Beautiful! How did you order that adorable card holder? I haven’t seen it on their website.

Lovely! My numero sept came with a cardholder as well. I believe I entered a promo code for it.
It came as a surprise free gift, I didn’t put in a code or anything, it’s really nice quality too.
I was lucky to win an eBay auction on a pre-owned, but excellent condition Numero Un in blue croc, which was exactly the color I coveted. I agree with everything all of you lovely Polene fans have been saying about the quality. It is a superb bag, very beautiful in its design and fantastic in construction, and leather is wonderful (and I am a massive leather snob). With that being said, this bag will end up with my dear TPF bag friend, because she will appreciate it more. This kind of structured bag is just not my jam these days, and as soon as I saw this baggie, I realized it won't get much mileage on my end. Plus, I did find a strap drop a bit too short for my height when worn crossbody - I am just under 5 ft. 9 and my crossbody preference is for the bag proper to begin right at my hip, whereas Numero un ends up around my lower waist (is that even a body part 
?). With a bigger coat on, it rides up in a way that I try to avoid with bags.
Now, how much I wish they'd make a leather strap for Numero Un mini, I think I would very much love to have that one instead!

I now have three of these and I will use it and love it. Thank you TotinScience!!!Eww. On the one hand, at least it's obvious these are fakes . I could tell in seconds that the quality is garbage. Plus the price point of Polene is so good, so what is the point of buying a counterfeit for $50-$100 or whatever when you could buy the real thing for only a few hundred more? Still annoying though lol.
I love the look of the Numero Un, but I feel like it's a little bit too big for me, and I'm definitely concerned with others who have mentioned that it can get heavy. I also love the gold clasp on the Numero Un Mini, but it's so small.
However, I've long admired Polene (I think I heard of the brand first through Instagram or Facebook) - I love the shape and the minimalistic look and clean lines. I'm sorely tempted to get the mini, at least to try out the bag, and even though I used to be strictly against chains, I've started to warm up to them a bit more.

Yeah, that's the reason why I haven't pulled the trigger on the Un. Can't wear it crossbody. If only Polene would release the Numero Un mini in mock croc...I was lucky to win an eBay auction on a pre-owned, but excellent condition Numero Un in blue croc, which was exactly the color I coveted.

Yes!! in mock croc with a leather crossbody strap - I would buy one YESTERDAY
I did find it to be on a heavier side when loaded with my stuff, but not crazily so.
I agree, but the way it carries is not uncomfortable to me.Yes!! in mock croc with a leather crossbody strap - I would buy one YESTERDAY

I am sure someone with one will answer you. I cannot imagine it being too heavy because it is small.
My third Numero Un just arrived. It is preowned and has been used a lot, so it has really softened. However, it still looks absolutely new except for minor wear on the metal feet. I had planned to sell one after receiving this third one, but I am not sure I can part with even one of them. I do like these bags!!!
