I think it's a beautiful bag, but the cons would definitely outweigh the pros for me. Beauty is important, but so is function and ease and comfort of use. I appreciate your detailed, thorough videos. Thank you!
Thanks for the review. The styles are so pretty but I never liked the fact that to keep the beautiful shape you have to fumble with the closure and keep the snaps closed which seems reduces the opening of the bag making it too cumbersome to use.
Thanks for doing the detailed reviews on all the Polene bags! I've noted all the different elements that I like from each bag and narrow down to style & color I'll be getting next...the numero neuf mini in chalk! 😆
This is a great review. I ordered some bags from Polène, they look amazing, better than a lot of designer brands, but unfortunately the colours on the website are not that acurated, and I had to send the bags back, what is not cheap. But I still have hope to get the right bag in the right colour. 😊
I’m glad you enjoyed the review. Curious, which colors did you order that appeared different in person? I’ve been eyeing some other colors myself and have wondered if my computer screen is showing the colors accurately. I think it’s quite tricky when we aren’t able to see these bags in person, right? I did hear that Polene is opening up a brick & mortar store in NYC so I’m excited about that.
@@hellocatwalkcity I ordered the number One Mini on chalk and one in grey, plus the number Nine in taupe... all of them really beautiful. The chalk one was the prettiest one, I would definetly buy someday. But the chalk is like a "grey white" and I needed a white bag. The grey is more like a "darker taupe" than the brand taupe colour itself. 😅
@@iumynaeuropa Oh yes… the chalk has grey undertones you’re right. Hard to tell until you really compare it next to white. Good to know about the taupe as well! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for such a detailed review! Love the chain options you showed- don't know why I never thought of these tricks. This is something I will definitely be playing around with the next time I use this bag. Looking forward to the numero un nano review! I've been eyeing that one for a while but haven't pulled the trigger yet
Funny that i never thought of the vertical bag pulling the weight down. This makes total sense why I find some of my bags uncomfortable to carry. They're all vertical!
Great detailed review :) One question - does the chain dig into your arm much if the bag is stuffed? Is it comfortable to wear? Cause the chain doesn't have the leather part as most bags nowadays...
Very helpful review! A comparison between both numero uns would be great. Thanks for doing this review. I too am not a fan of all chain straps because I don't like how they feel on the body and I wasn't sure if this may be different on this bag but thanks for sharing that it's not. Xx
I just love all your videos! The only thing I would take a different approach on is, when talking about quality and craftsmanship, I would go deeper into the specs. For example, I agree with the great value for money from Polene, but there leather is a very thin coat of leather on top of a smoochy material, so actual there is a lot less leather and it can get damaged more easily. This will also have an impact on how the bag ages. I find most people just judge on how something looks (stitching, grain,…) but it’s also important to think about how the bag is made: how is the leather tanned, is the leather a thin coat or a full leather, is it glued or pressed,… Not saying this as criticism, but I would love to see more approaches like this 😃
Amazing - I really appreciate constructive feedback like this! 👌 I will be mindful of going deeper into the quality and craftsmanship details as I continue to learn.
I had this bag. Loved the leather, and quality. It’s amazing! But that chain strap was a killer on my shoulder. And I’m 5’10, so I’m not a tiny girl. I also had the Number one. That, I just found impracticable. It was a pain in the butt while opening and closing while shopping. So I’m sad to say I sold them both. I still have the Number nine. I do feel the top handle is a bit in the way, while trying to get in and out of this bag, but it’s not as annoying as the Number one, and the Number one mini. Hopefully I’ll find one that’s very functional. The leather, craftsmanship on these bags are amazing!
great review 💚 i love your videos bc you’re to the point. i have been window shopping their website. this bag, although adorable would get on my nerves bc of the difficultly in opening/closing, so thanks for this detailed review! do you know if they update colors? the only pink-like color i see is blush which looks very mauve to me & i don’t look good in mauve :(
They do introduce new colors from time to time so if you don’t find the exact shade you’re looking for, maybe wait a few months and see if they come out with new ones!
i think i want the mini size for the numero un however i'd prefer the leather strap over the chain. do you know whether there is an option where i can choose strap instead of chain?
Now it’s $410…so $50 price increase! No discount codes? They really should update the chain strap with a leather piece, which allows for comfortability. They need to make a couple of minor configurations to the Numero Un mini and the Numero Neuf as well. When do they normally have sales/promotions? Thanks!
I completely agree - a leather break would make this so much more wearable! The chain is not as comfortable. I’ve never seen Polene go on sale actually and unfortunately they did not offer me a promo code to share with my viewers. I wish.
This review is spot on! The chain does really cuts in my shoulder and for that Reading I also do not wear it anymore.
Yes please do a comparaison/ review of the nano 🥰
YES! Please do a review on the Nano!!
I think it's a beautiful bag, but the cons would definitely outweigh the pros for me. Beauty is important, but so is function and ease and comfort of use. I appreciate your detailed, thorough videos. Thank you!
Absolutely!
Yes please share the nano review!
Been waiting for it! I like the mini but I prefer the nano’s strap - not a fan of chains!
Thanks for the review. The styles are so pretty but I never liked the fact that to keep the beautiful shape you have to fumble with the closure and keep the snaps closed which seems reduces the opening of the bag making it too cumbersome to use.
The color, leather quality, texture, and chain all reminds me of coach Cassie white purse!
Thanks for doing the detailed reviews on all the Polene bags! I've noted all the different elements that I like from each bag and narrow down to style & color I'll be getting next...the numero neuf mini in chalk! 😆
Great choice! 👍
I'm so intrigued by this bag, really looking forward to this review! Thank you Hanna 🥰
Thank you for the tip on adjusting the chain!
That Neuf Mini is GORGEOUS!

Thanks for another great in depth review. I look forward to the nano numero un review as I'm eyeing this bag for a long time... =)
Funny that i never thought of the vertical bag pulling the weight down. This makes total sense why I find some of my bags uncomfortable to carry. They're all vertical!
Thank you for weighing the bag. I really dislike heavy bags, and it’s really useful for me to know the bag’s weight!
The colour of this bag is stunning and the shape is so cute! Thanks for the detailed review xx

Another great review. Really like the Polene bags you have!
Thank you for this comprehensive review! Yes, please do one on the Un Nano! TFS!🤗
Appreciate your thorough review especially the part that your iphone pro max will fir at the back pocket. Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
I purchased the Sept wallet on strap in chalk and she loves it!
Ooh I was eyeing that one!!
If they would make a leather strap alternative for this bag it would be a winner!!
Yes please review the nano size 😍
That’s the one I purchased in Paris, but have yet to use it, maybe this week
I like that bag, I was looking at it a few weeks ago it's reasonably priced and very different
I agree - it’s very reasonably priced and the design is so unique.
Great review- love and appreciate all the details
Thank You
My pleasure! I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
Love the versatility of the bag, but can't wear chain straps as well... personally need padding. Plus don't live bucket bags of the opening

Thank you for sharing your experience! Would you consider the Numero Sept? I find it to be such a beautiful bag with its structured design.
You can buy straps. You don’t have to keep using the chain
Hi did u experience color transfer with the un mini? Me too sold my un (nano). Too much hassle and it squeaked; really put ke off LOL.
No color transfer for me

Is chalk a limited edition color? I can’t seem to find it in the website.
Hi did u experience color transfer with the un mini?
No I didn’t, but to be fair, I didn’t it wear it all that much and I never wear my light colored bags with dark or new denims. Hope this helps!
I saw the giveaway video. It’s OK, thank u so much!
The new change into twilled lining 100% cotton for bag inside makes the bag look 2 times cheaper. Disappointed with the updates
I used to have this bag and sold it cause the chain strap digs into my shoulder.
Hi did you experience color transfer from clothes to the bag?
I'm a supplier. Do you want to cooperate?
