A rising star in the world of luxury handbags
Polène is an emerging French brand that has taken the luxury handbag world by storm. With its laser-cut focus on minimalism and its loud proclamation of quiet luxury, it certainly deserves the fame it has garnered. Founded by three siblings in 2016, Polène has been experiencing exponential growth. The brand's motto centers around timeless elegance, a principle evident in each piece. Polène caters faithfully to millennials, offering über-chic designs with notes of simplicity and sophistication. All bags are currently manufactured in Ubrique, Spain, with thorough quality checks at every step. Dedicated to sustainability, Polène has implemented various upcycling programs. They responsibly source their leather from Spanish and Italian tanneries while avoiding immoral trade practices.
The brand boasts a diverse range of bags, each available in numerous color and fabric variants, tailored to customer preferences. Polène offers leather alternative variants in all styles, primarily made of cotton twill with some leather accents—a great plus for vegans. Having followed Polène for some time, I've handpicked three of their finest offerings among the available options.
Béri
A stunning fusion of innovation and style that is set to redefine your accessory collection. Its new and captivating shape features a central sliding clasp for an element of surprise and ease in opening. The Béri has quickly become a sensation among influencers, captivating social media with its trendsetting design. Crafted from 100% full grain textured leather, it exudes quality and durability. This bag is not only a fashion statement but also a versatile companion, offering two ways to carry: as a sophisticated handheld bag or as a practical crossbody.
Despite its luxe appearance, the Béri comes at a not-so-luxe price, making it accessible to all fashion enthusiasts with an eye for style. Ideal for both formal events and casual occasions, the bag is perfect for parties, adding an elegant touch as a handheld accessory or a carefree casual vibe when worn crossbody. For a striking look, I recommend the Black textured variant with a leather strap, ensuring maximum contrast with the gold accents, although the Sandalwood variant is a remarkable alternative. Elevate your style with the Béri handbag — where fashion meets function without breaking the bank.
Numéro Neuf
The Numéro Neuf emerges as a beloved trendsetter, effortlessly earning its status as everyone's favourite carry-all. Its generous interior ensures it can hold the essentials and then some, truly carrying your world within its chic silhouette. What sets the Numéro Neuf apart is its adaptability, presenting two distinctive styles to suit different moods and occasions. A truly chic and modern design with it's unique curves and folds, it is remarkably eye-catching.
Designed for practical elegance, the Numéro Neuf features two options for versatile carrying — sling it over your shoulder for a relaxed vibe or carry it as an elbow bag for a more refined appearance. The fantastic silhouette is absolutely opulent, pure indulgence for enthusiasts. Crafted from textured calf leather, the bag ensures durability and a timeless aesthetic. My recommendation would be the Cognac variant (SO lovely for fall), making a classic statement for wherever your day takes you. The Chalk variant is also a great choice. Enhance your style effortlessly with the Numéro Neuf, seamlessly blending minimalism and quiet luxury.
Numéro Dix
A handbag that effortlessly earns its title as a "no-brainer buy" with its timeless appeal and versatile design. Embodying an elegant classic crescent shape, it is a flawless execution of an everyday crossbody that every girl is perennially on the hunt for. The Numéro Dix offers flexibility with two carrying options, thanks to an adjustable strap that comes in two lengths, allowing you to effortlessly switch between a crossbody and a shoulder bag. The bag is lined with suede, which furthers it luxe touch and feel. As a gift, it's a surefire winner, adding a touch of luxury to anyone's collection.
With a plethora of options for fabrics and colours, this handbag allows you to tailor your choice to your personal style. My top recommendation is the Crocodile Nubuck Taupe variant, offering a luxurious texture and sophisticated charm. Although slightly more expensive than other options, it undoubtedly justifies its worth. The Sandalwood variant also stands out, with its deep colour and grunge hints. The Midnight Blue and the Olive variants are charming too. Add luxury to your everyday style with Numéro Dix — a must-have bag for every girl.
I hope you enjoyed my picks from Polène! Wrapping up for today - until next time. Au revoir!
