I just bought the black mini with the suede contrast, as well as the no. 6 in burgundy croc.

mI’m excited for it to get here. I keep seeing prices rise on this bag so figure I’d get in before theyve gone way up, like other indie bags.

My all time favorite bag is the Celine backpack and this reminded me of it.

my concern is I’m 5’3” and slim and I hate when a bag goes under my hip. I’ve seen girls 54” model them and they seem to look good.
I’ll let you shorties know when it arrives. :).
 
I'm currently saving up for a polene no. 1, but I have the hardest time deciding on a colorway.
I love the trio sand/sable but I'm terrified of the suede, especially colour transfer on the suede pocket at the bag.
Colourways I like are:
The green croc
The burgundy croc
The monochrome red
The monochrome burgundy
The peach
The pink.
I wear a lot of reds, navy but I also have a fair bit of light to medium pinks in my wardrobe, so I find it really hard to pick what matches with that the most. Help.

It’s not on your list, but I would think a cognac or warm brown would match your wardrobe colors the best. The other possibility would be gray, which is especially lovely with pink.
 
For anyone wondering if they are to restock Numero Deux:

"Dear Madam,
Thank you for your message.

We are deeply sorry but we do plan to restock our Number Two but we unfortunately do not have an exact date to communicate yet.

We remain at your disposal for more information.

Have a lovely day,
Polène"

Yay! I hope restocking won't come with a price increase
 
I just bought a black Polene numero uno bag and it is SO beautiful! I really love that it can fit a water bottle, and that it has feet so it can stand up on its own on the floor/table and keep its structure. It also got wet in the rain and it was able to withstand that. It is really sturdy. It is a bit heavy and it is a little hard to snap the closure into place if not lined up... so those are the only downsides I can think of and they are pretty minor. It is such a beautiful and practical bag.

I am using my black Numero Un today and I agree it is a great bag. I love the unique style of it and most of all how sturdy it is. It is virtually indestructible which is such a pleasure. So many of my other bags require that I be very careful with them or at least somewhat careful with them. This bag is like iron. I have not used my tri color camel one very much yet. It seems more dressy than the black one. But i love the thought of having it in my closet for dressier occasions. Enjoy your bag.

I have to admit it is heavy. But i rarely carry my bags for any length of time during my daily activities, ( I am retired) so it works great for me.

Yes you are right it, definitely wears like iron. It is so worry-free to have a hard wearing bag when out and about - then you can focus on just having fun, put the bag on the floor at the restaurant if there isn't an extra chair, etc.
Oooh I just looked up your colour and it looks lovely.

I am quite petite and another thing I like is the bag is very streamlined and not too bulky/overpowering

Does anybody own the Numero Un in Monochrome Gris (Grey) that they could share photos of? https://eng.polene-paris.com/products/numero-un-monochrome-gris

I'm in need of a grey bag and debating if I should get the Numero Un Mini in grey or burgundy and then the opposite color in the Numero Un. I think the burgundy against the gold in the mini is so striking (https://eng.polene-paris.com/products/numero-un-mini-monochrome-bordeaux) and that grey in the larger bag would be better to use year-round? I don't love "icy" greys if that makes sense but don't like it if it's too brown either, so trying to get a feel for this color from anybody that owns it in real life!

Side note I already own the Numero Un in Black Croc and obviously am obsessed with it, hence why I want 2 more :).
 
Hi ladies, I'm considering getting a Numero Un and tossing up between the:

- Monochrome Black; or
- Trio Black Croc

Which do you recommend getting? I will be using this bag almost every day, especially for work and possibly travel.

Trio Black Croc. That is the one I have and it is beautiful. The contrast between the croc flap and the pebbled leather really makes the bag pop. Normally I would have gone for the monochrome black but I own so many black pebbled leather bags that I needed something different in my collection. Honestly you can't go wrong with either but I don't regret my decision on the Trio croc one bit! Next up for me is the Monochrome grey in the Numero Un and burgundy in the mini.
