I’ve been on the fence about this brand for a while now, but good to see some reviews and feedback here! I might hold off till Sept now to see if there’s any new styles/colours or versions of the Numéro Une but have to Polene’s colorways are consistently stunning

Question for those with the Numero Uno: I was looking at some closer photos of the bag, and it led me to wonder something. The back where the long strap is looped, the way it's sewn in... does it cause the bag to tilt forward when you wear it? Will the pressure of weight of contents in the bag cause it to weaken over time? I'm asking because I always manage to squeeze too much into bags. And I know this is a concern with any bag purchase really, but the photos of the back of the Polene did make me wonder, so I was just wondering if any owners had noted this as an issue/potential issue.
 
Well I decided just to take the plunge. It was so hard deciding on the color but I went with the Carbon. I’m so happy I did. She’s absolutely stunning! Perfect gray. She’s a little smaller than I expected but still a great size. I can see myself having more than one of these bags. I think the website pics are pretty close but here’s an inside and outside shot.

Is the whole thing gray or is the bottom black?

No it lies very flat against the body. It seems to be very balanced.

Croc bags have been around for 50 years or more and I don’t see them ever going away. They reek of classic. And have you checked out the thread “ just because its designer doesn’t make it good.” If this is the Trend, then there is gong to be a revolution before long, lol. I have the full pebbled bag.
If I could do it over I would have bought the navy croc bag, it is gorgeous. Do you wear navy?
I have been eyeing the croc in navy for weeks, but it's been listed as pre-order for Dec. delivery. I figured I had some time to think about it, but when I saw the navy croc was showing as available 2 days ago, I HAD to order it up! It's on the way for delivery early next week. I'm so excited! I'll post pics for sure.:smile:

Please do. I was looking at it again last night. I love my black one, but I sort of wish I had ordered the one you are getting. I think the croc and that beautiful blue color kick up a notch!
