Reporting back since I've used my black textured Nano a fair amount for everything since I received it before Christmas. Very happy that the textured leather is extremely durable so far - I don't have to be careful where I leave it (i.e. on the ground or casually thrown onto the couch), I've gotten caught in the rain with it, spilled a matcha drink on it, and my dog might even have scratched it accidentally, and you cannot even tell. If you don't like to baby your bags, I highly recommend the textured leather! I'm very impressed with it so far.

Now I must say, that the inside buttons that make the shape press against the flap when closed and you can see that. Maybe that would be not so obvious on the textured version

^ You cannot see this on the textured leather version.

I think my only gripe is that fiddling with the closure can be a bit annoying if I stuff my bag with more items than usual. It doesn't seem like the textured leather will show much wear on the closure over time though.

I'd be curious to hear a review on durability for the smooth leather bag.

I got my Polene Un Nano in burgundy in today's mail and would like to show it to you! To be honest I thought, it would be bigger, although I knew the measurements. It really is tiny but cute and can hold quite a lot of things. It can fit my essentials for going out for dinner, or theatre. For daily use it is much to small for me, but this was clear. It was hard to decide between the textured and the smooth leather. I took the smooth version, because it looked better on the photos, in my opinion. Now I must say, that the inside buttons that make the shape press against the flap when closed and you can see that. Maybe that would be not so obvious on the textured version. In general I have to say, that I am much more in love with the big grained Polene Numero Un. But I like the cute look and will use her in the next days, then I will see how good this purchase was! I show you also a picture of what fits inside and a comparison between the two sizes. Thanks or letting me share and I hope the info and photos are useful to somebody!View attachment 4628844 View attachment 4628845 View attachment 4628847 View attachment 4628848

It is tiny but it is really pretty.

Thank you so much for checking on the weight of the Un Mini with and without the chain. I am probably going to order the Un Mini soon, and once i receive it, I will work with Mautto on my leather strap order. I will definitely keep you posted!

@anneclaire127 Did you end up ordering a leather strap from Mautto for your Un Mini?

Hi, everyone:
I was just wondering if any of you have experienced different shipping charges when you order more than one item from Polene? It showed $25 DHL when I only have one item in the shopping cart, but then it changes to $40 DHL when I added a wallet into the cart.
Thanks for your input.

Yes! And it's supposed to arrive soon. I will post when I receive it with all the details

FLAWS on my Polene Un Nano in burgundy!!!!! I only used this bag once and noticed the flaws like shown in the pictures. It looks like glue and some red material put above, this is not leather! My black big Polene has nothing like that. Looks awful and like a repair of too big stiching holes!!! Has anybody of you noticed something like that? What would you do? I think I will send an E-Mail to Polene with the pictures. I am so disappointed .

I would definitely contact Polene and send them the pictures. That definitely looks like a flaw/errors in craftsmanship and would be unacceptable to me.

I have been doing a bit of drooling over your Numero Deux with the Croc embossing. How do you like the bag? Worth the money? what is the quality like? I don't "need" another bag, but am very drawn to this style and I love the combo of textures/leathers. Also been eyeballing the Un Nano, however the reviews are so mixed and truthfully, the deux is a bit more in vein with the style I tend to carry - squares and rectangles
Any insight or info appreciated. Thanks, ladies!

Finally had a chance to take this one out and I love it! Fits enough for errands and even can handle my inhaler, which is an awkward sized item. ❤️ ❤️ I do wish the strap was a little longer for xbody wear but I am large busted, so I usually have that problem with any bag. YMMV.

I'm massively lusting after this bag
And also a random question, does your user name have anything to do with the Social Distortion song?

I highly recommend this bag! And yes, my username is based on the SxDx song. You’re the first to catch that. Bravo!

I love Social D!! I've seen them multiple times. And have a massive crush on Mike Ness.
Thank you for the Polene endorsement. I love how wicked and classic it looks.

I'm so sorry about your bag. That looks awful I agree with the other poster that you should send an email and include the photos. I wouldn't accept that either. I hope they take care of you.

Well I have to change my opinion on the Nano in the smooth leather. There seems to be a coating the leather but I think that's to help the bag to keep it's shape. And I think it will reduce the risk of scratches but it will definitely scratch easier than the textured. She really is gorgeous. I kept pulling her out of the box and repacking. I finally realized my issue was with the strap. The length of the strap was a deal breaker for me. It was too short to be comfortable as a crossbody on me. With that being said, I shipped it back. Hopefully they will receive Monday.

Hi I have a question about the trio sable. How dirty does it get? I am obsessed with it, but scared to pull the trigger because of the light leather. Does anyone have experience with it?
