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 never noticed this with my Dix (now sold), but the straps are definitely thin. However, an issue with the strap that I had was that the straps would get bent in a curve if you left it on one setting for a while, so if you went to adjust it to a different length they would stay bent. The way they slot into the loops on the side force it into a weird curvy shape that molds the leather to that shape, if that makes sense.

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 really love your terracotta bag. This, or heather, was what I was wishing they'd release the Neuf in.

Thank you! Leather feels great and design is beautiful. The color is mostly as I expected, which is okay. I really wanted a Neuf but was not excited about any of the colors. I tend to like brighter colors or jewel tones, but I do understand that's not really Polene's aesthetic. I waited too long to get the burgundy, which is sold out now. I thought about Camel, but was really looking for a fall / winter feel, and this warm brown was the closest to that. It's quite similar to my Keds which are also in 'cognac'. I do like the bag, though. Maybe the color will grow on me. And I've told myself if Polene produces a color I really like, I'll buy it and sell this one.

My Neuf in Cognac arrived in lightning speed. Looks different in different lighting, but the first pic looks truest to me. Under artificial daylight white bulb. Second pic is also true, what it looks like in dim lighting

I feel the same way. I love the Neuf style but was not completely sold on the taupe color I chose, I loved the pictures online, but the bag is lighter and warmer in real life. I said if I find one I love more I might sell mine. But it's starting to grow on me, I might learn to love it. This weekend I'm even using it as an overnight bag - it's a tight fit but it works. The Neuf is so versatile!
