Sorry for the poor photo quality, the lighting is really yellow and these photos don’t do justice to this beautiful bag
Oh I am so jealous of your numero tres! I wanted that bag so much, but it was discontinued before I discovered Polene. If you even decide you don't want it, you know how to reach me!

Love your Polene collection! You are lucky to have gotten the Numero Trois since they have since stopped making it!

I wasn’t really into the Numero Sept but your photos are making me reconsider! Especially as I wanted the Numero Un in smooth black leather which has been out of stock forever but seeing it on the Sept has me wanting it now. Plus I have a little Polene wallet that would match it perfectly :). Thanks again for sharing!

Thank you for sharing! It looks beautifully finished, how do you find the size? I personally worry it may be too small for me...

I’m still getting used to it. It’s definitely one of my smaller bags. I needed to downsize my wallet, pouch, etc. But I wanted a smaller black bag, so I can’t complain.

With a bit of organizing I can fit everything I need - phone, small wallet, slim sunglasses case, gum&tissue, lipstick/compact powder/travel hand cream. If I take out the sunglasses case, I would be able to fit a small make-up pouch.

The inner pocket is a bit difficult to use. It’s made of suede and it’s very narrow. It can’t fit my phone so I ended up putting my wallet (11cm x 9cm x 3cm).

As for the metal clasp - it feels a bit delicate, but it could be just me as I’m more used to zippers. Anyhow, it’s easy to use - I was able to open/close it with one hand.

The leather strap is wide and really comfortable. When I wear it crossbody, the bag really “sits” comfortably on my body, albeit a bit high (for reference I’m 174 cm, IT size 42/UK size 10). It doesn’t slide, move or stick out.

The bag holds it’s shape and smells devine. The leather is thick and very smooth. I’m a little worried about scratches so I’ll probably baby it for a while.

So far I’m really happy with the Numero sept.

Numero trois mini is my most used bag. I don’t think I’ll ever want to part with it....
It’s really a shame they discontinued it. I wanted to get the green one too, but it was never in stock and than it just disappeared.

That's great to hear except the strap drop part. (I'm 5'8" :sad:.)

I'm in the US and have yet to receive it or even get a shipping notice. Has anyone in the US received their Numero Sept yet?

I wish I had bought it the first time I saw it. She who hesitates is lost, as they say. Guess i called it the tres, Spanish....lol.

Thank you for the detailed review, much appreciated! It can be so tricky to make an online purchase, your description is very helpful. Whilst I love the shape of the new bag, I really need to think if it is really worth a suitable option for me as I am lost without my agenda. Uhm, more to think!

I didn’t get the shipping notice either...but the bag came
It was shipped on October 18th, as they said, directly from Spain.
I think they’re a bit overwhelmed with the orders.

Did it come DHL all the way or was it transferred to USPS. I ask because mine was supposed to be here today and I havent seen it. At one point, i clicked on a link and it sent me to USPS and said “nofurther tracking available”. Im goi g away for 3 days so Im a bit concerned.

Sorry, I can’t help with that...I’m not in the US. I’m in Europe.

I just recieved a shipping notice on my Numero Sept to be delivered on Monday from DHL. I am in the US. I am anxiously awaiting! I love the look and style of this bag. It's beautiful!
 
Well, after parting with my black Celine nano and another black bag I felt I really wanted to give Polene a try and see if I felt the same way so I ordered the Numero Uno in black snakeskin! It arrived yesterday and I couldn’t be happier! The presentation of the white box was a class act. I couldn’t wait to unveil her! Once I did I was enamored. The size on my 5’3” frame is perfect! I personally need both a hand strap and a crossbody which it has. The opening is quite unique with the snaps but truly works giving you a lot of unexpected room for a medium sized bag. The combination of the smooth, grained and snakeskin leathers is to die for. I originally wanted the smooth leather but was afraid there might not be enough wow factor but personally I love how they do their smooth leather so that will be next! There I go, already breaking my single bag of any brand rule. That’s how pretty it is because also think the bag will look totally different in a light color! No sense in mentioning the price because it’s almost ludicrous, right??!!! $430 USD Normally I do not like when the long strap attaches on the back of the bag. But Whatever they did, it works! The bag hangs beautifully. If I HAD to have any “cons” it might be that the leather is a little stiff and maybe someone can tell me how theirs has worn but all in all Im looking forward to my next purchase and hey, Christmas is just around the corner! Thank you for a beautiful creation Polene family!
