No problems with the clasp. I have had it for well over a year. The clasp is very secure yet easy to open. Super happy with the Beri

Saw this on reddit. If you could only buy bags from one brand, what brand would it be? I would choose polene but I would love to hear other answers too.
I see people talking about the size of the regular neuf, and I won't lie, as a petite person, I do not care. It is always the statement piece in my outfit, so I want it to be large and in charge，take up all the space.
I am not a petite gal I am over 5'6" & I wear the regular Neuf in Taupe & Chalk
It's a fabulous, stylish bag, well crafted & very chic..
I love Polene, but I also love backpacks, and they don't make any at the moment. I'm also not really a fan of Polene's current selection of wallets and a practical laptop bag for work with many compartments is also nice to have. So it would be hard for me to commit to just Polene.
The brand I'd probably choose is Picard. It's a German leather brand, their bags are of good quality and affordable, while I find the designs and colors not as special as Polene, they offer a wide selection. And same as Polene it's a brand that I can buy without the risk of breaking out in a rash from a bag (I'm highly allergic to nickel), which unfortunately is not true for many brands, including expensive ones.
Actually… for now, probably Longchamp
For similar reasons that the reddit member had posted… range and quality. Thanks to my fellow enabler @frenziedhandbag
for the introduction into the world of LC!I love my Polene bags but sometimes I feel design>practicality for Polene (who doesn’t love beautiful bags, but sometimes I still get occasionally annoyed squeezing things in and out of my neuf and mini huit as much as I love them…). But maybe I need a different Polene style like a Cyme mini?
I love longchamp too. I bought a used large pliage cuir and it's an amazing workhorse. Throw it around on flights and carry everything for work. I have a few other pieces as well. Super light weight and durable. All their bags are practical, but the polene are definitely more elegantActually… for now, probably Longchamp

For me, it would be Massaccesi. Because Marco Massaccesi lets his customers choose lining, strap drop, hardware etc - I am addicted to this possibility of customisation.
Just looked at the styles available. Under consideration for me would be the Charlotte but
again the Massaccesi name is smacko front & center. For me personally, it's a deal breaker
The reason that Polene Neuf has appeal to me, is that the name is on the side of the bag
& virtually undetectable, JMO
Yep I feel the same way about branding. I really hate when the brand name is prominent. It’s my bag, get your name off of it
I really don’t like being a walking billboard.I think I would go with Polene as my only bag brand if I had to. I’m a small purse only kind of girl so having a wide variety of interesting but not overly trendy small bags suits me best. Polene has enough bags currently that I’m interested in lol and that price definitely makes them hard to say no
The price point really does not reflect the style, the craftsmanship & the quality of the leatherYep I feel the same way about branding. I really hate when the brand name is prominent. It’s my bag, get your name off of it

that Polene bags exhibit. It simply fits the bill
I'm enjoying the Neuf in Chalk & Taupe
The appeal is it's an everyday workhorse bag that I don't have to worry about dirt as it gets
wiped clean. The bag can be worn all year around & offers versatility in one's wardrobe.
It is LOGO free which has great appeal to me, JMO
For me, it will be Longchamp as well Same reason in terms of consistent quality, practicality and lack of logos for most styles. Polene is really an intriguing brand in terms of design. I'm happy that you introduced me to it.Thanks to my fellow enabler @frenziedhandbag
Another vote for Longchamp! They are simply so classic and easy to wear!
Also love Polene’s taupe colour!

A great video for Polene bag comparisons.
Watching her try on the Neuf Mini in taupe has sealed the deal for me.
I’m most definitely ordering this bag next week.
