Polène handbags

[Punkey]

I have been waiting for Polene to create a "mini version". The mini one with the gold strap was not my thing but the nano is sooo beautiful. I can't decided which colour though.
I am looking for a bag that is more for summer and goes with a lot of things.
My first favourite was the tangerine. It looks almost pink and I love that but someone here said that this is not what it looks like in real life. Which colour would you go for?

The camel is perfect for summer and overall a great neutral!
The burgundy is a winner too but maybe less so than the camel for summer wear.

Hey all! How do you clean your polene bags? I bought a numero un used (yay finally, i was hunting for it for months.) It has very slight discolorations that I would like to clean off. I am in the UK if that helps. Not sure what is available here.

Leather Master cleaner available on Amazon.

The tangerine. It is stunning! It is also a much, much less common color than camel or burgundy. And it is a wonderful summer color. I hope they will make Number 6 in tangerine soon!

I got my Polene bag finally! It is so beautiful and the quality is up there with Celine IMO. I decided to just go for the Numero Un first and I’m thinking of ordering the mini next. My only complaint is that the strap seems...very short for crossbody wear. I’m 5’7 and it sits about two inches higher than I’d prefer. Does anyone else have this issue? I’d like to get the mini as the quality is SO GOOD but the strap is shorter according to the website :/

The style and color look great on you.

Thank you!

New Numero Sept and Numero Sept mini in textured leathers on their website, about $100 cheaper than the smooth leather version. It looks like these are textured and not grained pebbled leather though (like the ones on the Numero Un and Numero Un Mini). The Numero Un Nano is the only other one I’ve seen with the textured leather.

And they have it in bluuuuueee. Although I do wish they had blue in the smooth leather instead.

Anybody on this thread from Canada? I'm considering buying the new Numero Sept in textured leather, but I want to know if any of you were charged duties/additional taxes on arrival? Thanks in advance!

Hi! I'm from Canada and yes, you will get charged duties. I ordered four times from them and all four had duty charges. They also do not charge you tax at the time of payment so tax will be included in the duty charges

Not sure how to add on to this, but I just measured my Numero Un strap on it’s longest setting and it was 109 cm. The website says 120 cm, is this a defect or normal?

The 120 cm is likely a reference to the length of the entire strap whereas your measurement of 109 cm on the longest setting is the strap drop (length from middle of the strap on shoulder to the bag).

I took off one end of the strap and measured it end to end and it was 109 cm.

Thanks for the info! Do you mind if I ask if it was a lot, or if it was literally just about the amount of tax you would have been charged for the bag if it was a local purchase?

No problem! Hmm if I compare it to the Numero Un which was $420 USD + $25 USD shipping so $445 USD was charged with no tax initially. Then I got a DHL notice that I owed about $152 CAD in tax/duties for that purchase so I would say yours would be roughly the same or a little less...

I would also suggest you sign up for text updates since I received a text notice about the DHL duties/taxes so I paid it right away and my order was processed a little quicker!
