I literally squealed with delight when you said Polene sent you those gorgeous bags!! I'd love to see a 6 month review of both bags. They are beautiful :)
Thank you 💕Yes! I was shocked and excited when they messaged me too! The bucket bag is so cute (me and my mini bags haha) and the leather is nice. I'm excited to see how it wears!
“OMG there are feet” so cute 🥰 Thank you for doing this review! I’ve seen these bags advertised on Instagram but wanted to know more about them. I will be purchasing one for me and my mom!
They’re both stunning bags!! 😍 tysm for sharing! I recently got the Polène number one Nano in chalk and can’t wait to add more! I hope you enjoy your bags and can’t wait for future updates 😊
@@LValiquette I have! I love a hobo, I'm tempted to get the black just not sure on size 🙈. Are you planning on adding one to your collection? I have the number one in pastel green, number one mini in black and the number one nano in navy. If you need a cute cross body bag with lots of room that's comfortable to wear, the number one nano is the one! ☺️
Omg, I saw their ad on IG literally last week but wasn't sure how good/established they were (cause you never know with IG ads). SO happy you did a review on this! But yes, please do updated reviews on this pleaaase!
Could you review their other styles as well? Their numero uno in the mini or small caught my eye, and I know they have this kind of s crunchy top handle bag, but I just don’t know how classic of a style those are. Would love to hear your thoughts! ☺️
@@ValerieChing865 I love the numero uno style in the mini! But, I love a lot of mini bags in general haha. I think that style is a classic for Polene, since it was their original bag. It's definitely not too trendy to go out of style. If I get the chance to get one, I'll do a review on it!
Thank you for the video. I've also seen Polène adverts on Instagram for several months and wanted to know about their quality. I just think I might invest in one now after your video! I'm really enjoying some of these less popular known brands like Polène and Furla!
YES! I kept seeing the adverts on IG and I'd always stop and look at the bags. I agree, Furla is also a wonderful brand - they make classic, minimalist bags that will last years. I've also recently become interested in Aspinal.
I purchased the camel bucket bag in bigger size and I love it..my colleagues always notice when i wear this bag cause it is unique..Can you do updated review/first impression once you use the le cabas because I am eyeing that one for quite some time now.. Thank you for this video🥰🥰🥰
Yes! The Mansur Gavriel bucket bags are so cute! The leather on these are textured, so they might be a bit more carefree. But the smooth leather on the Mansur bags is gorgeous.
I am SOOOOO happy to see a review from you on the Polene cabas! I’ve been thinking about picking on up later this year, but am concerned about the weight. In your opinion, how much do you think the cabas weighs empty? Weight is a deal breaker for me no matter how beautiful the bag is 😊. Thanks for your help!
The Cabas is sooo light! Weight is definitely a deal breaker for me too. I actually talked about how light it is in my draft video, but cut it out because my video was getting to long haha. I think because it doesn't have any extra pouches, pockets and it isn't lined in a cotton/linen fabric, it keeps the weight down.
I chanced upon the Numéro Huit on Polène's Instagram page, fell in love with it even though it's shape does resemble a garlic (Lol). Just contemplating between the Bordeaux and Cognac colour before I cart out. I really appreciate this in-depth review as well, it gave me all the information I needed.
LMAO! Your garlic comment is hilarious. Now, I will never look at my bag the same (good thing I loooove garlic) haha. Both colours are beautiful. I think Cognac would be easier to transition year round, compared to Bourdeaux. But, in the end, go with what your instincts are telling you😊
I’m so happy you did this. These are the exact styles in the exact colors I’ve been looking at from them😅 also glad your sister in law taught you the pronunciation because it’s butchered so much on RUclips lol
If you get a bag in lighter or natural color do you spray them first before using? Does that help with colortransfer and rain repellent? Also if a bag has suede interior, do you also spray them? Thanks for the review, been eying the no. Neuf from Polene for a while and also wanted a a different color than my usual Black. Would like to see a review in few months with you're experienced using the bags
I spray all my leather bags on the outside with Kiwi Protect All. I find that it helps with the rain here in Vancouver. I don't ever spray the inside though. I'll definitely do an update video after I use them for a few months. Thanks for watching!💕
Ahhh, that's true - duties are always annoying, especially when they aren't shown up front. Since, mine was gifted to me, I didn't have to pay duties. I did google on purseforum and there are quite a few posts there about ordering from Polene and shipping to Canada!
I think it would. The only issue is that the bottom of the bag is more narrow than the top. So it might have to fit at an angle. But it is definitely a roomy tote!
I checked shipping for me and it was $25 in Canada. I do believe there will be duties. I saw on purseforum that people did have to pay, but it wasn’t an crazy amount. Perhaps take a look there to see if anybody from your state has ordered? Might help to give you an idea😊
I’ve ordered twice from them and live in the States! I paid $20 for shipping - no duties. I bought my first bag last year, the Numero Un, and waiting on the Numero Neuf later this week. I believe there are duties if the total is over $800. Their website will have more details. They ship via DHL and you will get it in less than a week. Super fast and efficient. They offer free shipping I heard around the holidays!
I love that bucket bag! It’s such a minimal style with some unique character.
Yes, it's super minimal! It will go with everything. You need one 😆
I literally squealed with delight when you said Polene sent you those gorgeous bags!! I'd love to see a 6 month review of both bags. They are beautiful :)
Awww thank you Cat! That was me when I first saw the email - I was shocked! I'll definitely do a 6 month review on the bags. 💕
This is a good reveal. Can you pls do a bag a review after months of using it. And how well does it go.
@@LValiquette Do you still like your Polene bags?
Super cute! I love the bucket bag! And that color is perfect! So SO excited they contacted you to review their purses!
Thank you 💕Yes! I was shocked and excited when they messaged me too! The bucket bag is so cute (me and my mini bags haha) and the leather is nice. I'm excited to see how it wears!
“OMG there are feet” so cute 🥰 Thank you for doing this review! I’ve seen these bags advertised on Instagram but wanted to know more about them. I will be purchasing one for me and my mom!
LOL! I was so happy to see the feet on the bottom! Aww such a nice gift fr your mom! Are you looking at this style or another one?
I’ve been thinking of buying the Le Cabas for a while but there aren’t any reviews! Clicked on this so quickly when I saw you post it!! Thank you! 🙌🏼
Yay! So glad I could help! I looked for reviews on it too, but couldn't find any. It's so soft and smooshy!
@@LValiquette would you recommend the white color? I’m torn between the white, taupe and black!
I actually love Polene's styles! They are so simple and chic 😍
Yes! I agree, very simple and chic, perfect for a classic bag 😀
Congrats on your new bags!!! I have been wanting a Polène bag for so long!!! I love them! The Numéro 8 is SUCH a cute design!!! Enjoy!
Thank you! Yes, the Numéro 8 is gorgeous! Such a unique design, but also classic!
I have the Numero Uno and a pouch and love them. I have had it for a few years, great quality.
Ohh that’s so great to know! The quality seems really good.
Both super gorgeous bags. I love polene. Their styles are so unique and fashionable
Thank you! Yes, they have some really nice details that I've only found with their brand!
Love the bucket bag! So cute! The leather looks luxurious.
Thank you! It really is and I'm so impressed with the leather!
They’re both stunning bags!! 😍 tysm for sharing! I recently got the Polène number one Nano in chalk and can’t wait to add more! I hope you enjoy your bags and can’t wait for future updates 😊
Ohhh the number one nano is gorgeous...and the chalk colour makes it stunning! Congrats on such a gorgeous bag!
I’ve been looking for a review of the cabas bag, thank u!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yay, glad I could help! It's a gorgeous bag!
Well done being sent 2 bags 👏
Love the Le Cabas! Please do a 3-6 month review 😄
Thank you 💕. I am so grateful. I will definitely do an update on the bags, I'm excited to see how they do in the long run.
They are both so beautiful! Love the minimalist look and they look like really good quality.
The quality is amazing! I love the minimalist look 💕
Love the mini bucket bag, gorgeous colour. Trust your review as always!
Aww thank you💕. The bucket bag is honestly so cute. With all the price increases at LV, Chanel, etc...it's nice to have some affordable options!
Fantastic video and review! I love polene! I have 3 of their bags! When I saw the new tote I was so happy!
Ohhhh which handbags do you have? Have you seen their newest bag, the hobo? It’s also so amazing!
@@LValiquette I have! I love a hobo, I'm tempted to get the black just not sure on size 🙈. Are you planning on adding one to your collection?

Love love love the white tote bag!!!😍😍😍
Thank you! I used it a few times now and it's amazing!
Love, both bags. I have purchased a card holder from Polene and love it. I will be buying a bag for sure. Luv your video's here in Mississaug.
Ohhh it's always good to hear from someone who has experience with the brand! I'm glad to hear you love it. Hope you're doing well!💕
@@LValiquette . Yes Thank you I am and pray you continue to also. Love your video's!!

Polene are such beautiful pieces of art🥰😘
They really are! I love how different their shapes and designs are. ☺️
Girl, your pronunciation is super good! The bags are beautiful, really great choices! Big virtual hugs from Montréal Xox
Ohh thank goodness! 💕Thank you for the best comment, I was so worried about my pronunciation. The handbags are really gorgeous!
They are beautiful and flattering on you. Good choices 😊❤️😊❤️
Thank you so much! 💕
Wow I've never heard of this brand before but they're so cute
They have some really stunning bags!
This is a good review on Polene bags. You presented it as a practical yet stylish bag to have. Yes! I just bought one this morning :)
Congrats on your new bag! Which one did you end up getting? They are all stylish and very minimal, love the brand as a whole!
@@LValiquette I got the Le Cabas in cognac, I'll use it as my new work bag.
@@clairep1379 Are you loving it!?
@@kristinam.p.5058 yes it gives you a certain look and vibe at the same time it fits everything you need. :)
Great job explaining both 💼 bags . I am buying both bags . I never heard of this brand until recently. Prices are good
Yes, Polene is an amazing brand!
i have the numero uno mini! love it!
love the service, packaging too. and the leather is full grain leather, for their price!
For the price, you honestly can't beat the quality! I'm so happy to hear that you love your number uno - the mini is so cute!

They are so gorgeous! I’m going to look at these!
Yes! They are gorgeous and the price point is more affordable too! I'm sick of all the LV increases haha.
Omg! I clicked so fast! I have been wanting to try this brand! ❤️ Love your video contents! I want the bucket bag!
Yay! I'm honestly very happily surprised with how nice the bags are! It's always hard to tell when you see them all over IG, but they are amazing!
your review was great!! I was thinking getting this bag, but wasn’t sure. After I watch your review I’m definitely getting this bag! Thank you🙏
Yay! Which bag were you thinking of getting? Both are so gorgeous!
@@LValiquette I’m getting bucket bag huit ✨ 😊
I purchased the camel bucket bag in bigger size and I love it..my colleagues always notice when i wear this bag cause it is unique..Can you do updated review/first impression once you use the le cabas because I am eyeing that one for quite some time now.. Thank you for this video🥰🥰🥰
The bigger bucket is very nice! Yes, I’ll definitely do an updated review on the Cabas😊
Hi. They now have a pochette that goes along with this bag. So the newer version is more complete.
Lovely review! Your accent is so interesting too! Never heard someone say bag the way you do before!!
Thank you ☺️. LOL! I didn't even know I said "bag" weird until people here starting saying it.
I’m guessing she might be from Canada which would explain it?!
Wait these bags are gorgeous 😍
Right?! And the price point is so good compared to some other brands!
I love both of them!!!
Yes, they are both so gorgeous. I honestly can't believe the quality of them!
I wish the strap is removable. I adore the number 8 mini, i am a sucker for tiny bags too.
YES! A removable strap would make it 💯
Cute bags and nice colors!
Yes! The colours are out of my comfort zone. But I figure 2021 is a new year to try new things haha!
Putting this on my list 😩 I wonder how these compare to the Mansur buckets
Yes! The Mansur Gavriel bucket bags are so cute! The leather on these are textured, so they might be a bit more carefree. But the smooth leather on the Mansur bags is gorgeous.
Hello. Would you do an one review of these bags, especially the tote. Thank you!
I did a review on the tote!
Stunning purses!
They really are! Polene is on top of their game!
I am SOOOOO happy to see a review from you on the Polene cabas! I’ve been thinking about picking on up later this year, but am concerned about the weight.

New subbie here, obsessed with your video reviews!!
Awww thank you! 💕
Didn’t watch it yet, but I needed this! The Tote is in consideration at the Moment 😜
Ok now I watched it and I decided it’s too big! Thank you for the great video 🥰🤩
It is a larger tote! So it may be a bit big on a petite person. But, I do love that you can put the sides in to make it a smaller tote. ☺️
Can you do a comparison on Cabas with all your tote bags? Considering if it’s worth it? Thanks
Yes, will definitely do! Although I don't have many tote bags haha!
I love the both
Will you make a follow up video on how it wears? I want to purchase the huit but I can't decide on the large or the small.
Yes! Will do! If you like mini bags I would definitely go with the small. It’s small, but not too small 😂
@@LValiquette I ordered the mini huit in black. I can’t wait to receive it.
Have been eyeing the Le Cabas bag for a while. I wonder if there is any promo code for a discount? Many thanks!
Polene doesn't offer any promo codes 😢
Out of topic but your cardigan is so cute! Could you please tell me where you bought it?
It’s from American Eagle, but last year. I’m not sure if they have the same style 😢
I’m so happy you did this. These are the exact styles in the exact colors I’ve been looking at from them😅 also glad your sister in law taught you the pronunciation because it’s butchered so much on RUclips lol
LOL! I was so stressed trying to get the name right haha. Yay, so happy I could help with the bags! Are you leaning towards one more than the other?
@@LValiquette definitely numero huit. It’s possibly the sleekest and chicest bucket bag I’ve seen!
If you get a bag in lighter or natural color do you spray them first before using? Does that help with colortransfer and rain repellent? Also if a bag has suede interior, do you also spray them?

Anybody order and shipped to canada did you pay duties?
Do you get to keep the bags or did they just send them for your feedback?
I was so fortunate to work with Polene and keep the gorgeous bags.
Ah I’m seriously considering my first bag from polene! I wonder if there will be any duty charged shipping to Canada. 🤨
Ahhh, that's true - duties are always annoying, especially when they aren't shown up front. Since, mine was gifted to me, I didn't have to pay duties. I did google on purseforum and there are quite a few posts there about ordering from Polene and shipping to Canada!
Yes you have to pay duty 🤗
What do u think of no.8 camel bag color ?
Do you think Le Cabas will fit a 15" macbook?
I think it would. The only issue is that the bottom of the bag is more narrow than the top. So it might have to fit at an angle. But it is definitely a roomy tote!
Video on your desk agenda set up?
Ahhh, I'm not going to lie, I didn't really set it up ahah 😂. It's not super aesthetically pleasing inside. I need to go watch your videos!
@@LValiquette the most important thing is that the set up works for you love. Hopefully you'll find my videos helpful 🥰
Omg I want that bag but I was worried about the shipping. I live in New York. No one ever talks about shipping this is an over seas Brand
I checked shipping for me and it was $25 in Canada. I do believe there will be duties. I saw on purseforum that people did have to pay, but it wasn’t an crazy amount. Perhaps take a look there to see if anybody from your state has ordered? Might help to give you an idea😊

I really can’t believe how lovely their packaging is. My Jacquemus came in a dust bag in a box and it’s was more money smh
Lol! I agree! They really package everything so nicely and with care!
Is the bucket bag heavy?
No, it's super light! I forgot to mention that in my video!🤦🏻♀️
Do you know if there are taxes incurred when shipping to Canada?
I believe there are duties and taxes when shipping to Canada.
A six month review pls
Will do!
Omg I just know about this bag nowwwww! Can they send me something for consideration too 😝
Polene is an amazing brand!
@@LValiquette so tempt to ord the bucket bag
