Very refreshing to watch a review of this bag that is not sponsered!! A lot are sponsered and it is difficult to get an honest and unbiased review 🙋🏻 Thank you so much!!
I also have this same bag in black. I absolutely love it. It's the perfect size. Fits all essentials with room to spare. Don't have trouble getting in and out of it. Mine also has the squeaky strap issue. So I also took off the strap and put on a different chain strap and it totally elevated the look.
Thank you for your swift reply Deborah. Their official website stated the. The bag to be 1.7kg weight...I got a shock of my life, what bag weighs this much with little to hardware 😅
Since the first day I bought, I never had squeaky noise and Im very satisfied. When u buy tge small size of course u dont get too much room. I have the large size un nano trio blush looks elegant and exquisite.
I just checked their price and it went up so much from 2 years ago. I do love their bags and the colors. I have this in the garnet and love it. I would love to have the green and blue.
I had the larger one. When I'd go to get things out, the snaps would pop open and it would take too long to close if I was rushing (like putting away a book when rushing out of the train) so I'd just have to rush around with it not closed right, or be fiddling with it while people are trying to rush around me (embarrassing). Also I like wearing my bags on my shoulder and it was too long even on the shortest setting. I loved the quality and look though, so considering trying again with this small size.
The first thing I thought when you mentioned the squeaking was “it’s not broken in” lol. Try a leather conditioner, that’s what I do. It softens the leather so it won’t be so stiff. I use Apple Brand.
I just ordered mine in textured chalk and matching belt. Planning on changing the strap with chain, too. And add a twilly on the handle. OMG, can’t wait!
YES!!! The squeak drove me crazy too. I had the pebbled and it squeaked. Also the bag basically needs to be opened and closed with two hands. If I’m out and about I want to be able to access my stuff using one hand.
Doesn’t the squeak get so annoying 😆 I thought if I used it more it would go away, but I think it’s here to stay hahah. I still like the bag because it’s so cute but I do wish it was slightly easier to use 🥰
I feel you. I have some noise sensitivity but the more you wear it… the sound eventually goes away. I have it in taupe textured leather and I love it. I’m considering getting the numero sept now… I gave my mom my coach Cassie to replace it
This was helpful! This one is so cute. The squeaky noise wouldn't bother me at all actually. I was considering the slimmer one without the top handle but this one will probably work better💕💕💕
Ya, I got to get over the squeak 😂 I still love the simplicity of the bag.... I been using it all week now that I switched out the strap. Thanks for watching babe 💕
I have this bag, but it doesn’t squeak. I’ve never taken off the strap and wondered about how hard it’d be to take off so that’s good to know. I also have it in another type of leather (whatever their equivalent of saffiano is) so maybe it’s the material that makes the noise? By the way, I had the one size bigger (mini) and I sold it bc the chain was too thin and digged into my shoulder (to be fair I walk a lot) and I missed the use of a top handle. Lastly, I like the number 10 as well!
Ohhh... it’s prob the soft leather on this bag that makes it squeak. That’s good to know, I’ll get it in the grained leather next time 😊 I like the chain version too, but I was worried about the chain digging in. Thanks so much for all the info ♥️
The squeak, yes OMG I just bought the textured nano in Taupe and it squeakes too. Cheapens it IMO. Other comments in some video said even her Chanel bag does that, and maybe can be solved with leather conditioner. But I have other bags with similar features and they don’t squeak. And also the strap has this plastic (?) coating on the side that rubs tightly against the D ring, making it hard to adjust. So hard and when I moved hole, the previously used hole looked rather ugly. I just bought the taupe but already thinking of selling it. I don’t like the saffiano type of finish of the textured one as well. Thanks for the vid! Tou really spoked my mind! Are you keeping the bag? Still use it?
This video really helped me decide on this bag. I totally agree with your assessment of the cons of this bag. Because of those cons, this is not the bag for me.
Thanks for this review! What do you think of it in black? Would you suggest this as a cute bag to go out to dinner? If not any other style you would recommend?
I have the backpack style of this bag in taupe with pebbled leather. I was really impressed with the quality when unboxing and think Polene is an underrated brand. My only complaint is that I wish the backpack had a top handle. It would also be awesome if there was a boutique near me (SF Bay Area). I like seeing and trying things out in person, especially since I'm wary about international shipping and possible returns.
I’m totally the same! I need a top handle and I’m more inclined to buy something when I can physically go inside a store to try things on. The shipping always gets me...makes me not want to buy the bag sometimes 😂 I definitely think polene is underrated. You cant beat the quality for the price range.
To deal with the squeaky sound and difficulty of undoing the leather strap, try applying leather lotion to the strap leather part and the glazing side. It will reduce friction because it is due to dryness.
Hi, if you want to prevent the squeaky noise, you can add some gold clasps on the leather strap. It will make it easier to put on and take off. Here is a reference at 2:55 :th-cam.com/video/KzFQa5OG6yQ/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the review, I noticed that squeeky noise too. Do you find it hard to close the bag sometimes? Its kind of like difficult to line the lock together and I find the leather a bit tough or is it just because its new?
I ended up changing the strap to my chain strap to avoid the squeaking. Like the bag so much more now. I also noticed the closure is a little hard to align. I got used to it after some time. I think it will get easier once the leather softens 😊
Hey! What's your impression on the strap? I've just watched another review and the youtuber complained that the strap was kind of sharp on the edges (where the glazing meets the stitching or something). I'm afraid I would keep snagging my clothes with this :(
I’m not a fan of the strap because it’s stiff and makes a squeaky noise. I don’t notice it being sharp but I took the straps off and use this bag with a gold chain instead. Such a game changer!
Hi i have been planning to get this, i have a few questions. 1. Can it fit an Iphone 14 promax? 3. Is it lightweight, or is it already heavy when its empty? 4. how is the wear and tear of this bag? I hope you see this comment, hoping for a reply. Thank you 🥺
I bought this on NextFashion. This one is the curb chain 9mm. I also have a promo code, in case you want to save 15%. This chain is super durable and I use it on lots of my bags. I have this in the 48” but they have various lengths depending on how long or short you want it 😊
Sounds like a great bag for the price! I really like the colour 😍 I used to have some squeaky sneakers and I would get SO embarrassed at the noise lol - I completely get why it bothers you.
I got it from next fashion. I’ll add the link to the description box and I have a promo code in case you want to save a little. It’s the best chain, super luxe and durable 💕
Helpful video, it’s hard to get an “honest” review when most of the videos are sponsored. The reviews are different when you were given a free bag from the company. I wouldn’t like the bag that squeaks and hard to get things from inside. Maybe I will look into a different style then. Thanks.
So glad the video was helpful 💕 I heard its maybe the soft leather that makes it squeak. This one is the smooth leather, I would try the grained leather. My next bag I purchase will be in that leather instead 😊
I love this bag and it is such a cutie.😍 Thanks for the honest review, in general it sounds like a great bag for this money. Thanks for sharing your opinion. ❤️
I have some shoes that make squeky noises - I can‘t take it… outdoors or in more crowded areas it’s kinda ok, but when I walk for examle through the office, it makes me feel like „Here comes Micky Mouse“ 😆

Thank you babe for watching ❤️ I try to keep it as real as can be 😊, that way we can spend money on bags that is worth our investment. 💛💛💛
Great review and addressing all of the usual issues that normal women finds issues with handbags. Best polene review I have seen.
Love your honest review! Thanks for showing how tight the inside is! Really appreciate!

Hi is your bag in black then big size or the same small size as in this video? If it is the biggest size is it hefty to you even when empty ?
The chain gives it such an elegant look!
@tiggerlandmio I have the same Size. It's not heavy at all. Super light when empty.
Thank you for your swift reply Deborah. Their official website stated the. The bag to be 1.7kg weight...I got a shock of my life, what bag weighs this much with little to hardware 😅

I had a issue with a squeaky strap on a Mulberry bag years ago I solved it but rubbing a small amount of Vaseline on the area! It's a lovely bag x
Great tip! I’ll definitely try that. Thank you 🥰!
Another good way to reduce the squeaky noise is to rub wax paper on the hardware.
I just checked their price and it went up so much from 2 years ago. I do love their bags and the colors. I have this in the garnet and love it. I would love to have the green and blue.
How's garnet colour in real???
The green and blue are both 💯 I definitely want to add other styles in the future 😃

I also had the squeeky nosie and just ONE DROP of olive oil fixed the problem entirely!

Sounds like a great bag for the price! I really like the colour 😍 I used to have some squeaky sneakers and I would get SO embarrassed at the noise lol - I completely get why it bothers you.
Squeaky sneakers are the worst 😂 I’ve had that happen so many times hahah.
What colour is it?
Where did you buy the gold chain?
I got it from next fashion. I’ll add the link to the description box and I have a promo code in case you want to save a little. It’s the best chain, super luxe and durable 💕

😂 I totally feel the same! It’s the worst when I’m walking through the quiet office with squeaky shoes. Everyone will turn to look hahah.
I love a bag that has a good value! This one looks stunning and I love the color you went with 😻
Been loving neutral bags... matches everything 😍
What is the name of the color of the bag?
This one is in the camel :)
@@SomethingLatte i got the moka after watching your video.
Thanks 💋❤️
Kinda wish I watched this video before buying the bag. The bag is absolutely adorable but that strap squeaky noise drives me insane 😂
