Thinking of getting a POLÉNE bag? Let me tell you what I have! If you click the name of the bag, it will direct you to the POLÉNE website for each bag.
In disclosure, I received these bags as press gifts and am under no obligation to post about it. But because I am so satisfied with their bags overall, I thought I should share my honest review!
Numéro Neuf Mini & Micro in Black & Chalk
Mini +) 9 colors available
Micro +) 4 colors available
I couldn't decide what size to get so I got both, why not?! This Nueméro Neuf was my second POLÉNE bag and I couldn't resist it. Loved how it was shaped, the leather, and the size of it! Let me be honest though, the opening of this bag is a little small so you might need a little patience to take things out. Micro bag, you would be able to fit your keys and maybe your dog's poop bags!lol But whenever I take these babies out, I get so many compliments! I would say it is one of the iconic POLÉNE bags, so it is a must-have! I do have two colors already---black and chalk in mini size.

Cyme Mini in Taupe
+) 4 colors available / Charm is sold separately
You can actually put a lot of things in this Cyme Mini bag, although it is considered as a "mini" bag. I gotta tell you, this is the bag I use the MOST out of all my POLÉNE bags, it is definitely one of my favorites! It is a perfect size for a daily bag and my mom has been eyeing this bag...and I think she'll steal it from me soon..haha.
This bag can be folded into a smaller bag. Click the link below to see how it looks!
Ilo in black
+) 4 colors available
Summer Collection ‘23 Canvas Tote, ILO---a must-have for the summer! I've been looking for a big summer bag and POLÉNE released it this year! I love how sturdy and spacious the bag is and it literally goes with any summer outfits! I just love how the unique leather loops frame the bag’s canvas body, and those loops hold the fabric in place, which is why I love this tote bag.
I am thinking of getting another color next year because I have been using it a lot this summer... I know I wouldn't mind having two ILO bags.
Numéro Sept Mini
+) 11 colors available
The color that I have is no long available, this is Trio Green Crocodile and I've been wanting this since I saw it. It was "SOLD OUT" whenever I checked online... But I was lucky enough to find one when I visited the store in Paris!
There is an interior pocket that you could put your ID, credit card or lipstick into if you don’t feel like carrying a wallet or a pouch. The only downside of this bag is that you cannot remove the strap. Mini size comes with a gold strap, and I would have to just put the strap inside the bag, which takes up the space.
Numéro Huit Mini in Camel
+) 6 colors available / Charm is from Hermès.
I don't own many bucket bags---only this POLÉNE and one from Louis Vuitton. I'm not a huge fan of bucket bags, but I use this more often than my LV Noé BB because the shape is just too cute to resist! I thought about getting this bag in Blush color, which would've been more feminine... I realized as I was writing this blog post that all my POLÉNE bags are mini sizes. Although they are all mini sizes, I would say this and Cyme are the most spacious ones. If you are a bucket bag lover and looking for a new bag, I would highly recommend it--you won't regret!!
Numéro Un Nano in Green
+) 17 colors available
Numéro Un means Number One in French and it comes in 17 different colors----that being said, it is also one of the iconic POLÉNE bags. This design is actually the first design I saw from POLÉNE and I instantly fell in love with POLÉNE. I'd say if you can't make up your mind on which design to get from POLÉNE, I would say get one of the Numéro Un series (comes in 4 different sizes--biggest to smallest--Numéro Un, Numéro Un Nano, Numéro Un Mini, Numéro Un Micro) because for me, it fits my essentials and allow me to be hands-free. I absolutely love the mini top handle, which I wrapped around a Dior twilly to add some more chicness to it.

Nodde in smooth black
+) 7 colors available
This Nodde bag is the newest design by far, July 2023, from POLÉNE. I love the white stitches, it stands out so much. The size is perfect and love the design as well; however, my honest review of this bag is that I wouldn't recommend it. Design-wise, it is one of my favorites--it's a zippered closure and it's very hard to take things out from the bag because the opening of the bag is very narrow to begin with. If you are worried about things falling out of your bag, maybe this is the bag to get, but honestly, I don't use this bag much compared to other POLÉNE bags I have.
Overall, the quality of POLÉNE bags are top-notch. I love their bags because most of the bags they have can be either hand carried or worn crossbody. Their designs are very unique, and the straps are also petite friendly! They use textured leathers and they are very durable and low-maintenance. I don't have to worry about my dog, Tori, leaving any scratch marks! If you are looking for a new bag that's cute, has an outstanding functionality & quality, I can't recommend POLÉNE enough. I'm debating which bag to get next time! Numéro Dix? Or Tonca?
