I never really gave the Dix a second thought but man, the new wool ones are stuck on my mind! I’m always weak for contrast or multi color designs. I’ve been wanting a shade of brown/light brown bag for a while as I have none currently, something good for spring/summer outfits. hmm decisions, both the Taupe and Camel look lovely!

Hi all!
My first post in this thread, but I have been lurking for a while!
I have the Tonca which I love and my mum is completely enamoured with it, so I decided to buy the Cyme for her. It's on preorder, though, and is stated to "ship on January 20". What are your experiences with their pre-order dates? Are they actually correct, so the bag is sure to ship on there or is there typically a delay?
I don't live close to her, but will be visiting about a week and a half after January 20, so if they typically actually ship at the promised time, there will be no problem! But I am a bit scared I will get stuck with the bag if it does not arrive in time for my visit

I preordered once so far and the bag arrived three days before the promised 'ships by' date. Shipping within Europe is very fast, I can't speak for other locations.Hi all!

I have a decent size handbag collection from a variety of luxury bands (e.g. Hermes, Moynat, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Celine, Gucci, Bottega, Loewe and more), I have to say I am constantly impressed by Polene's quality. Craftsmanship from Hermes/ Moynat is undoubtedly the best out of all brands I own/ tried on, and I experience NO quality issues at all. However I can't say the same for many other high end fashion houses. LV's glazing issues is quite common among certain models but the CS is overall helpful. Whilst Chanel's lambskin/ calfskin is of better quality compared to Caviar, since they machine stitch their bags, integrity of the leather is easily compromised as some spots can be stitched too tight and damaged - in fact two of my classic flap had stitches popping off within the first few uses. I also find the glazing on all of my Loewe bags/ SLGs to be quite sloppy. Although I don't own any Coach bags, I find Polene's quality to be far more superior for both craftsmanship and leather quality. From the few bags that I tried on, Coach's leather felt like cheap and thin. Obviously Polene are not perfect, their craftsmanship is defo not state-of-the-art and there is room for improvement with their QC, but with all things considered, Polene offer the best bang for your buck out of all the brands I came across.
N.B. Second to @nyeredzi, we all have our own evaluation criteria, and I appreciate different opinions

Good luck! I hope it arrives in time and your mum likes it!Thank you! I'm in Europe and received my Tonca in three days or so, so I believe this one will arrive fast as well if they just ship it by the promised date! Sounds like that will happen, so I'll stop worrying
Actually, I see my polene purchases as something fortunate. Now I no longer buy something i haven’t seen in real life and that is saving me a lot money and therefore, having lesser slips on my low-buy!
Been wearing my black Polene Sept a lot and loving it. It really is a winter bag for me, perfect with coats. Can't get Dix out of my mind these days... either the camel wool or dark green one... 
I got that email too. I think (and I could be wrong) that they mean tonight is the cutoff to get the free shipping that will guarantee delivery before Christmas.
I just got in a 7 mini in the midnight blue and have a few insights to offer...
- I preordered; shipping was supposed to be on the 13th and was maybe a day or so late, but it got here within 2 days anyway.
- Colour is pretty true to colour on the website.
- The bag itself is perfect, no wonky stitching or anything.
- DHL charged about $17 in brokerage fees, which wasn't too bad.
- My phone doesn't even come close to fitting, which was to be expected, but is ok since it's usually in my coat pocket anyway.

Hi guys,
i have been planning to get my second Polene's bag this time due to the free shipping promo. Unfortunately the items that i'm eyeing on is on pre-order basis. Will they charge my credit card now or they will charge when they ship my order? Because the pre order shipping is estimated to be on 20 January , about 1 month from now. Should i order now (enjoy the free shipping promo) or wait next month (and pay for the shipping). Anyone have any issue with pre order item?
Second question, i need opinion, my first Polene bag is the Neuf Mini in black, so i always thought of getting the Camel Neuf Mini until i saw the Dix in Camel ( i didn't like Dix before but i changed my mind now). Now i can't stop thinking about it. Neuf is more of my style, coz i like top handle bag. But I don't have anything like Dix ... Would love to hear your opinion. Thank you

I just pre-ordered a few days ago (as by my previous post). They have taken the money out of my account already, but I figured they might as well do it now rather than later - the end result will be the same, just cheaper now because of the free shipping - and thought I might as well take advantage of that. I think it's simply what you're most comfortable with and if you prefer having the money to spend until then
I agree it's poor quality control regardless, but for what it's worth, that was not hand-stitched. Polene does use hand-stitching in places; however, this was not one of them.
I see, do you know when will the 30days return period start ? after we received the product or from our order date?I just pre-ordered a few days ago (as by my previous post).

I don't intend to return but i'm just worried if there is some defect or quality issue ( hope not tho)
