Re: Mlouye Mini Flex Bag: An Unsponsored Review

Unacceptable experience with @Mlouye. My order has been stuck for 21 days in Turkish Customs (shipped from Turkey, not the "Europe" they advertise). They refused to address the delivery failure, fix the export issue, or even reply to my final request for resolution. Total service failure and zero transparency. Do not recommend. #Mlouye #CustomerServiceFail #DeliveryFail

It's reinforced but not super stiff - so it'll still bend a bit for that slounchy vibe!

This bag is very tempting. Does the bottom have some structure or stiffness?

Hi Lia! I wear this a lot with white tops, and haven't noticed any color transfer.

Thanks so much for this review! Have you noticed any color transfer from the outside of the bag? I thought I saw that in the negative reviews.

Hi Kristy, I recently purchased a preloved polene numero dix, can I send you a photo to verify if its authentic ? I would really appreciate your help.

I actually bought Alohas sneakers 7month ago and they already broke. Barely wore them and got a really bad contact with customer service who are refusing to to replace their defective product- not recommended!

yep, that one! Thanks a lot for your reply! I am happy I have not picked it up, and it was sent back!

Hi Marketa! If you mean an additional piece of plain leather attached to the bag with a removable metal loop, yes, that is typically a sign of a fake bag.

Hello Kristy, quick question - is the leather part of the tag a sign of a fake bag? I might have just ordered a fake, so I would appreciate your insight. Thanks a lot!

Congrats! I also found some Hatch items secondhand on TheRealReal that worked well during pregnancy and postpartum. Also, thank you for linking that Menswear Guide to Pregnancy Fashion - it is so good!

Thank you so much for this round up! All of these brands except for Quince are new to me. I haven’t bought a new bag in literally years so I’m very out of loop.

No help with return code problem.

No return code printed on bag or anywhere else - I contacted Trashie for help, and sent a photo of the QR code as requested. It’s been at least a week or more with no response from Trashie except more ads to purchase their service.

I just saw that the same seller who sold me the Polene Beri bag in lilac just listed the same exact bag with same description and same photos of the listing of the one I purchased! I'm so concerned now that mine is a fake, I would otherwise say this is absolutely a fake, but wow it looks so perfect. Even smells like real leather. So confused..

Thank you so much! Looking forward to using it this spring/summer. And thank you so much for your help and for responding, I really appreciate it. :)

You should be good then, enjoy your bag! The Beri still remains one of my favorite Polene styles.

The "Made in Spain" in all caps happened around the time of their rebranding starting mid-2023. And it looks like the white tag was only introduced recently in the last few months - here is an older (but still with new rebrand) unboxing where there is no white tag inside: https://www.tiktok.com/@cha...

Thanks so much for your reply. It feels very substantial, not like the dupes which tend to be floppy, and has that leather smell. And funny you mention about the shine; it is not shiny at all, which I was worried about, but I guess that's a good thing? My only concern was the Made in Spain, which looks like is fine that it is all caps, and the missing white tag inside; but my Numero Sept purchased around 2021 directly from Polene doesn't have a white tag and I looked at a ton of online reviews and looks like some of the Beri bags don't have a tag inside and some do. So if that's the only thing, looks like it's real? Also the interior is that burgundy twill lining very similar to my other Polene bags and I feel that is not replicated in the fakes. The box is the more recent Polene box with that faded Polene branding and has a little sticker on the side that says Beri, the tag is the more recent tags Polene is using, tissue paper is similar to what I'm seeing in unboxing videos and the dust bag is exactly that exterior canvas-like feel and softer material on the inside just like the one for my Neuf mini. So I think I scored a real one??

Hi Rin! I am not aware of Polene using serial codes or numbers on their bags - especially on any bags made in 2024 or earlier.

Re: How to Spot a Fake Polene Bag

Kristy — Fri, 07 Feb 2025 17:58:12 -0000

Hi Maggie - my Beri / Onze was an older version, so some of the details have changed since the rebranding. However, I checked my newer bags (Neiti and Ilo), and the "Made in Spain" is in all caps in a thin font. Re: the white tag, I found this recent unboxing video on TikTok and it does appear to have it at the 45 second mark: https://www.tiktok.com/@reb...

For the Beri, I'd say if the leather feels sturdy without being overly shiny, then there is a good chance it is authentic. Hope that helps!

Hey there, hope you can see this - but I saw your posts about fake polene bags and see you have the Beri in lilac. I just bought the Beri in lilac from eBay and wanted to ask if you have a little white tag on the interior of your bag? And is the "Made in Spain" on the little pocket in all caps? Thanks so much for your help.

Rin — Sat, 01 Feb 2025 19:57:33 -0000

Hello! I hope you could help me, I am planning to purchase a pre-loved Numero Un but want to be sure that it is authentic. Does Poléne bag use serial/code number on their bags? I've seen some posts on ebay from different sellers claiming they're authentic. Some does have codes in numbers and some does not have. Thanks in advance
