Thanks! I went ahead and purchased the red monochrome numero un Mini. I can’t wait to see what the free gift is.
I’m excited for the free gift as well. I really despise paying for shipping so glad I could finally pull the trigger on this bag.
I have treated myself far too much this year so this may be my last handbag for the year
I’m trying to cutback as well but the online sales have been amazing! The free shipping really made me pull the trigger. I just have one more LV spring release to purchase this week, then I’m done!
Heads up on the free gift from Polene. I also included pictures of my cardholder and small pouch that I purchased from their store in Paris for reference.

Thank you!! I purchased this and will be applying it before I use the bag... which I hope to be able to do someday haha
For those who have Polene numero deux (number two), can you tell me how many pockets it has? I see that it has at least two zippered pockets, but wondering if there are pockets in the front, middle, or back. Would it fit at least the following?
* iphone xs max
* two passports
* portable battery pack + phone charging cable
* hand sanitizer
* sunglasses
as you can probably surmise, I am wondering if it is a good travel bag.
I recently purchased the Coach Cassie (very similar to the Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis) and wondering how big this bag is in comparison. Thanks!
* iphone xs max
* two passports
* portable battery pack + phone charging cable
* hand sanitizer
* sunglasses

The bag has 2 zip compartments. This is the first one. It doesn’t have a pocket in it.
this is the second compartment, which does have a slit pocket-
There is a back pocket but it won’t fit much or you risk leaving it all stretched out
I just tried it out as much as I could for you since I have really downsized what I carry on a day to day basis. I was able to fit two iPhone XS max, two passports with Aspinal of London covers (so not bulky), charging cord, and LV zippy coin purse. I was unable to find my mophie brick powerbank
I was able to play Tetris a bit but I think it could potentially become too heavy and overstuffed

Wow, thank you so much for doing that for me! really appreciate it
That is very helpful to know.I said that I wasn't going to buy the Numero Un, but then I could stop thinking about it. I already own the Deux in black and the quality is amazing so I pulled the trigger and got the Un in moc croc and I have to say I love it. I didn't think it was my style since I prefer bags with clean lines. The moc croc takes this bag up a notch and gives it a very elegant and sophisticated look. The size is perfect not to big and not to small and the leather... buttery... beautiful. It's so different and unique. Two of the best bag purchases I've made in a long time.
Hi, can you fit a decent sized phone into the sept mini? Would be super helpful to know how much it can fit. thank you!!
Hi there! I haven’t had a chance to use this bag yet but I threw my iPhone11 and small wallet in for you to see. Still room for lipstick etc. Hope this helps!
Hey thanks a whole bunch, that’s very kind of you to take the time
Good to know, now I can go off and get one w confidence, my bottom line for any bag is to be able fit my phone in hahaI'm checking in as I wrote a few months (!) ago about working with Mautto to figure out a combination chain and leather strap that would work with the Numero Un Mini. I'd been dying for a Numero Un Mini for ages, but I am not a chain strap person at all, so I knew going in that this would be an experiment. I couldn't see myself wearing this bag only having a chain strap option.
I received my black Numero Un Mini from Polène in December, and after exchanging some emails, Mautto got to work on a custom strap for me. The first version didn't work so well (but I knew this was an experiment!) - there is a link connecting the t-bar which secures the chain to the bag, and the connector link they originally used was too big. It did not allow the t-bar to fit through the grommet. Additionally, the chain I originally chose was too wide to slide easily through the grommets on the bag. The Mautto rep and I exchanged emails, I provided photos showing the issues I encountered, and we hit on a formula that so far has worked very, very well. They made adjustments to the strap, and I'm very happy with the result.
The strap I got was made with the following specs. I am 5' 6" with long torso, and the bag falls at my hip when I wear it crossbody, and it falls a bit lower when I wear it as a shoulder bag:
50 inch total length strap, 38 inch length, 1/2 inch wide, black leather section
Mini Classy Curb chain (gold) - 1/4 inch width (important, as wider chain is too wide)
17 mm t-bars on ends
Note: use extra small connection ring to t-bars
The strap has six inches of chain on each end with 38 inches of leather in the middle. The Mautto rep said that they wouldn't be able to make the leather part adjustable, as it would make it likely that the adjustable section would dig into the shoulder or back. I had been quite nervous about the 17 mm t-bars, as the original Numero Un Mini chain strap has bigger t-bars. The t-bars have to fit through holes / grommets that are exactly one centimeter in diameter. The Mautto rep felt that going with a bigger t-bar would make it difficult for the t-bars to fit through the grommets.
I received the replacement strap right before our state began shelter-in-place, but I had a few days to wear the bag with the new strap. It wears beautifully, and even when I pack the bag full, the t-bars stay in place. I love the look and the feel of the strap. Mautto charged me $68, and I paid a small additional fee when they reworked the strap, which I felt was more than fair. I would definitely order another strap from them in the future. Pics are below. Other leather colors are available, and I would recommend ordering a swatch if you're trying to match a specific color: https://www.mautto.com/product/leat...or-packs-suede-webbing-samples-also-available
