Thank you for that! That is a huge bummer... I was really hoping that the color would have more of a green "Olive" color.. lol

Hmm, that's unexpected. This is why I'd like to visit in person. I thought about taking a trip up to NYC to frolic and visit Polene and Coach this Friday, since I have the day off. But I would hate to make the trip and find out that they also have the day off, what with it being a holiday. Most stores are open that day but I'd definitely want to check beforehand. But they don't answer their phone so I can't check. Sent an email with the question, but not sure when they'll respond. Customer service is quite strained in those pandemic days ...
I'm not sure what happened to my old post, but just reposting here... I just got in a Numero Un full size in terracotta, and scoured the internet high and low to find accurate photos, but there weren't many. So I took a bunch in a few different lighting conditions. Sorry one is blurry! Hope these help out someone.
I saw the color IRL in both of their stores and the burgundy definitely leans toward purple more so than what we typically associate with burgundy. It's really beautiful, but only if you like a purple (cool) undertone rather than a warm one.
Agree 100%!!!
Here's a post with some pics of the burgundy Dix.

Here are a few pics I have of my burgundy Dix. The first one is outdoors, the other two are indoors. Wow. This color looks so gorgeous. Thank you! Wish I knew if it looked the same in the Neuf style. I have noticed the colors vary depending on style and leather. Congrats on this stunning...

I cannot stress how much I love my neuf and also how much I rely on it. I squished the heck out of in luggage once, I store it crooked sometimes, I put them on the ground and throw them around literally. If it's out of shape, there's nothing some tissue stuffing or literally smacking the leather has not fixed.
Would love to hear from my Dix owners. So I pulled out my brand new Dix to use today. I had adjusted it before to shoulder bag length because I thought it looked cutest like that and I noticed a problem! The way the straps are designed actually dig into my shoulders. Disappointing because I love the adjustable strap design and if I wore it crossbody or any other length it wouldn't be a problem. However I was planning on using it as a shoulder bag so that's a no go for me. The Celine Ava is way more comfortable to wear; I can hardly feel it. [Also, I still prefer medium bags and while I want a few small bags, I definitely do not get the same amount of use out of them.]
Anyone else noticed this problem before?
I love my Neuf too...it is literally one of my all time favorite bags to use!! I probably use that bag more than all of my other bags. I just wish they made more colors. Maybe 1 new color every 3 months...or so it seems!
Enjoying my "NEUF" as well.. & would like to see several more colors as well including a midnight navy,
a hunter/forest green & aubergine color
I don't use it as a crossbody, but perhaps a different kind of strap for more flexibility for those that
can wear the larger size in that way, JMO
For me I'm wearing this more than my H bag.. it just looks "right to my eye now", a little under the
radar.
I wear it as a shoulder bag all the time (shortest setting on the short strap) and I honestly never noticed this. I sometimes wear it for hours on end on my shoulder and it does not dig in, I don't find it uncomfortable. Even if it's stuffed and heavy, but since it doesn't fit much it's usually very light. I guess a thicker strap might be a bit more comfortable but I'm used to thin shoulder straps and it works for me. (I rather have the opposite problem sometimes, if a strap is too thick it tends to slip off my shoulders and not sit nicely.) So sorry it doesn't work for you, guess our bodies are all made a bit different.
I have the huit in burgundy and I would describe it as eggplant..so yes more purple than brown.
Aw that’s so reassuring so hard to tell when you order online and can’t see them in real life! Will definitely order now! I’ve also come across another French bag brand called Fleuron which I have fallen in love with couple of their bags too, i think very similar to Polene style!
So, I was looking at the strap that's on the #7 and boy, would that look great on the regular sized Neuf! Obviously, it would need to have hooks to attach/detach unlike the 7 that has no option like that....but that's a very nice looking strap! I hope Polene is reading our comments and listening to us about needing more straps! The strap that comes with the large Neuf looks soooo rediculous! Like, really??
That's why I'm happy to have found that wide adjustable one from Cuyana but my bag is black so it matches perfect.Hi everyone! I'm about to place an order for a number one mini, but before I did, I wanted to reach out and see if you guys can guide me on how to request the piece of leather for the strap. How do I go about asking for one? Thanks so much in advance for any advice!
You can write to them via their IG account or client services before you place your order so you
will know if you can be accommodated.. good luck & enjoy the bag..
I also might add to be patient as Polene doesn't always respond as quickly as you would like
My numero dix in green arrived. Also, added a small family pic…
