"Undeniably feminine for its sensual curves, "Number One" is Polène’s signature handbag. Designed as a day bag, you'll love its elegant yet easy-going style."  Polène

A preamble.........

Being very selective about the Brands the Nest stocks, its rare that a new Designer surprises me.

However, Polène have done just that and their 'Number One' bag is quite literally outstanding, in every way. 

I usually pop the bags RRP on the listing about now....but I'll come back to this later, as would like to convey my initial reaction to this piece before initiating preconceptions.

Beautifully blouson, with femine pleats that you can play up or play down, this is an ideally sized, semi-structured day bag with the perfect degree of suppleness.

Cinch in the curves with the embossed prestuds, or leave them open for a more trapezoid look, if you didn't know this wasn't Celine, you'd be given immediate absolution, without question.

Exquisite, thick and pebbly, drummed calfskin with smooth leather trims and a suede top flap. The craftsmanship is to die for.....everything about this piece exudes quality.

Before I knew this bag cost just $400 USD, I would honestly have put it on a par with a £1,500 equivalent.

Without a doubt.

 Condition - Excellent to As New

Details -

No evidence of use, the reason for the condition rating is due to a tiny flex crack to the inking, (edge sealent) on the RH side flap base. A small, diagonal impression just above this can be noted on close inspection, (see photo provided)

Additional holes have been professionally added to the long shoulder strap in order to wear more comfortably cross body.

The nap of the suede to the top flap displays natural tonal and texture variations as is an inherent feature of this finish,

Some very minor flattening to the pile on each side of the rear top of the bag, under the strap bases where the strap has laid downwards on the nap, in the box.

Fully lined in thick, cotton twill with a large zipped pocket and two leather trimmed slip pockets.

Made in Spain
