I wish more people would make videos like this, It is not negative but an honest review that can help others who feel the way you do about not being able to fit your phone. It is helpful and could save people a lot of money and trouble if they know the good and the not so good for others. To be honest the bag isn't right for you, the opening will not change no matter how long you use it and keep it . I would sell it and maybe try a bigger one like this that might fit your phone. But before you buy maybe ask others with the bag if they can easily fit their phone in and get it out. That would save you time and money in buying another one.
The only honest review about this bag. I bought it a few month ago, and initiated the return process in the same day as I received it. I dont want those TH-camrs who are sponsored by Polene any more
Haha I would love to be sponsored by Polene 😂 but I do believe in honesty with doing bag reviews. Sorry to hear that this didn’t work out for you either!
Hi Poola, I agree with you! I think this is such a unique & cute style that we all get sucked into it but then as we start using it we realize that she is def not very user friendly 🤦🏼♀️
This was a great critique on this bag. I have the regular size and I love it. I considered the mini but as I was fortunate enough to buy my bag in-store at the Tokyo location and was able to compare the mini with the regular I could see that access could be an issue. This is why I went with the regular. I have to say I love the look of this bag when I first saw it but it took me over a year before I purchased it. Since the brand has become so popular there have been issues with consistent quality on a few models which happens with even high lux brands after a bag becomes popular as they rush to meet demand. My bag is perfect and I am planning to purchase another Numero Neuf in the regular size next year. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for watching! Originally I wasn't that into the regular size (and that's why I went with the mini size) but now as I have since sold the bag I find myself thinking about the regular size :D Maybe I should re-visit it!
I’m looking to buy this bag for all the same reasons you mentioned! I’m a small bag kinda girl so I think the opening wouldn’t be a problem personally- just to share, I use a phone chain that is directly attached to my phone (and can be detached) which makes it super convenient for me especially when I travel! My bag then is for my other daily essentials, but those aren’t the type I need to be fishing out every now and then like my phone. Hope this little tip helps as I would want to keep the beauty that is the Neuf mini ❤
I think I’m still going to get it I don’t mind a little bit of faff getting stuff out of the bag looks nice and fits my essentials but thanks for the review!!! 🎉
I have iPhone 15pro max and I have no real issues with getting it in or out from this bag, maybe hand size is counting too. I have this bag for 2 years now and I have 0 regrets about buying it. I always put in tissues, keys and my large iPhone 15 pro max, sometimes lipgloss or small hand sanitizer and I never got annoyed about getting things in or out. I agree it’s not an average opening and it’s rather small, but I absolutely love this bag for its unique look and premium quality. But your review might be helpful for some people, it’s nothing wrong with that too.
I have this bag, in the exact same color too. Love how it looks, very unique. I’ve only used it twice, for a special occasion. I agree with you, the opening is very uncomfortable. I wouldn’t have purchased it if I new.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and critiques of the bag. I think the point you bring up is an important one and I would have an issue with the size of the opening too!
I bought the mini and the regular size as well. The small opening is also a problem on the regular size. I ended up selling the regular size, cause although there’s a lot of space inside, you can’t get things through the opening 😭 My mini is also in chalk color, and i agree with you, it’s beautiful and I wear it a lot, buuuuuuuuut, I’ve noticed scratches and the color coming off in the corners. Same problem with other Polene bags I own, which is so disappointing.
Thanks for sharing, Poola! The bag is super cute! I’m thinking about getting this in the regular size precisely because this one has such a small opening. On the other hand, the regular size looks quite bulky. I wish there was an in-between size 😕
Thank you, this was really helpful. I like to see a mix of positive and negative reviews because it's impossible to know everything about a piece before buying. I had considered this bag and the Béri. That opening is very small!
I'm also interested in the real experiences; sometimes they are positive and sometimes the bag just doesn't work out - but it still might for someone else :)
When I first got my standard size Polene numero neuf, I preferred it to the mini for that reason. I had gotten to this conclusion at the store in Paris. Now that I am looking for a smaller bag, I thank you for this video reminding me that this is not the most practical choice. ❤
Thanks for your review. I have been debating on this bag. I love the look but I need the bag to be practical. I keep my phone in my purse. If they made it a bit longer and wide but not as much with the big version which is bigger than I would like. If you spend money a bag, it should never annoy you. You could just sell it and let someone else enjoy it. ….someone who may not put their phone in it every often or at all.
I have the bigger size neuf and Love it❤ I want to decide of the mini too, she is so cute😊but for the small opening… I think now no. My dix is small too, but Love it so far…Go with neuf regular, you will Love it so much 😊
I agree. Absolutely stunning bag and the quality is exceptional but the opening drove me crazy. I sold it but I’m seriously considering the larger one as I love the shape and the leather
I don’t have either but looked at them in store. I didn’t think this one looked “too big” in the next size up (unlike the Un) and didn’t lose its cuteness. I wish they would put feet on them as the floor models looked pretty rough on the bottom (reason I didn’t purchase) But super cute bag!
I have the medium No. 9. I agree with you on a lot of your feedback. I bought mine on a whim because it is such a unique style. However, the bag is impractical. Specifically, the opening is a challenge just like it is with the small bag. In addition, I can’t figure out where it fits in my wardrobe. It’s too big for an evening bag and for many day purposes as well; and, it’s too fancy for running errands. I don’t want it to sit in my closet and get no use, so I force myself to use it for occasions where other bags would be more appropriate, which frustrates me. All in all, I don’t enjoy this bag like I do my others.
I totally agree with you. I bought it a few weeks ago but returned it because of the opening. I couldn't fit my sunglasses case and I cannot live without them. Therefore I returned it and bought the regular size, that is PRACTICAL!! not the mini
I love this bag and have it in both this size which I use almost everyday and the larger which is, in my opinion too big. But I guess it comes down to the size of your hand. This is my travel bag too since only my hand will fit 😊 - I can fit 3 passports, my lipstick/ makeup pouch, money purse, tissue, iPods and extra charger comfortably.
I would buy a normal size if you like the style . I have it in Chalk also and have no problem. Mini I always knew would be not practical and it looks good only on tiny girls.❤😊
I'll have to look again at the normal size next time I'm in the boutique - last time when I tried both of them on I preferred the size-look combo on the mini :)
I appreciate this review. I was about to check out my cart but feel i should research more. I think i would spend the money on the burberry scarf that i have been wanted for ages.
But the bigger one .. also a problem. Cuz i thought the size of the bigger Neuf bag is perfect for my Samsung Tab. the bottom seems like it would fit anything, but the opening of the bag oh my God..i cant put my Tab. the size of my Tab is just smaller than the bag, but the design really make everything super difficult to put stuff.
I’m so sorry this bag has not met your expectations. Easy access is one of the most have for me so I can empathise with you in that tiny opening will drive me absolutely crazy as well.😅
I was considering buying the mini one, therefore I was looking for videos to get a better idea of the bag. The reason why I want the mini is because of the look. It's cute. Especially yours is pretty. To me it looke like a dumpling, haha. I have the regular size one and it's no problem to get or put your stuff out or into the bag. But in real like the bag doesn't look huge. I don't know why, but when I see others holding/wearing it in their videos it looks like a shopper. No matter what size that person is. For example the Numero Sept looks big in my opinion, but it's almost as small as the Numero Un Nano. I have both. I was surprised, because both looks so different in videos. But I have never seen one person showing both (at the same time). So maybe the regular size could be for you. Because it's not that much bigger I think. The style in combination with size doesn't look that good as a crossbody bag. I prefer wearing bags crossbody and that's another reason why I was considering the mini. But if that isn't an issue for you then I would think about selling the mini and get the regular size in your case. I wish they would have those buttons on the side like in the Numero Un. It might help with the access to one's content.
Thank you for such a thoughtful comment! I did look at the regular size when I was at the store buying the mini version as well. But I'm also a crossbody girl and I felt that the regular size just didn't look as good worn that way. Unfortunately. Side buttons would help a lot to make this size more userfriendly! Nevertheless, the shape is so beautiful and unique, but for me the usability is a big factor as well
@@WithaTouchofLuxury I understand the struggle. First world problem. I still don't know if I would purchase it in the future. Even if I have a million euros I'd be still unsure. But I don't understand why it's such a hassle in comparison to a WOC. That's weird. What about wearing the bag during Fall/Winter when you have a coat on or so with big pockets to put your phone inside? I know, it's just adjusting to the bag. By the way, I meant the Numero Un Nano and not the regular size one. But you have probably seen both in stores.
Do you find Polene numero un nano very small or it small but still okay size? I heard it is so small, pictures on website look bigger. But some say still spacious, so it is confusing.
@@ivonat.6760I find it small. When I wear this bag, I have to change things and reduce to the bare essentials. I switch to a smaller wallet (Comme des garcons zip wallet). What else fits beside the wallet: my phone, a pack of tissue, a lip balm and a few other little things around that size. On top I can put my sun glasses. But I'm not a fan of it, because I prefer them to be in a hard case and not in some fabric. With this bag you have to minimize and stack things. Therefore it's not really easy access to some item... In my case, I use a wallet and not a card holder or anything like that. That takes up space. Are you familiar with the uniqlo bag? Polene is much smaller. I wouldn't say that the nano is spacious. It's made out of leather, it's structured.
But you can open the side clasp right? There is a clasp on the side. Like the nano right? 😭😭😭 but if you can get to your phone I understand. I guess it’s a no for me too. 😭😭😭
Keep it to use it for special occasions. If you said you already been eyeing this, there’s so many reviews saying the opening is small. So it’s hard for me to believe that you don’t know that already and that you know exactly what you’re getting yourself into. It’s the unique style and design makes this bag special as no other brand does this. At the end of the day if it bothers you so much then just sell it to fund a new bag that you love I don’t think any bag is perfect. Too small, too big, too heavy, strap length, no pockets for my phone on the outside.
I have the iPhone 12 and it says the 11 is just a bit bigger than mine so that interesting that you were having issues with getting the phone out. I can definitely see why that would be annoying. The opening doesn’t seem that bad but I think it depends on the person and how u use it. This bag is the next Polene bag I want so I’ll have to test it out for myself and see. Tfs your thoughts 😊
I’m sure it could also be just me being annoyed with this; I mean the phone does come out, just not as easily as I’d like 😆 hope you can make this bag work out for you!
I understand your dilemma. Half of the experience in using a handbag is that if it’s easy to access you will use it more. It will bring you joy. If it’s an everyday bag it has to be user friendly. I do think it’s very cute, but not the bag I would take to the grocery store.
Sorry to hear that! I haven’t had any issues with the Un Nano but that’s probably because I don’t keep the buttons closed ever so the opening is easier
Hiiii ! I bought the same bag in taupe color and I had the same problem as yours ! It s a beautiful bag but not practical at all ! It ennoys me ! I sold mine maybe you can sold it ! Good video ❤
That is a bummer.😔 I had the same problem with the Sept Mini. Aw well, we can't get it right 100% of the time. I personally considered buying a Samsung Z-Flip for a smaller sized phone but chickened out. Can't ever fathom spending that much on a gadgety purchase! Just started buying slightly bigger bags instead.😅
maybe you can stand the phone up and not use the tab closure? Just leave the bag open? I haven’t gotten this bag yet for this very reason, but like you said, it is so cute and aesthetically unique! it has been dubbed the “dumpling” bag 🥟 😍
I saw your video before checking out on this one, now I’m thinking twice about it… But its really hard for me coz I’m looking for a reasonably sized bag with a crossbody strap. Turned out it’s very hard to find a bag like this because most usable bags are too bulky for crossbody and crossbody bags are usually small (in order to look good), and for a second it seemed a good choice 🥲
I feel the strugle! I love the looks of this bag and would have hoped that it worked out for me! But these were my personal issues, maybe they don't bother everyone :)
iPhone 13 mini owner here ….not a problem for me 😂…..anyone with those crazy big phones …maybe don’t buy small bags .. I understand your issue this would annoy me too …
I wouldn’t necessarily call an iPhone 11 a crazy big phone but maybe that’s just ny opinion ☺️ but I definitely can agree that a mini sized phone fits better into smaller bags!
Thank you for an honest realistic review. The bag looks adorable but i like to open a bag and see its contents instead of fumbling in the dark. You have saved me some money. I shall stick to my vintage chloe Paddington. 👍🤗🥰
regardless of your feeling regarding their quality, i have read several places Polene has fallen off and something has def changed with their quality, very recently.
I love the look of this bag but I know I dislike the opening (such a shame because the capacity should've been decent) But still, I bought a Loewe mini puzzle knowing that it has a small opening as well. Trying to use it as my everyday bag now but getting my phone and wallet is soooo annoying. I still love this Polene mini neuf but I definitely won't make the same mistake. 1 sacrifice is enough 😂
Simply wrong design that does not count user experience. It is just to show off on instagram, tiktalk and any other SNS. It is just trash, not good for the environment and humans. 🙏Thank you for your honest review. You are a beautiful person.
This has nothing to do with the bag but with the person who bought it. With all the respect but it quite obvious that this bag is not made to pull in and out easily stuff. It is obvious just by looking at the model or unboxing video not to mention if you could check in person. I am puzzled how some take decisions to buy and than share😂. Quite funny. I do not own this model exactly for easy access aspect. And i dont think you need 6 months to discover. If I am the go I use No. 10. I am not the type to want to carrry lots of stuff when I pick a small bag and I dont mind the zipper. If I am running errands and Ineed bit more stuff with me I am using Umi. And if I dont need to get in and out that much I use Une nano or big no.7. These 2 I find less comfortable for me If I want to keep take stuff in or out. I like all but it is about what I need with me and how many times I need to access the stuff if the bag
So most certainly you are not buying as an informed consumer because there is tons od videos on TH-cam of people that hate the entrance of the bag. I have mines in the very same color you do i knew the entrance was going to be an annoyance from the moment i order it but its cute enough im willing to over look that and same goes here if you had alreday heard the entrance was fussy why would you even give the bag a chance if you already know you like practical bags ? Just get the pochette metis and be happy with that literally the most practical bag ever made as i own it myself sure its expensive but your out here buying contemporary pieces that dont work for your life style just my opinion.
I wish more people would make videos like this, It is not negative but an honest review that can help others who feel the way you do about not being able to fit your phone.
It is helpful and could save people a lot of money and trouble if they know the good and the not so good for others.
To be honest the bag isn't right for you, the opening will not change no matter how long you use it and keep it . I would sell it and maybe try a bigger one like this that might
fit your phone. But before you buy maybe ask others with the bag if they can easily fit their phone in and get it out. That would save you time and money in buying another one.
You are probably right, selling this might be the only option as I don't like owning bags that don't work for me! Thank you for watching!
The only honest review about this bag. I bought it a few month ago, and initiated the return process in the same day as I received it. I dont want those TH-camrs who are sponsored by Polene any more
Haha I would love to be sponsored by Polene 😂 but I do believe in honesty with doing bag reviews. Sorry to hear that this didn’t work out for you either!
Appreciate your honest review, and I'm not surprised. It's exactly why I got the full size Neuf, which I love
Good to hear that the bigger one works for you!
Hi Poola, I agree with you! I think this is such a unique & cute style that we all get sucked into it but then as we start using it we realize that she is def not very user friendly 🤦🏼♀️
Couldn't agree more with what you wrote!
This was a great critique on this bag. I have the regular size and I love it.

I’m looking to buy this bag for all the same reasons you mentioned! I’m a small bag kinda girl so I think the opening wouldn’t be a problem personally- just to share, I use a phone chain that is directly attached to my phone (and can be detached) which makes it super convenient for me especially when I travel! My bag then is for my other daily essentials, but those aren’t the type I need to be fishing out every now and then like my phone. Hope this little tip helps as I would want to keep the beauty that is the Neuf mini ❤
Thank you for sharing! I haven’t actually thought about a phone chain before 🤔☺️

It is adorable, like a dumpling, does it not open up at the side folds?
Unfortunately not, the opening ends where the handles are sown in
But the bigger one .. also a problem. Cuz i thought the size of the bigger Neuf bag is perfect for my Samsung Tab. the bottom seems like it would fit anything, but the opening of the bag oh my God..i cant put my Tab. the size of my Tab is just smaller than the bag, but the design really make everything super difficult to put stuff.
Oh sorry to hear that the opening is clumsy even in the bigger size!

Keep it to use it for special occasions. If you said you already been eyeing this, there’s so many reviews saying the opening is small. So it’s hard for me to believe that you don’t know that already and that you know exactly what you’re getting yourself into.
It’s the unique style and design makes this bag special as no other brand does this. At the end of the day if it bothers you so much then just sell it to fund a new bag that you love
I don’t think any bag is perfect. Too small, too big, too heavy, strap length, no pockets for my phone on the outside.
You are right that nothing is perfect. But personally I didn’t know how much it bothered me before I bought the bag
I have the iPhone 12 and it says the 11 is just a bit bigger than mine so that interesting that you were having issues with getting the phone out. I can definitely see why that would be annoying. The opening doesn’t seem that bad but I think it depends on the person and how u use it. This bag is the next Polene bag I want so I’ll have to test it out for myself and see. Tfs your thoughts 😊
I’m sure it could also be just me being annoyed with this; I mean the phone does come out, just not as easily as I’d like 😆 hope you can make this bag work out for you!
I understand your dilemma. Half of the experience in using a handbag is that if it’s easy to access you will use it more. It will bring you joy. If it’s an everyday bag it has to be user friendly. I do think it’s very cute, but not the bag I would take to the grocery store.
I have taken this to the grocery store and I can tell you it wasn’t the best option 😂
i’m obsessed with mine i wear it daily
Happy to hear that!
Thank you for sharing. I was worried about the exact thing
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for sharing your practicality!
Thank you for watching!
Same experience with me with numero un nano i love the brand but some wont work for others 😢
Sorry to hear that! I haven’t had any issues with the Un Nano but that’s probably because I don’t keep the buttons closed ever so the opening is easier
Have you consider selling it?
Since fliming I have actually already sold it :)
I own that bag and have never carried it. I’ve had mine 6 months too.
Oh no sorry to hear that!
Hiiii ! I bought the same bag in taupe color and I had the same problem as yours ! It s a beautiful bag but not practical at all ! It ennoys me ! I sold mine maybe you can sold it ! Good video ❤
I have considered selling this so maybe that's the next step. Thank you for watching!
That is a bummer.😔 I had the same problem with the Sept Mini. Aw well, we can't get it right 100% of the time. I personally considered buying a Samsung Z-Flip for a smaller sized phone but chickened out. Can't ever fathom spending that much on a gadgety purchase! Just started buying slightly bigger bags instead.😅
Haha yeah I guess that would be the next step: just buying smaller phones! :DD although personally I'm pretty happy with bigger bags as well!
It's cute but they should have made it bigger. I think the thick handle probably makes it kind of awkward and carrying it
In this mini size the handle was very soft to carry but I don’t know how it is in the bigger one
maybe you can stand the phone up and not use the tab closure? Just leave the bag open? I haven’t gotten this bag yet for this very reason, but like you said, it is so cute and aesthetically unique! it has been dubbed the “dumpling” bag 🥟 😍
That could definitely be one option to try to make it work!
I got a big one nr 9 and its not better. I cant find anything there😂
Haha maybe I just have to realise then that the regular sized nr 9 is not for me :DD
I saw your video before checking out on this one, now I’m thinking twice about it…
But its really hard for me coz I’m looking for a reasonably sized bag with a crossbody strap. Turned out it’s very hard to find a bag like this because most usable bags are too bulky for crossbody and crossbody bags are usually small (in order to look good), and for a second it seemed a good choice 🥲
I feel the strugle! I love the looks of this bag and would have hoped that it worked out for me! But these were my personal issues, maybe they don't bother everyone :)
iPhone 13 mini owner here ….not a problem for me 😂…..anyone with those crazy big phones …maybe don’t buy small bags .. I understand your issue this would annoy me too …
I wouldn’t necessarily call an iPhone 11 a crazy big phone but maybe that’s just ny opinion ☺️ but I definitely can agree that a mini sized phone fits better into smaller bags!
Thank you for an honest realistic review. The bag looks adorable but i like to open a bag and see its contents instead of fumbling in the dark. You have saved me some money. I shall stick to my vintage chloe Paddington. 👍🤗🥰
Thank you for watching! And I’m glad I could help ☺️
Thanks for the review
Thank you for watching!
The bag is super cute but I could tell just by looking at it that the opening is way too small to be practical.
Yep, maybe I was hoping to the end that it would somehow still work for me as otherwise the bag is so adorable :D
regardless of your feeling regarding their quality, i have read several places Polene has fallen off and something has def changed with their quality, very recently.
Yep, I actually just made a video about this topic!
I feel the same way with my Coach Pillow Tabby 18 in gold 🤣😂 too small!!
I love the look of this bag but I know I dislike the opening (such a shame because the capacity should've been decent)
But still, I bought a Loewe mini puzzle knowing that it has a small opening as well. Trying to use it as my everyday bag now but getting my phone and wallet is soooo annoying.
I still love this Polene mini neuf but I definitely won't make the same mistake. 1 sacrifice is enough 😂
Haha 😂 the Loewe Mini Puzzle is sooo cute! But sorry to hear that the opening is causing you ’dislike’! I’m dreaming of the Puzzle bag in small size 😍
Unfortunately I do not have a solution to your problem 😕 I think in the long run you might have to consider letting go of it, if you don’t wear it.
Yeah I'm leaning towards selling it as well :/
Waw so nice video and good sharing friend
Thank you for watching!
I wish this video had time straps to skip to key info suggested from the title
I just think the no pockets in the bag is weird
Yes there definitely could be pockets inside!
Right now this bag cost $520 I think too expensive.
Yep Polene (as has every other brand as well) has had price increases. I wouldn’t go for this bag anymore but I am still dreaming of other models 😅
Simply wrong design that does not count user experience. It is just to show off on instagram, tiktalk and any other SNS. It is just trash, not good for the environment and humans. 🙏Thank you for your honest review. You are a beautiful person.
Thank you for watching!
this bag is ment to be carried empty😂
Haha that would be one option 😆
This has nothing to do with the bag but with the person who bought it. With all the respect but it quite obvious that this bag is not made to pull in and out easily stuff. It is obvious just by looking at the model or unboxing video not to mention if you could check in person. I am puzzled how some take decisions to buy and than share😂. Quite funny. I do not own this model exactly for easy access aspect. And i dont think you need 6 months to discover. If I am the go I use No. 10. I am not the type to want to carrry lots of stuff when I pick a small bag and I dont mind the zipper. If I am running errands and Ineed bit more stuff with me I am using Umi. And if I dont need to get in and out that much I use Une nano or big no.7. These 2 I find less comfortable for me If I want to keep take stuff in or out. I like all but it is about what I need with me and how many times I need to access the stuff if the bag
Thank you for sharing your opinion! Great to hear you have found bags that work for you 😊
Sell it Hun!
Since filming I actually have sold it 🤭
So most certainly you are not buying as an informed consumer because there is tons od videos on TH-cam of people that hate the entrance of the bag. I have mines in the very same color you do i knew the entrance was going to be an annoyance from the moment i order it but its cute enough im willing to over look that and same goes here if you had alreday heard the entrance was fussy why would you even give the bag a chance if you already know you like practical bags ? Just get the pochette metis and be happy with that literally the most practical bag ever made as i own it myself sure its expensive but your out here buying contemporary pieces that dont work for your life style just my opinion.
Thanks for the tip
I am new for you
Sell it and get the bigger size
Since filming this I actually have already sold it
Polene’s purses are a Disaster. They don’t fit anything inside and they’re designed for your stuff to fall out. If you buy it, you buy it for looks.
@@prettyprudent5779 for me it depends of the model. This one was unfortunately not convinient but I own other models that work fine for me
