    I bought the numero neuf last December and I love it. It holds very straight, it doesn’t have the weird inclination yours has. I would return it, for that price the shape should hold properly. It’s probably a default

    There are a lot of problems with Polene now apparently, in the last year or two. Everything from the leather peeling after a few days to stitches being sloppy or coming out, you name it… There are literally videos “exposing” Polene at this point. I would buy a bunch of different bags from them and start a collection, but apparently I found out about them too late and probably can’t get a good quality one anymore so I will have to find an alternative brand..

    I own five Polene bags: two regular sized numéro neuf, one mini numéro neuf, the Mokki, and the numéro huit. I absolutely adore each of them. Polene is one of my favorite brands right now. I’m really sorry that you seem to have purchased a defective bag. There’s no way it should be leaning like that. Also, one of the things I love the most about the neuf bags is how supple the leather is. I agree that you should return it asap.

    Hi Mila, thank you for the honest review. I have Pólene Numero Un for 5 years and Numero Dix for 4 years. Quality of both is outstanding. Even though I do not baby my bags and I have couple scratches on one the other still looks like brand new. I highly recommended the brand to my friend but when she had received the bag recently the quality just didn’t seem right. I guess that’s the changed in leather you had mentioned. For myself I would choose to go to the shop next time I’m in Paris and check the bag in person before buying. I like weary much the Cyme bag and still considering buying it

    I love bags, but won’t pay that much for them, and work very hard at finding wonderful bags at low prices. All of my bags are relatively flawless in comparison to the one you just bought. No stains, no “leaning”, no dry stiffness.
    You may never have a good feeling when looking at this bag in the future. Replace it with one that has no flaws.
    If Polene’s display models are better than their models for sale, something is wrong. 😊

      I love a nice leather that you touch and look at and just feels great. It’s not bad and I’d probably not feel anything wrong with it if I didn’t touch the other one first - it was just sooo much nicer, like when you apply a leather balm on a bag. The crooked look is what makes me feel really off about it, it’s a shame. I’ll go to the store and see if they have a better one, I still have hope. Do you have a store near you or would you get it shipped?

      ​@@milainnewyork Hi Mila! The Toteme bag has been great; it's been my go-to bag since I got it. I would like to invest in other colors down the line. The quality is excellent. The only downside is getting in and out of the bag. It's not the most accessible opening, but you get used to it after a while. However, this might not be the right bag for you if you prefer easy access.

    I just got Nodde. The bag is smooth leather but it came creased on the front side, which I haven't notice it until 3 days later (I was tooo excited and the crease was not too noticeable in dim light or if you are not touching it). I emailed about this defect and got offer an exchange(now I am waiting for the new one) From what I know, their quality is quite random, a lot of people got a defected bag, and a lot are fine....so😂 Also, many people experinced not so good customer service. For me the customer service was great so far. Soo the customer service could be random too..? What I can suggest is that you might want to throughly inspect your bag once you got it, and if there is any defect, email them asap

    • @milainnewyork
      @milainnewyork  6 месяцев назад

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience! So happy to hear you were able to exchange, hope the new one you get is perfect! ❤️ I have known Polène for years and always loved them. When they opened a store in NYC I was one of the first people to step in the store, I was so excited. Honestly, their quality used to be top notch - comparable to luxury brands, I dare to say.
      I think if we depend on luck to get a good bag or to be treated properly by customer service, this shows that there’s a problem happening with the brand.
      Just like you, when I got my bag I didn’t notice how crooked it was (only when I was home). What bothered me at first was just the feel of the leather which was drastically different from what it used to be, even compared to the display ones I tried.
      When I went to the store to return the bag, I asked him to bring other colors and they all felt rough and dry (Numéro Neuf). They’re definitely not what they used to be, but for sure you can still get really nice bags! Also not all styles had a leather “upgrade” so this could me mostly a problem for this particular style I got.

I feel like because Polène became so popular, it is harder for them to quality control...but still...😅 Though my experience was not bad, I expected more. ((I think it may be because I live in Europe so everything went faster and smoother)). Getting a defective bag ruined my experience with the brand a bit, and has me questioning if I really should get a second one.
      I love their design, so I will still consider buying more. I really hope they can keep up the quality. ((They claimed to prioritize quality and also they increased their price! I checked my wishlist I made a year or two ago and it was not a small amount, at least 40 euros.))

I would totally return the bag if you're not happy with it. Either ask for an exchange or a refund. About the stain: in my experience working with leather (I used to work for an Italian shoe brand years ago) this specific type of grain leather can have stains and it's just the way it comes from the animal. I wouldn't worry too much about it...but the rest... nah! not fair, especially for the huge mark up they're adding every semester...

Specifically in the last few months (complaints about crooked handles, not sitting straight and the lesser quality leather). At that price you should be able to expect good quality and attention to details. I only hope that Polène follows reviews of their products on social media so they can address these issues. The style of their bags is so unique and beautiful it is sad to hear about the quality not being as good. Keep up the good work!! 💕👍🏼🫶🏻

      @@pasitheathanatosasmr488 nah they confirmed it’s a new leather! They “upgraded” the Numéro Neuf last year! Also, I went to the store the day they opened here in NYC 2 years ago and since then, it’s been the same supple, soft, delicious leather. The new one has nothing to do with it! My friends have Polène bags and none of them are like this..unfortunately it is a different leather! The crooked shape is also new, sadly 😅

      @@pasitheathanatosasmr488 😜 I totally get it! It’s hard to compare, but I honestly don’t think it’s a terrible leather - it’s just a little dry and doesn’t feel luxurious when you touch it. I felt that right away because I knew their previous material (and I own 2 Polène pieces that I truly love). Honestly, if it wasn’t so crooked I’d probably have kept it even with the new leather. If you love the style and have been wanting the bag, I’d definitely get one and try on!! 🩷

    So sad! I own exactly the same bag, the same color. I bought mine when they just came out and I paid $400 for it. The leather of my bag is very supple and nice. I love this bag although I do not wear it a lot because it’s tiny bit bulky and I like more structured bags. I was just recently in Paris and for the first time I went to see Sézane store. That is where my disappointment was. Everything was so inferior quality and prices are so high for what it is. The fabrics are so stiff and not pleasant. Boxy cuts…. I do not know why people are so excited about this brand at all.
    If I were you, I would return your bag if you’re not happy with the quality why bother❤

    LVMH has a minority stake in Polene so expect the quality to get worse and the prices to increase significantly. I suspect they are buying up smaller brands so they can have more of the market share for these “affordable luxury” brands and give the illusion of choice to the consumer that don’t want or aren’t able to afford their other higher priced brands.
