The Polène Numéro Dix is one of the Parisian brand’s best sellers, and the proof (as they say) is in the pudding. Heavily beloved by stylish city dwellers from New York to Paris, the Dix is inspired by the saddlery of the equestrian world, which makes it the perfect bag to see a reinvention in celebration of the year of the Horse.
A go-to thanks to its feminine half-moon shape and curved, clean lines that hug close to the body, the Polène Numéro Dix is truly the perfect bag for running around, whether you’re heading out for shopping and brunch or have a day filled with errands—it can really do it all.
The Polène Numéro Dix: A Modern Classic
A longtime favorite of mine, thanks to its versatility in styling, its size is also ideal for my daily essentials. With dimensions of 24.5 x 20.5 x 7.5 cm, it can hold a small compact wallet (I use a card case), an iPhone, keys, lip gloss, a makeup compact, and mints.
I’ve long since thought of adding another color to my rotation, and when I saw the new Numéro Dix-Galop edition, I immediately gave it a second look, drawn in by its new details like the saddle stitch detailing and metal key ring (perfect for adding a bag charm).
A Zodiac-Inspired Update for 2026
Upon further inspection, I realized that this new iteration was actually designed specifically to commemorate 2026, and only after a second look did I recognize its significance. Its more literal equestrian details and horse-shaped charm with a hand-braided mane are an ode to the Chinese zodiac year—the year of the Horse.
The year of the Horse is significant in the Chinese zodiac, representing new beginnings, dramatic cultural shifts, and dynamic, freeing energy. While really any time of year is a good time of year to get a new bag (in our opinion), this bag represents new beginnings and an energy shift, which makes this the perfect addition to your bag rotation to commemorate the new year.
This limited edition Polène Numéro Dix is available now via Polène for $760.
I was gobsmacked recently when in Turkey – Polene has officially joined the fake market in a big way. Saw them everywhere in the markets of Istanbul.
Love this. Lovely equestrian vibes.
Just purchased!
Not for me
Absolutely stunning bag, and clever design! 👏
