Been carrying my Polene Un Nano the last two weeks. (One more price increase and Polene won't qualify for this thread anymore!)
Same! I was going to wait to purchase until I got to Paris, but I pulled the trigger here in California and ordered one online and I've been enjoying it ever since. Now I may have to buy more Polene when I get there. (I was hoping to only justify a Paris splurge at Dior, where the prices are truly insane but at least there's a VAT savings.)

I was in Strasbourg, France, on Saturday and discovered a new brand (well, new to me) that makes beautiful belts, bags, SLGs etc. All the products are made in France. The quality was excellent and the prices were extremely reasonable.

I bought this handsome leather and fabric tote with long handles. There were several different leather color options available and you could choose long or short handles (detachable). It has a large outside zipped pocket as well as an interior pocket. It's lightweight but sturdy and can easily hold a laptop and related peripherals. Price: about $200
