I'm so sorry about your bag. That looks awful :sad: 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. :hugs:
Thank you! It really looks awul in the enlargement of the photo. In reality it is small, of course and inside the bag. Cant' see it with closed flap. But I am afraid, it will get worse while using the bag. I already sent them an e-mail with the photos. I'm curious, how long it will take until they answer and what they suggest. Unfortunately I don't have the brown box that covered the white box any longer. I think, the problem with that leather and the shape in this size is, that it is too thick for that kind of stitching. They should not have "repaired" the too big holes of the stitching like that, but I'm afraid, that this will happen often. People should check their bags!! It is also beginning on the side stiching. Maybe on the textured leather it is not so obvious! Don't know, what I should do - send back and hope another one is better? Ask for a credit? Keep and ask for a discount on another purchase?? But don't know, if I would order another bag. Only my thoughts, if they give me a choice… What would you do?

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 :smile:
Any insight or info appreciated. Thanks, ladies!
@Punkkitten I love, love my Deux in croc! A while back in this thread, I posted some pics and showed what I can fit in the bag, and it’s a lot! I have used it now for a while and still love it. I went to Vegas over Christmas and dragged it all up and down the strip and the Deux did not let me down. You can fit much more in it than you would think and it’s so nice to have the option of crossbody or shoulder. I was switching back and forth all the time depending on my mood. I would definitely recommend the Deux! It’s definitely worth the $.

The nano, though, sounds like others are having some big problems. Mine is holding up OK but it is so tiny that I can’t really fit much in it so it’s been sitting in my closet a lot. I’m also not thrilled with the tangerine color, which is actually more teracotta. My Nano is the textured leather. If you are trying to decide between the two, I’d definitely suggest the Deux over the Un Nano.

Thanks, Doll!!
A friend of mine also made a black croc bag in the same style as te deux (black rectangular) that I've been oogling.
I don't carry a lot in my bags on the daily ( card wallet, pouch w emergency provisions- lip balm, sanitizer, powder, gum my keys a lipstick and sunnies. So I dont think the space would be a terrible issue.
I like that the strap is convertible but I do wish it were REMOVEABLE! I love swapping out straps to give a new look to a bag :biggrin:
Thanks for replying! Definitely adds to the Pros column!

But don't know, if I would order another bag. Only my thoughts, if they give me a choice… What would you do?

First, I wouldn't keep that bag. I could be wrong but it looks like they filled the hole made when the stitch was sewn.There's stress in that area especially if you pull on the front of the bag and I think you will because the opening is so small. I think it will get worse over time. That aside, you shouldn't have to accept a new bag with issues. I would return this bag and request that they pay for the return shipping. It won't be cheap if you have to pay for it. If you're in the EU I think they always do free returns.

Second, I would ask for a replacement if you love the bag and ask for free shipping. You can ask if they can inspect the new one before shipping. I'm not sure if they will or can do that. You can request a discount but I don't think they will agree to it. Personally, I wouldn't keep the one you have even with a discount.

This is just my honest opinion. I would ask for anything you would ultimately be comfortable with and see what they say. Worse case is they say no but I would insist that they pay for the return shipping at a minimum. Be patient with a response. Their response time isn't always the quickest. Let us know how it turns out and good luck!
 
Does anyone know if they will ever restock the Peach Mini? Or is it now discontinued? They sold out of that bag several months ago and now that colour is not even showing up on the website. While Sage sold out after Peach did and Sage is already restocked! Peach is the only colour Mini I'm interested in! :sad:

I share your pain, as I want the peach Numero Six and it isn't being restocked either. :sad:
 
Hi everyone I'm new to this forum. Ive been interested in a polene nano bag but the strap seems too short for me to wear as a crossbody bag. I own a gucci soho bag and the length of the strap is perfect.. i read the measurements on the website but I'm still not convinced of the strap.. Im 5’8” and curvy Please help a sister out for those who own the nano

I think the strap for the nano is shorter than Gucci Soho. I am 5'3'' and I had to adjust the nano strap to the longest setting to wear it over a coat. I prefer my bag to be in the middle of my hip when I wear it cross body. I hope this helps.
