Polène handbags

Does anybody own the TONCA bag? I think it isn't very popular here on TPF.

I like also the shape of the dix, but the "hanging" straps on both sides I don't like and I think that would bother me. I don't own any POLENE bag until now, but I like some models of them.

Thank you for your answers!

I own a tonca bag too. I think it is a cute little crossbody bag - love its unusual shape .

Thank you very much!

It’s a cute little bag that can fit the same things as the Dix. I love them both, but they each have their own pros and cons. I will talk about it in my review.

I love the little hanging straps on the dix 😅

Did their prices go up recently? I haven't checked the site in a bit and a few bags seem more pricy than I remember

Yup! Got it while I was in Paris. The line was crazy long 🥲 it’s the most spacious bag IMO and it isn’t heavy. I love my Polene bag 😍

Were the prices for polene cheaper in Paris than getting them shipped in the US?

Yup but not a lot. The bag itself was $26 cheaper. This was few months ago before their price increase.

I just checked online, and there’s a $134 difference from US and France website. In Paris u also get the bag tax free, less 8-10% if you’re not from EU. 😳

Hi: does anyone own the full size Sept? I absolutely LOVE the style, but have a few concerns. One- how much can you actually fit in it? Two- how does it lay when you wear it crossbody? I would love it more if you could remove the strap.

I bit the bullet and got them. Always liked the Un design; it was my first favorite Polene design. I spent a lot of time considering bags and the Un in particular, as well as what colors I wanted. Always wanted to expand my bag collection to add a little bit of color, but I had to think about what colors would look good on me and match my wardrobe. I got the burgundy secondhand from someone on poshmark. The seller showed me order confirmation and I just got it today. It looks good to me; no quality issues that I can see.

I also ordered sandalwood brand new from the online store, and it will arrive next week. With this, I will have ordered from Polene before and after their opening of their brick and mortar stores.

Love this side by side comparison! Could you share more pics of the bags under different lightings? Very interested in seeing both (and low key considering adding both to my collection as well 😆)

That is a great idea! However I might have to wait on this because lately I've gotten nothing but gray gloomy skies and bad lighting. The lighting in my house is all yellow too. Let me think about it some more.

When I was considering buying, I also searched endlessly for more pictures to compare the colors. It's honestly quite close. That photo I took is probably the clearest example of the color difference. I would recommend picking one but not both haha!

What color clothes and bags do you tend to wear?

Does anybody know what is going on with the Umi? All colors have been sold out for a while now. Will there be any restocks? I really wanted one but waited too long .

I just visited the New York store and they had them in stock (I actually bought a black Umi). I see that you're based in the EU. Maybe you can call the Paris store and place an order?

Thanks, but I decided not to get the Umi after all. I just bought the Loewe Puzzle bag which has a similar shape.

Is it okay to have 2 of the same bag 😅
