I stalked all of these Polene posts when trying to decide which color numero un nano to purchase. My camel just came in and I have to say a little part of me wishes I went with the textured instead. I’m nervous she will scratch easily but it is a beautiful bag!

The bag is gorgeous. Use it and let it get a few marks. I bet you have a few on you as well. Our marks and scars tell our stories.

Just got my sage Numero Un Nano! It’s so pretty! It has smooth leather, which could get scratched, but as you say @southernbelle43 , any scratches it gets will give it character.

Yes it will. I bought a lovely Cesaire bag and the first time out got a gouge on it about ¼" long and deep. I worried about it for about 10" and forgot about it. Now I don't even notice it and I can assure you NO ONE in the world is going to examine my bag when I am out and see that mark.

You’re right—it does look brighter on their website than it does in real life, at least when indoors. Not sure if their colors are different because they shot their images outside. The sage is indeed more muted than online and not quite the color I expected but I still like it! I also had bought the tangerine Nano a few months ago expecting it to be on the pink side but it turned out to be more of a dark orange or terra-cotta. I wound up selling that one, but I will keep the sage. I love greens, even strange ones!

It's still very pretty! Maybe it's one of those colors that look different in different lightings! Thank you for posting your bags picture! I am still undecided even though I do really like it!

I couldn't resist and just bought the numero un nano in black, textured leather. I chose the delivery option where I will get a free gift as a thank you since a free gift is the cherry on top to free shipping. I chose the nano versus the mini because I think this will be the perfect bag for casual days at work and for ripping and running during the weekends

I was in Paris early last month but didn’t know the existence of Polene until someone pointed it out and was obsessed ever since! Absolutely sad that I didn’t manage to visit their store. Took the plunge and buy online after a week long dilemma between the numero un original and nano, happy to share that even during this period it took less than a week to arrive for international shipping.

So smitten with the design that I might just buy the original size, especially since shipping is still free & there’s a free gift!

Tried a different look with the bag by tying my Hermes twilly. What do you think?


P.s: someone highlighted about the suede being close shaven to the hide and now i understand what it meant. I have LK Bennett Ella suede clutch where you can “comb” or smoothen the suede with your hand to one direction but with Polene you can’t really do that since the suede is short. Like some of the feedback that I came across, it may pile up overtime (though I could be wrong - will provide more update after couple of months).

To those of you who have the Numero Sept, how does it feel to wear? Does it bang against your hip in a weird way? I have three Polene bags (Un in Trio Vert, Deux on black mock croc, and Six in terre de sienne). I love them all, but am wondering how comfortable the Sept is with its wide bottom and narrower top. I've never had a bag in that particular shape. I will not be wearing it cross-body, only as a shoulder bag.
Note: this all came about because I was notified Friday that LV had a Dauphine MM in stock. I like that bag a lot (similar shape to the Numero Sept) and it is quite hard to get, but have read about so many quality issues that I'm reluctant to do an online order that costs 2500. All my other LV purchases have been in the boutique. And for roughly one third the price of the Dauphine, I could get the Numero Sept and another Numero Un...
Anyway, thanks!! Stay safe and healthy!
