New Polène Cyme Mini 😎
I’ve been obsessed with this bag since I saw it but I’ve been so on the fence because 1) the bigger holes in the body and 2) polene’s artificial scarcity has been such an ick factor for me, esp when I tried checking out the shop in Paris. It was a longer line to get into polene than it was Chanel or any of the premier boutiques and at the same time I’ve heard that their quality has dramatically declined. But this bag is so so so so cute and I have never been as obsessed with a raffia bag as I have been with this one.

How do you like the bag? I really want to pull the trigger on this if it comes back into stock!

I don't own this but just came across it online and am obsessed. If I was ever going to buy a raffia bag, I think this would be it!

I actually saw this bag in person at Loewe the other day (went to look at something else) and it's really cool and beautiful, but very big for a "clutch" and would only really be useful with strap IMO.

Hey,
same here! As I saw it, it was love at first sight! :loveeyes:

Wanted a raffia bag for years but I wasn‘t willing to pay Celine or Loewe prices, not to mention ridiculous LV or Prada prices.
On the other hand I didn‘t want a super cheap retail piece either.

So Polène just came right around this summer :coolio:.

It is stunning in person, the holes are not too big IMO. I bought an insert for a bit of organization and more security.
The leather is smooth and beautiful, very nice quality and smell. Every stitch sits perfect!

I can really recommend it and already got lots of compliments with first wear :flowers:

Amazing!! Thank you for the reply. Which organizer did you get? I was thinking similarly!

My mom just texted she ordered the same straw bag below for both of us . . .
Apparently this is popular on social media, which is why she thought of it
Not really my taste, but who knows. I like the Max Mara from @Christofle a lot :)
