Just received my Polene package! Here's what I ordered and my initial thoughts.
1. Numero Un in Trio Black Croc - The bag is smaller in person but I don't mind that. Very thick leather (not buttery but I suspect it might soften over time) and the croc flap is beautiful in an understated way. All of the little details like their name "Polene" on every single piece of gold hardware is incredible. I already want to order another one plus a mini I love it that much.
2. Wallet in Smooth Black Leather - I stalked the website for months waiting for this to restock. Originally I wanted the Numero Un in smooth leather but was told this style was discontinued so I was excited to get the wallet in smooth leather. Its more lightweight than I expected and honestly not sure I would have purchased this if I saw it in person first. I still like it a lot but not as much as the bag. I was expecting the quality and thickness to be more luxurious for almost $200 (makes me think I would have rather put this money towards a Numero Un Mini)
3. Small Grey Pouch - This was bigger than I anticipated, very lightweight as well. The leather and suede on it are okay. I'm pretty happy with this one compared to the wallet though as it was only $35. Also now seeing the suede on it makes me realize I don't want suede on a full size bag.

Overall I am super happy with my Polene purchase and can't wait to see what they release in September!

Do you think the wallet will make a good wallet on a chain?
I really hope they just release a WOC in September

The wallet doesn't currently come with a chain and I think it's a little small to be a WOC if they come out with it in September. Room for cards, coin, cash but I don't think a phone would fit comfortably.

Your bags are all gorgeous!

Would it be possible to fit an iPad in Numero un?
I'm debating between un and trois (mini) as a larger bag for everyday use (I almost only own smaller bags as I love them).

Thank you :).

Thank you! Would you be able to fit a lunchbox and an iPad mini at the same time?
It's seems like (after reading this thread) that it is smaller irl than in pictures, so I'm super thankful for your help. I adore the look of the bag but it need to tick my boxes.

No way on a lunchbox. I'd say a mini iPad plus other items like a wallet, sunglasses, phone, keys etc are fine but a lunchbox itself wouldn't fit. Especially with the opening (which you can undo the snaps) you wouldn't want to force a large item like a lunchbox in. The size of the Numero Un is smaller in real life but comparable to the Celine Micro or LV Alma PM.
