I have owned three of the Numero Un purses for years now. The large pink pebble, the large burgundy trio, and the nano in the terracotta pebble. They are not full grain leather, but it's a very thick, substantive leather.
The purses are remarkable for the price in every other aspect, a lot of care was put into the details. Custom made hardware in gold tone plated brass, fully lined in a twill cotton material, and my favorite aspect is that the trimmings are finished in the same color as the bag, so many luxury brands at 3x the price use black on the trim, even on their light colored purses.
I've used the burgundy trio the most of my three bags, and it looks exactly the same as it did when I first bought it. If the suede ever gets debris or spills, I use a suede brush and buff it off. It still looks fantastic. My only issue with the pink pebble is remembering that I cannot wear it with jeans or the dye will transfer. Fortunately I don't wear jeans very often. I'm thinking of reselling the mini terracotta. It was a gift, and I've hardly used it... the color doesn't suit me.

How heavy is the original size? I am 5'3 and I have read in some reviews that they are bulky and heavy - i have the beri and it's so small i cant tell based on this. I live in paris but whenever i pass by polene the line is always stupid long and i heard they dont always have stock. Any thoughts on size and weight?
