Thank you. I am surprised to see the photos you shared. I hope you can exchange it without any cost. Good luck!
Could you please confirm to me this is the grey and not the "craie" ? I looooove your bag. It looks amazing.Yay my numero uno in grey just arrived today as well!! Great timing as I was having a terrible day lol. I received the lilac card case as my free gift. I echo what everyone else says about the taupe-ness of the grey; I was definitely prepared for it from reading everyone else’s reviews, but it is surprising when seeing those photos of the other grey polene items against it! Although I truly wanted a cooler grey toned bag, I still absolutely adore this color and everything about this bag!! I have to say that unboxing this felt every bit as luxurious as unboxing my first Louis Vuitton bag, and for only $420!! This brand is seriously such a steal, and I’ll definitely be a repeat customer. I was even able to fit my laptop (albeit I have the surface pro which is pretty slim and slender) with the buttons undone (laptop is in it in first pic) and it doesn’t look bulky or feel too heavy at all ! What do you guys think with the twilly look - it was my first time ever tying one but I actually kind of like the asymmetrical look? Now if only I could go take this baby out somewhere
Do some of you who own the Un mini in black find it easier to go from day to night? I would think the color black would lend itself more easily to that kind of transition. I've been debating between black, burgundy, and grey for awhile now and no one color appears to be winning. All three are gorgeous, but I can't justify buying all 3. Not to mention the duty fees that would result. (I'm in the US.) I just received my customized longer strap for the un mini. Now I need the bag!
I have the monochrome in black and the trio in burgundy. I definitely think the black is the best option for day to night, I love mine so much I decided to sell my burgundy one because I’m just not reaching for it anymore.
I have the grey and LOVE the color. I have a lot of other black bags, but the black one looks amazing as well!

Just wanted to let you know that I’m also experiencing some issues with Polene customer service. Like others on this list, it has taken me two attempts to get a real person to respond to me. I’ve ordered probably six times from them previously and have never had any trouble at all, so I think (hope) this is just some confusion during the pandemic.
I ordered two bags in late April. On May 14, they sent me a DHL notice that they were about to be shipped, but then in another email said that one of the bags would be delayed. That’s fine and I eventually got that one on May 20. But there was never any follow up about the second bag. I tried contacting them by email on May 20 but just got an automated reply. The next week I emailed again and got the auto reply but then a person, who basically said I should get it next week. Fingers crossed! I’ll let you guys know if I ever get it. It’s a Nano Un in blue...

Thanks for the information. I also have the Un in burgundy croc so perhaps the black monochrome would be the best option. The grey looks lovely, but I can't seem to get a feel of what the color would be. Some say taupe-y grey while others say light grey. If I get the black, then I know it will be, well, black.
Oh, that does not sound good. Hopefully it will all work out for you!
Thank you so much! it is the grey! It's the Numero Un in "Monochrome Grey". Apparently they use a different grey on that particular bag than some of the other variations. Can definitely confirm it is much more taupe-y than cool grey; really noticed it the other day when carrying it in my car in the sunlight. But I still love the color!
Hi! For your customized strap, were you able to find a way to make it more comfortable? I have the un mini (It’s so beautiful) but it does get heavy rather quickly and I’ve been trying to find a way to make it more comfortable! Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I haven't gotten the bag yet so don't know yet if it will be more comfortable. It is the same style of chain as provided by Polene so I don't think there will be much difference in comfort. I do know that the tpf poster who originally customized her strap was able to customize a half chain/half leather strap from mauto. I'm assuming it was for comfort as the leather part probably hit her on her shoulder. Let me see if I can find her original post...https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/polene-handbags.968366/page-88#post-33742596

As an aside, I had great customer service from mautto if you chose to go that route. Good luck!
Thank you so much! I’ll definitely check that site out! Let us know what you think when you get your new beauty!
