I think my beautiful burgundy numero un mini got stolen from in front of my house. It is a discontinued color, so I had gotten it off ebay through USPS. Almost $400 down the drain. USPS is no help. I am lucky to live NYC, so I can get another numero un mini. Unfortunately, I won't get the color I wanted.
I'm so sorry to hear this!! Have you reached out to eBay? Maybe they can help if USPS won't...
 
Yay!! I also just bought the same exact bag: mini Neuf in chalk :love: Its so cute and I've gotten so many compliments on it. Truly a great bag and lovely shade! Thanks to all the praise from this thread, I'm glad I listened and went with the chalk :loveeyes:

My first Polene bag!! Mini Neuf in Chalk. She came today and I'm in love :love: The color couldn't be any more perfect.

No more bags for me this year I think. But... I REEAALY want a Un Nano in Trio Camel now :drool:
 
Hey, darling! :idea: I haven't gotten it yet. But I will eventually because my Mini Neuf is one of my favorite bags to date.

I'm currently drooling over a YSL that I will be purchasing soon but another Mini Neuf is definitely on my list.
I might also get another card holder from Polene because I absolutely loved the one I got for my friend. A little treasure.
What bags are you eyeing right now? :biggrin:
Oooh! Which YSL? I am also considering a second mini neuf too!

Yes! This thread is what got me to go with chalk too. I came so close to choosing a different color because I was really apprehensive about getting a white bag. I’m just not a fan of the typical bright white for my wardrobe. Seeing how much everyone praised the color here for its versatility, and the lovely pictures shared completely convinced me. So glad I got it in the end because it looks really good with most if not all off my clothes!

I know! It's impossible to just have one Mini Neuf. :biggrin:

I'm finally getting a YSL Mini Lou, which I have been wanting to get for a long time but never did and now, I'm literally paying the price because they've gone up so much.
I remember when I was staring at it for $1,190 (seems like a steal now!) and didn't pull the trigger so now I have to shell out almost $1600 (if you add the tax) for it before the next price increase which is coming very soon.
I'm debating whether to get the dark beige, dark natural or that new vintage pecan.

If I go for the dark beige, then that will be my taupe bag and I'll get another Mini Neuf in burgundy or another fun color. :P

The YSL dark beige is a great colour!!! Such a nice neutral. And you can't go wrong with the mini Lou!

Thinking of chalk for my 2nd mini neuf! I'm in NYC soon - but hoping free shipping comes up in October so don't have to wait as long :)

Hi dear fellow Polène lovers! I have been very quiet on the forum for the past few months (I have a strict one bag a year policy, and too much talking about bags just makes me want to buy more), but now I haven't bought a bag since August last year. The last one I bought was my first Polène bag, the Dix in camel - I'm totally obsessed, I wore it so much over the last year, and the quality is amazing. And honestly I don't see myself buying another brand any time soon. For this year I'm considering the Huit (normal size) or the Neuf (mini or normal size, not sure yet) - in the color blush or taupe. I'm in love with the look of the Neuf, it really is a piece of art, but I feel like the mini is a bit too small for me and the normal size looks a bit odd worn crossbody. Anyone have some of these bags and can give me some insights, which gets more use in your collection? I have a very small bag collection so the few I have really need to work in everyday life. Thanks in advance!
 
Hi all,
I made the mistake of buying a Polene bag on Poshmark. I should have known it was counterfeit because the seller posted 2 more listings of the same item and the listing I bought had multiple quantities (after I purchased they added all of the other listings and I didn't notice the multiple quantities).
It came and it's fairly legit looking on the surface, but several things point to it being fake.
Problem is, Poshmark support is not being very helpful. Do any of you have suggestions as to how I can prove my case?
My main points are:
1) The seller has multiple of the same item but no proof of purchase
2) The bag came with the handle wrapped in plastic and the strap separately wrapped in plastic wrapping
3) There is no small tag on the inside
4) The dust bag it came with is thin, see-through, and the black cinching straps are very thin unlike the real Polene dust bag which I've heard is thick and nice quality and I've seen pictures of it.
I've already pointed this out to Poshmark, but they want more evidence.

Thanks!

Oh no, so sorry to hear this has happened!
Maybe you can write to Polene to get their concurrence that the dust bag quality and lack of a tag are evidence of a fake bag, then forward that to Poshmark?
Unfortunately I don’t have the un nano bag myself so I can’t give you any more help about the bag itself…
But I agree overall it’s likely a fake bag.

Oh no! The fact Poshmark isn’t being helpful when these bags aren’t exactly cheap would have me so pissed! I just opened up mine yesterday and like you said, the straps did not come wrapped and the dust bag is indeed super THICK. Fingers don’t show through like that with mine.

Maybe contacting Polene directly could help? If you send them the same pictures and concerns and ask them if they can confirm if it’s their bag or not… if they say it isn’t, forwarding that message to Poshmark might get PM to finally react. If push comes to shove, I would personally dispute the charge with my bank if Poshmark lets it go.
