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.
Of course! I thought I would help fellow Polene enthusiasts since it's difficult for most of us to try them at the store. I treated my No. 2 with Apple guard since there are suede parts I also like to mention the weight on No. 1 since none of the reviews/YouTube videos mentioned it. Even though No. 1 is the most spacious of all three that I own, it's my least used one due to the heavier weight. But I do use it on the day that I need to carry more.
