I almost went for the cognac, mainly because I was looking at the mini size and I felt that the cognac shade with the contrast stitching would have made more of a statement. But it is an entirely personal choice and I didn’t buy the cyme mini in the end because I got a different bag instead from a Japanese brand Motherhouse which has a shop locally in my country which I loved after trying the bag
That makes perfect sense and is the main reason I never bought the dix actually, even as much as I do love this latest new forest green shade…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!
Me too. It's a gorgeous green.
I agree with you on all counts. When I unboxed it, I thought it will fit quite a fair bit as it is not really that small but because of the shape, it was a bit restrictive if items are bigger or oddly shaped. I was thinking the textured leather played a part too or maybe because I did not stuff it to the max? I usually like to have more room so that I do not need to take out things before I can access what I need. I'm with you 100% in preferring a bag that fits more despite being small.
Yessss exactly! I really avoid stuffing my bags full because it becomes so uncomfortable to use. I like to easily pull my items and toss them back in without having to arrange everything. So because of that, the Dix was a bag that could truly hold just a few items for me.
That green tho. That green is starting to make me forget it all haha
Right! Crescent shaped bags can be deceptively small
I think they really need a wide base to compensate for the space you lose with the rounded corners, which sadly isn't the case with the Dix. But I really feel you on that greeeeeeeeeeeen making me want to throw caution to the winds LOLI do have 3 mini bags from Polene. A Taupe, Chalk and Blush. So need a larger bag that can easily work year round, work bag and even travel bag or normal tote. I know, I’m asking for a lot. Haha.

I think both camel and cognac could work year round. But I'd vote for cognac given the colors you already have. Everything else you have is a light color, so cognac would give you a darker color option. Then again, going lighter with camel would fit in well with what you have already for a consistent palette. Camel, though, is definitely the more popular color.I do have 3 mini bags from Polene. A Taupe, Chalk and Blush.

I have the Cyme in cognac and I am so loving it. I find the rich deep brown tone elevates the outfits. I love camel but I do think that it is a more casual color. The cognac however can come across as casual, it can also make one look a little more dressed up. So it depends on what you are looking for.
Meanwhile, my conundrum is what color should I get the dix in? Black? Sandalwood? Green? Black and Sandalwood? Black and Green?
Really just need a good, professional but chic work bag that can work year round
Hi, sorry, I just saw your reply! I bought the nano in camel (smooth leather) and the numero un mini in black. I prefer the nano because I like the shape better, and the shoulder strap is much more comfortable than the mini's chain. For dressy events or evenings out, I would use the un mini over the nano! The sept is very pretty too, but I didn't try it on when I was at their store.
Sorry for double post, but the blush came in this morning and I think I will be definitely keeping it! The only thing I noticed is that the gold lettering on the main body of the leather almost looks like it is wearing away a bit, as you can almost see the leather peek through. It's only noticeable if you're looking at it very closely. Has this happened to anyone else?

We share the same preference in terms of accessing our items. In the past, I've rehomed bags that I really like in terms of style but prove too difficult to use. As I carry very little, the Dix works. Or maybe it's the other way round, because I love the green hue, I'm trying to make it work?
It's proving to be quite versatile with my colorful wardrobe though.
Loving the wonderful Christmas vibes I’m getting with this outfit!We share the same preference in terms of accessing our items.
