I got a chalk white. Will send photos later.The Dix is awesome. I need to get another one at some point. I sold the one I had because I had way too many camel bags but I loved the shape, the tassels and the whole look. A cognac is on my list but now I'm thinking I may get it in another color.
Taupe is such a classic color. What other color did you get? I want to see a pics of your growing Polene family.
Haha you completely nailed it, it really is a very expensive, money losing and obsessive hobby! And yet we persist with this hobbyCongrats! I love the Roseau, especially the smaller ones. LC has some gorgeous neutrals for sure.
I think the Roseau XS version is similar to the Neuf Mini, in concept. I love these types of smaller/mini bags that have a lot of depth because they are easy to carry and look modern but still fit so much.
I should also be re-homing some of my bags (I seriously use the same ones again and again) but with the new IRS- $600 a year limit- on sites like Ebay, I am not very encouraged to have to prove that I'm not making a profit at all (I don't have all of my receipts from years ago) but almost always, it's actually a big loss. Ugh, so frustrating. It was fair when they had the $20k/200 transactions-limit, but now they're treating us little folks like tax-evading businesses when in reality, what we have is a very expensive, money-losing, obsessive hobby!
Thank you! Do update us with a new Polene family photo when you get your gorgeous new bags
I'm convinced!!! i am definitely getting a second mini neuf in camel. it's gorgeous.(I apologize for including a different designer on this post but it was at a fellow Polener’s request and I had to help.)
Polene Mini Neuf in camel vs. YSL Mini Lou in dark beige.
The Mini Lou makes the Mini Neuf look big in comparison but it’s just the perfect size for everyday wear and casual outings.
They’re both amazing, must-have bags. The Mini Lou is flirty, lightweight and fits more than one would think. It’s still a small bag but capacity is great to carry the essentials. The gold hardware is so stunning and glam.
Both bag colors are beautiful neutrals that go with everything. They both change a lot depending on light temperatures. I love that color chameleon quality.

This is what I can fit in the Mini Lou, plus my iPhone 11. And I can fit twice as much in the Mini Neuf. Even a mini bottle of water.

The camel in Mini Neuf is the perfect rich, bright light brown. So beautiful.
The dark beige in the Mini Lou is a cold, light taupe.
I prefer warmer types of neutrals so I don’t love the dark beige on me but the color itself is gorgeous. Very elegant and it changes with light.
Also, it’s a very wearable color that goes with almost anything you pair it with so that’s why I chose it.

You can’t go wrong with either of these bags. I strongly recommend both, and of course, the Mini Neuf is the star of this review.
Hope this comparison helps with your decision.

Thanks for responding!
You are very welcome. The Mini Neuf in camel is the right choice. The tone of the camel is perfect.I'm convinced!!! i am definitely getting a second mini neuf in camel. it's gorgeous.
too bad mini lou could only fit half of mini neuf.
thank you so much for these pics.

Reading the glowing reviews and beautiful pics of the mini neuf from @WillWordForBags always makes me tempted…
I am so sorry, I am not sure what leather characteristics you are describing if not a Vacchetta type leather... Hopefully someone else can help

I know right. We should join/start a support group together.Thanks!
I call this my “healthy addiction.” It is my handbag drug for sure.
It’s all about that “new bag hunt.” Not even about the bag itself. It’s the challenge of realizing I want it and that feeling of anticipation while waiting to receive it.
The second I get a new bag, I start thinking about my next one.
1. I think a lot of people start out with one of the Un styles, so it's very popular.
