Polène Paris - The "low-key" bag brand that changed the luxury goods game

Along with brands like Celine and Bottega Veneta, Polène's pieces are made with impeccable quality and timeless design – and come at an affordable price point.

Polène, a luxury leather goods brand from Paris, was founded in 2016 by three siblings, inspired by the work of renowned designers such as Madeleine Vionnet, Madam Grès and Mariano Fortuny. With “Paris” as its inspiration, the brand aims to convey minimalist sophistication, premium leather and timeless beauty, reflecting the elegant and glamorous style of Paris.

Polène bags are made in the small town of Ubrique, Spain, which is renowned for its leather craftsmanship. Experienced craftsmen ensure that each product is not only durable, but also feels and looks great.

When designing her first bags, Polène kept the everyday needs of working women in mind, wanting to create an accessory that was both elegant and suitable for both the workday and an evening out. These bags exuded confidence and sophistication, like a true Parisian woman.

The bags are crafted from exclusive leather sources certified by the International Leather Working Group.

Launched in summer 2022, the Yké Rattan Basket is a work of art handcrafted in Spain, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship. With a unique design, soft leather petals are wrapped around a sturdy rattan base, creating the perfect balance between aesthetics and durability. The delicately carved handles, combined with a luxurious gold metal lock, bring a captivating beauty.

This new product will be available in classic colours such as warm cognac, elegant light brown and mysterious black, along with the latest versions, sure to captivate fashion lovers.

Number One

The "Numéro Un" handbag stands out with its classic and timeless tailoring design. With its soft curves, the bag is not only an accessory but also a work of art, perfectly reflecting the unique personality and temperament of a woman. This is Polène's most classic masterpiece, offering unmistakable elegance and style.

Numero Dix Series X

The Numéro Dix Series X handbag is inspired by the equestrian wardrobe and equestrian rules, and is crafted with premium details such as curved belts, luxurious cowhide seals, along with precise craftsmanship and delicate hand stitching.

The bag is equipped with two adjustable shoulder straps of different sizes (106cm and 128cm), providing flexibility for the user. You can easily choose how to wear it: long crossbody, short shoulder or elbow, all of which bring unique beauty and style.

Number Neuf Series IX

The Numéro Neuf Series IX handbag is the perfect expression of versatility and balance, with its seductive shape and elegant lines. The delicate pleats on the bag not only demonstrate the mastery of craftsmanship but also celebrate the wonderful feel of the lychee calfskin, meticulously crafted by talented artisans in Spain.

Solé, the newest bag of 2024

In Polène's new "Plèi" collection, the brand has applied French biotechnology to recycle leather, transforming Solé into a bag that sparkles like pearls.

With 240 pearls made from recycled leather scraps, this is more than just an accessory, it is a symbol of innovation and individuality. To create the black, light brown and ebony hues, the leather scraps are sorted and crushed into fine sand grains, then combined with biopolymers to form a new composition. The brand uses custom molds to shape the natural pearls, heating the material at high temperatures to produce delicate round pearls from the leather sand.

The Solé bag is the perfect blend of recycling, creativity and craftsmanship. Each pearl is threaded through nearly 33 metres of rope, forming a web with 120 hand-tied knots.

  Mokki

Mokki is a delicately pleated work of art, with craftsmanship at every corner, revealing smooth patches of cowhide. The outer layer is protected by lychee cowhide, giving it a durable and luxurious look. The delicate seams and striking edge dyeing not only enhance the beauty of the lines but also demonstrate the talent of the craftsmen in Ubrique, a town famous for its leather goods in Spain.

The bag's name, "Mokki", comes from the Finnish word for "cabin". When you open the bag, you will discover a spacious quilted interior, with the Polène logo engraved on a luxurious gold buckle. At the bottom, the shiny studs are highlighted with the Polène logo, adding a touch of design. With a wide shoulder strap, the bag can be worn cross-body or over the shoulder, suitable for all daily needs, while the rounded handles provide a comfortable and pleasant feel.

Nodde

Launched in 2023, the "Nodde" impresses with its design made from two identical pieces of leather, cleverly interwoven with staggered lines and delicate stitching, creating a perfectly symmetrical shape.

Inspired by the aesthetic of a gilet, the Nodde is crafted from handcrafted and reinforced leather for a soft, alluring effect. Round metal pieces encased in leather add a touch of luxury to the design, while the bag is also entirely made from smooth cowhide, underlining the quality and attention to detail of the collection.
