags.

My other worry is that our beloved "niche/cult" brand will probably become more popular now. Not sure how I feel about seeing these bags everywhere now, as opposed to spotting the occasional Polener here and there. We'll have to wait and see.

Here is the storefront taken from their FB page. It looks so pretty.

Yeah tax will definitely be applied if the bags are purchased here. That can't be avoided unfortunately. At least the returns will be easier now, I hope.
