Few brands at the contemporary price point reach the level of icon status that Polène has in its less than a decade in business. While in 2018, we listed it as an emerging brand to look out for, in 2022, it’s not just a brand to watch; it’s a brand you won’t be able to ignore.
This icon status is not without merit either; its bags are not only incredibly chic and sleek but boast unmatched quality at a price point well under $1,000—a nearly impossible balance to strike. A following of brand loyalists continues to grow, and with each new season comes new bags to love. This Fall/Winter, Polène is here to indulge fans in the perfect seasonal iteration of some of its best bags.
Fan-Favorites Get a Shearling Update
First up, there’s the feminine Polène Numéro Neuf Mini, which is a sculptural, soft take on the classic top handle bag (though it also offers a detachable strap). Defined by its soft, draped lines, the bag’s incredible attention to detail makes it a fan favorite, and it also shines in shearling.
Committing to purchasing a shearling bag is a big ask of consumers, considering it is not a bag to use year-round. Still, this bag will not only enthrall even the pickiest of luxury handbag shoppers, but its price point is incredibly affordable, which is ideal for a novelty bag of its kind. This unique, seasonal iteration is crafted of a soft Bouclé that is made fully of recycled fabrics, furthering the brand’s commitment to sustainability. Leather details complete the bag, which oozes the Parisian spirit of Polène with a fresh spin. Available in Ecru and Black shearling, retail is $350 via Polene.
Next up, there’s the Béri bag, which is crafted from the same recycled, knitted Bouclé fabric, creating a stunning shearling. The Béri is tiny, but there’s a reason this shape is highly beloved by brand loyalists, it’s simple yet eye-catching with beautiful fold work that somehow isn’t lost even on this winterized version. The Béri is also available in Ecru and Black shearling, and the retail is $290 via Polene.
While perfect for the season, these new iterations still feel inherently Polène, oozing the uniqueness and attention to detail we’ve grown to expect (and love) from the brand.
Shearling isn’t practical, but I love it! What I love more though is Polene makes great bags at reasonable prices! I hope this never changes.
So true! I want a shearling bag, but don’t want to spend $2500 on one!!
Shearling is already sold out! 😟
Hi! Look out for pre-orders sometime at the end of November!
It’s been sold out for weeks I have no idea why purseblog is advertising it.
Shearling bags were in stock at their nyc store this week .. I was there
It should say all bags are under $500 which is unheard of in that amazing quality!
I love Polène! Amazing bags for great prices!
Too bad they’re not bringing back the Numéro Deux (glad I was able to get one when they had it). And would love to see the Numéro Un in some bright colors that pop. They used to have it in a great yellow shade.
If it’s made out of recycled fabric, then it’s not shearling. Shearling is a fur product.
