My sept mini in gray came and holy hell is it small. My iPhone 11pro (not max) barely fit. Super cute though so I’m on the fence about returning given that shipping is gonna cost me an arm and a leg :P also that cute little card holder add on was probably a one time thing. Will post pics if anyone is interested!

UPDATE: So my bag actually arrived at work yesterday while I was working from home, so this morning I went to pick it up from my colleagues in the warehouse, took it into a small meeting room to unbox... and all I can say is WOW! I couldn't stop grinning like an idiot, because I'm so impressed with it.

I love the top handle, the crossbody sits perfectly on my frame (I'm 5'6 for reference), not heavy at all and it's not too boxy like the Givenchy Antigona in small (which I sold earlier this year). I think this is a better alternative, to be honest.

This is one of the most underrated bags I've ever seen. It's one of those bags that make you question the concept of luxury bags and why you justified spending so much previously. With all that being said, this bag has now rounded out my collection, so I will not be purchasing any more bags for the foreseeable future.

I was planning to carry a smaller bag tomorrow when I go out, but I'm very tempted to debut this baby!

Please ignore the hideous background...

Posted pics regardless. I did manage to stuff my husband’s 11Pro Max inside with a card case (who only carries one card??) with a compact and concealer instead of lipstick. Probably won’t have room for my stash of keys unless I downsize to my car key and house key. I guess that’s the point of the bag, to only really bring your essentials lol! Beautiful bag and the top handle can actually be detached and hooked to the interior D ring as a key lanyard.

Does it bulge out on the side due to the phone size or is the middle section structurally rounded?

Thank you!!! It looks so cute but yea can't believe how small it is. I wonder if the larger format is more practical.

I went on Polene's instagram and stalked all the mod shots + tagged photos of the regular Sept. While the bigger one looks more practical, it doesn't look like the long strap can be removed which I'm not a big fan of. With the mini at least you can tuck the chain strap into the bag.

You’re selling me on this bag. I love how elegant and sophisticated the numero un is. And from pics I’ve seen it can be worn casually or for work

I have my eyes on the Un and Un mini. Hopefully I can exercise self restraint since I just purchased the numero deux

For many months, I was quite sceptical, thinking it would be trendy and date quickly, but because this brand somewhat flies under the radar compared to the likes of Senreve, I think it does have some lasting power and seems more refined, which is right up my alley!

I decided to carry this bag around today and it was so fun to do. For some reason, I carried it crossbody most of the time and handheld it at certain points, although the bag feels heavier when carried handheld or in the crook of your arm, whereas it felt like a feather when worn crossbody. My friend who I met for brunch complimented me on the bag too. She even mentioned it again when we said our goodbyes.

Which colours do you have your eyes on?

I love the black and red haha. I am more of a black kind of a girl since my wardrobe tends to be darker. It reminds me of Celine and it’s under the radar. I have yet to see a Polene in my city.


Speaking of which-I just got text/email notification that my numero deux has shipped
