I really really like the shape and style of Nodde but i'm worried that the size seems a little small?
To those that own this bag, or seen this bag, do you think its too small?
Can't stop thinking about it, how i wish they produce it in a slightly bigger size .
Last December, I bought the Nodde in olive color but returned immediately because the zip opening is too small.
Considering that people already complain about the same problem with the zip opening of the original medium size Lady Dior, this Nodde bag is much smaller than the Dior, hence you have a shorter zip opening. I hope this makes sense. It really is very similar to the original Lady Dior’s zip closure.

It was very difficult for me to get things in and out of the bag. It does fit a good amount of items (like some YouTubers had shown). My iPhone max could fit in too. However, it’s tricky to get it out. I believe it could work if you only plan to carry a card case, small phone, car key and house key.
Note that the zipper is quite sharp and it scratches my fingers. I imagine it would scratch our rings too.

In fact I really wanted to keep it because I love the design, the smooth leather and the olive color is beautiful. However, I have learned from my many handbag mistakes, I know I will regret this purchase so I returned without giving it a second thought.

You're probably going to have to try on the bag in person before you can consider buying it. If you don't mind the hassle, you could always order the bag and return it if it doesn't work out for you. I've bought a lot of polene bags and returned a lot too, and I've never run into any issues.
 


Would love to hear everyone's rankings of their favorite and least favorite Polene bags!

I thought about this and I think my top favourite is Dix (smooth cognac) purely because styling wise it goes with everything. Summer dresses, winter coats, you can dress it up, dress it down, it just works with pretty much everything.

In second place I would put Huit (chalk) because it's just so pretty and unique. I'm smitten.

And third would be my Sept (textured black). This was my first Polene bag, I still love it and use it a lot, especially in winter. Love the classic lines, thick strap, wide opening.

If I am to judge the entire polene collection... I don't care about numero un in large - seems too bulky/large for a crossbody/top handle bag. sept mini or huit mini - too small. or nodde - pretty but not my style really. But keep in mind that I have never seen these bags in person.

Hi, can somebody show olive in natural light?

And could anybody who has both show me chalk near damier azur by LV?

That would be so helpful :smile:
I posted this in perhaps the wrong thread - can anybody show me? I guess the chalk is much darker than the white in the DM by LV?
