My Craie mini neuf has arrived!!
It is really super cute and cozy.
Great quality for the price as always with Polene.
The craie color is darker than I thought. I expected a white but it is actually a very light cool gray. Which means it is less summery than I imagined, but on the other hand it can also be worn in winter!
It is a mini bag so you cannot fit everything in it, but it is sufficient for your essentials if your phone is not on the largest size. I can fit very comfortably: iphone SE, keys, large cardholder, small hand sanitizer, mask, gloves, lip balm. You could add a little more than that I think if you really needed to.
Biggest con is that the opening is a bit small and so it is a bit complicated to get into. It is not a dealbreaker for me however. Also there is no inside pocket, so for me this bag should not be overly stuffed orherwise you’ll never manage to get your things out of it!
The small and the closure on top make it a fairly secure bag IMO.
All in all I am thrilled with this new addition to my collection!
Here are a few modshots if you’re interested. I am 165 cm.

thank you for sharing! It sounds like the bag might be too small for my large iPhone 13 pro max, would you say?
 
Yay, thank you for sharing this! It’s so helpful to see it worn with something other than the shapeless clothes they have the models wear! I love the pairing of this color with the polka dot dress!

Congrats!
LOL, I actually like a lot (not all) of the clothes the models wear and I've often wondered who they're by. Very clean and minimalist, just like their bags!
 
So cute! :love: :love: :love: How do you like the blush color?

Thanks! I like it a lot. It’s a very mauvey sort of pink - looked great with my cream sweater and tan coat today. I suspect I will also wear it with grays and some kinds of blues.

Often I like pairing pale pink with like khaki green, but I’m not sure what tones of green I could pair this with yet.

Yeah, hard pass for me as well. Who needs a bag that tiny?? Makes no sense!
I completely agree. It also loses some aesthetic appeal that small.

How easily can you get your hand in and out when you’re holding items like your wallet?
 
Want to get the neuf, but I can’t decide on a color. I love the chalk but I already have an off white YSL. I wear a lot of black, with some neutrals and prints thrown in occasionally. My current bag collection is quite neutral (lots of LV monogram, black, and off white). I don’t have any colorful medium/large bags.

I *really* wish Polene would make the neuf in lilac or polar, b/c I would be all over those colors. Currently trying to decide between blush (which looks similar to lilac but perhaps a touch more orange?) and fresh almond. Which color would you choose?

Agree about the lilac color!! (or even Heather would look amazing)!! You could always wait and see if they come out with it in Lilac!!

I am in the same boat! I think I will go for the camel color because I don’t have any crossbody bags in that color. A polar color would be amaaaaazing

Right???? I think I’m going to hold off on purchasing the neuf in the hope that they release some new colorways. So many neutrals — they need to do more saturated colors & pastels for this bag b/c the leather looks divine!

I just got the mini in blush - it is a lovely neutral coulour!
