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!

Oh, nice to know someone feels the same, and that it's growing on you! I have another bag whose color I'm not thrilled about or anything, but I do still like the bag overall. I'm also impressed that you used it as an overnight bag! That's pretty impressive, and functionality will definitely make you like a bag more and more. If it does turn out that they end up producing a color you love, then you can get it already knowing that the functionality will be there.

There's a tiny white thing on the bottom of my lining. I suspect it's dried glue? I tried to get it off, but started to fear that if I pulled any harder, it might pull a thread, so I just left it in there. Other than that, the bag is pretty much perfect.

I bought a numero un nano at their store in Paris, and the bag is beautifully made. I ordered a numero un mini, which I also like, but I prefer the nano. My grandmother, who never comments on purses, saw these and asked about the brand and where I bought them. Guess I know what I'm getting her for Christmas this year. :smile:

What colour did you get? Also just wondering why you prefer it to the mini. Debating the Un mini or the Sept mini for dressy / events / evenings...

Even though the Dix hasn't worked for me in the past, I'm tempted to try to make it work for this color LOL

I do find that my long card case does not sit properly in the bag due to the crescent shape but this green is the type of green that I adore. A good green bag is so hard to come along so whenever I use this bag, I switch to a small compact wallet. I can still fit in my small umbrella within so it is still a winner of a bag. May I ask why did it not work for you in the past, if you don't mind sharing?

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 am contemplating the Cyme in Cognac color. Do you like the color? I am so undecided between the cognac and camel because both colors look so different in various lighting!

I was torn between these two colors too. I haven't seen the camel in person so can't do a true comparison. But I think the first picture I posted is truest to its color. I also posted one or two more in the Neuf thread:

I think when you see cognac pics and they look light as though they are leaning towards the camel color, those pics are not true to the real color and are the result of yellow indoor light or maybe even a room really flooded with natural light or something. Sometimes the cognac wants to come out with more of an orange tone in pictures than it has in real life. I actually wish it had that more orange tint, like I think the terracotta in other styles does, but it isn't. The color is warm and does have a bit of orange undertone, but it is definitely not orange, it is definitely a medium brown. I do think it is the color of cognac. And if you held a glass of cognac up and let some light shine through it, you could get a bit of orange undertone, but it's mostly a brown. I think it's more suited to fall and winter than the camel is, though they are both neutral enough to work year round. Cognac to me though really feels like a fall color.

Of course! The capacity of the bag was the main issue for me, as you alluded to. For the physical size of the bag, I found that it fit way too few items for my liking, probably due to the rigid structure of the bag and the round shape like you mentioned. I have a weird thing where I prefer my bags to look small but hold a lot, and the reverse of that typically really peeves me. Other than that I love the look and versatility of the bag and if it held more I'd probably own it in multiple colors! :(

Cognac or Camel?! Can’t decide!!

I love both! The Cyme is on the top of my wishlist and I'm currently leaning towards Cognac, but the only reason for this is that I already have a bag in Camel (Sandalwood would also be interesting, if they decide to make it). I love the color but I have a small handbag collection and want some more variety and try out more Polene colors before getting a second bag in Camel. But if this were my first bag, I'd probably go with Camel.
