It is small however, I was able to fit my iPhone Plus, along with the LV medium kirigami pouch and coin purse with keys attached. There are videos on YouTube for the Nano which may help.
I have been planning to buy the Polene Numero Un Mini (gold chain) as my summer bag. Very confused between the red and blush pink. I am planning a disney trip this summer and originally thought the red would be a great addition to my outfits but it looks a bit too bright in some reviews. Also boyfriend picked the blush pink and now i think that would go with more things than the red.
It’s a tough choice as both are gorgeous. If you are planning on using this at Disney then the pink may show more wear and tear/colour transfer quicker than red would. The pink would definitely go with more outfits, yet the red would be a beautiful eye-catching pop of colour to most outfits. Maybe get the red first to use at Disney and then if u love the bag enough, get the pink later on in the year. I don’t think the red is as bright as you might think.
Can you post some pictures of your red bag in natural light? I think that would help my decision greatly.

Hi! The numero un nano will probably be too short for most people crossbody. I'm 4'11 and the longest setting sits great for me. So keep in mind unless you're really short it may sit high on you crossbody.
thanks for you're help. I'm about 5'5, so probably will be too short for crossbody ):
another question, do you have the nano in the smooth or textured leather? and do you think it's a great leather?
I've never saw a Polène bag in person, but I'm planning to buy one soon, so I'm trying to have as many informations as possible.
if someone bought or have seen the nano size in both leathers and can tell which prefer and why, will be really helpfull too.
The No.1 Nano was my first purchase of Polene in Dec. 2019. I ordered it in the texture leather as I didn't want to worry about scratches on the smooth leather. I have to admit the nano size is smaller than I prefer, but it works for all of my essentials. (phone, small wallet, a mini pouch, key holder, pack of tissue, hand sanitizer). I enjoyed the nano so much that I ordered No. 2. I love using it as a cross body and I particularly love the outside pocket for my phone. Although it is slightly heavier than the No. 1 Nano due to more leather and the double zipper. The smooth leather part of the No.2 did not get scratched easily and I actually wished that I had ordered the No.2 in the all leather version. (The version that I have came with a bit of a chemical smell when I first received it. But it went away after I kept it out in the open for awhile). Then there was the No.1 in the color gray. This color was the one that I had wanted the most and since I always wished that the No.1 nano was bigger, I ordered it after it came back in stock. I was surprised that No. 1 is much heavier than the Nano and it looks a little bulky when I wear it cross body. It looks the nicest when carried hand held.
Overall, I am surprised that I prefer using the No. 1 Nano the most for it's light weight and the leather. The strap fits me just about right wearing it cross body (I am 5'3''). No. 2 is a great option for both shoulder carry and cross body. No. 1 is elegant, but I have to make sure I don't put too much in it as it can get heavy quickly. I think it will be perfect if Polene comes out with an in between size for the No. 1 in the future.
I hope this helps for those of you who are undecided.

The review on leather types and weight of the bags helped a lot, thank you!
Like you, I'm still considering textured leather for everyday use. But it's good to know that smooth leather doesn't scratch as easily.
