Is there anything that didn't increase? The full size neuf went up $50 USD and the smaller up $30, I think. Definitely the larger is $50, which is more than 10%. I bought for $420, it's now $470. I think Neuf mini was $390 (?), now it's $420. How much was Sept before? It's now $490.

I'm not impressed with these price increases given the dip in quality in recent months. So far I have not been able to secure an un nano bag without some kind of flaw in the half-moon flap. I just sold one of mine yesterday, right before this increase took effect.
The general margin of the increases is quite huge. Imo, supply chain/covid-related upstream manufacturing increases is not enough to justify this large of an increase, especially when they had already put up their prices in the past year or two...

Polene’s increasing their prices globally starting today? Can anyone confirm it?
Wow, I'm glad I ended up doing another last order (Beri) during December!
Wow! That's a big increase on the Dix bag. I absolutely would not pay $500 for a Polene bag. For me, Polene is a $2XX - $3XX product price point at the most. I guess it was fun while it lasted! 
Yikes. I’ve also seen the price increases and they are substantial. But I guess it’s happened with most other designer (premier or independent) handbag brands.
I do agree with those who think that with Polene, the price increases start to classify these bags in a different bracket, where their most attractive quality would no longer be their affordability for quality equation.
Purchasing these bags now will have to be a more thought out process.
I unfortunately slept on it and didn’t order my Mini Neuf in Taupe when it was $390 with free shipping. Now it’s $440 with shipping. Another $50 is not innocuous. At least not for me.
I was already rethinking my collection and with the price increase (and so many discontinued styles) I will definitely be slowing down my Polene family planning.

I recently posted about returning my mini neuf because of peeling at the seam of the top handle. The bag has reached Polene on 4 Jan but they have yet to ship out my replacement still - it’s been nearly a week.
If it’s still not shipped by tomorrow (beyond a week), I might just say forget it and refund me. The annoying bit though is that I’ve already paid import taxes for the bag.
I too, think that after this mini neuf is settled, I will put a pause on Polene as well.
My numéro sept (Bordeaux) has increased by twenty euros. Not too bad, given the popularity of the bags.
Oh, yikes! I had my eye on the mini Neuf but it looks like I’ll be pausing too.
The Dix was 270€ in 2021 when I purchased mine, now it's 350€. That's a price increase of nearly 30% in 2 years.
Urgh, wait. They did this right before sale season in France. The timing makes this look even worse tbh. On the bags on which they increased by 20% (like the dix) it’s a real shame. They absolutely should have communicated beforehand. They’re about to lose customers.
Most importantly, popular or not, given the quality and customer support issues, they really do not need to be raising prices by even a cent rn.
Oh no, I’m so nervous since I just placed order for some Neuf.
And I just saw some bags that were on pre order for Feb. 17th had changed to Feb. 24! Can anybody confirm if this means Polene pushes it back, or they had reached some quota on the Feb. 17th?

I believe they have FREE SHIPPING again until January 15th. This should help a bit with the price increase.
