So, I just managed to snag a pre-loved burgundy numero un for a steal! It was on Poshmark, I made an offer that the seller (to my surprise) accepted, and then I had some Posh credit plus cashback from my AMEX for shopping on Posh - all together, I paid less than $200! Buyer said they never actually used it, so I feel like I did really well for an essentially new numero un in the color that I wanted. I'm so excited. It is in the suede flap, and while I was torn between the suede and croc when considering buying new, this deal was too good to pass up, so it make the decision easy. I am a bit worried about the suede flap, but I'll just have to make sure to be a bit more careful and to Scotchgaurd it. It should be shipping out tomorrow - I can't wait until it reaches me!
You go girl. That is a heck of a deal! With suede only on the flap, it should be easy to care for. Post photos when you get it. I hope you like it as much as I do mine.
Thanks! I will definitely post photos. I’m very much looking forward to getting it!
can you - or anyone else here who purchased a suede bag - provide a review of how the suede flap holds up? I’m interested in a numero un with a suede flap but afraid of the maintenance. I’m curious if scotch guard will help make it more carefree.
i fell in love so much with my Nano bag that I bought a Mini a couple of months later. I received it today and am in awe of the craftsmanship and quality! I own other high end bags that cost waaaaay more and I feel like Polene’s quality rivals them!
can anyone also tell me if the leather on the Numero Un is similar to the mini? I’m hesitant on purchasing a heavy bag. I’ve read reviews that others find the mini heavy, but I don’t think it is at all. I own an Alexander Wang Rockie bag, which I adore, but it’s really heavy so I don’t use it too much.
I don't actually have the bag yet so I'm afraid I can't comment on the wear and tear of the bag or the suede flap. Hopefully someone else who owns it and has used it awhile can chime in.
I don't have the Numero Un but I do have the Numero Deux in the Croc/Suede combo. When I received the bag, there was a slight scuff in the bottom corner of the bag where it is suede (only the flap/back pocket is leather). I contacted Polène and they said a silk toothbrush would smooth it out a bit which kind of worked but not entirely. I sprayed it with a protectant and so far it's holding up well but I do tend to be more cautious when I'm out and about!
Hi ladies! For those with the Sept., could you post a picture of the interior wide open? I have looked at the dimensions and it seems like an LV desk agenda would fit but I am a visual person and I am having a difficult time picturing whether it would protrude when the flap is closed. Thanks!
Received the Numero un nano in burgundy. Definitely smaller than I thought it would be. It does manage to fit my medium LV Kirigami pouch, iPhone plus and LV key pouch with my keys attached but doubt it would fit much more. It’s not making my heart sing like I thought it would. Maybe I should’ve gone for the regular size
What are you not loving about the Nano? I know quite a few people have really liked the Nano, but for me, the leather was too different from my regular Un. The Nano went to my DD, because it wasn’t worth returning for me.
If you find my post on the Nano, I took comparison pics of the regular Un and the Nano. I can’t recommend the Un enough! It is a gorgeous bag, and fits everyday life and more. Good luck deciding!
