Last spring I shared a review of my No. 8 mini bucket which, at the time, was my most reached for Poléne handbag. While I still find the No. 8 to be timeless, the No. 1 / Numero Un Nano has surged into the lead as one of my most used bags in general, so it feels about time to share a detailed review!

Color, Quality & Design
With over 15 colors to choose from in this style, I debated endlessly between textured Tan and Chalk. While I ended up going with Chalk (pale ivory with cool grey notes), I saw the Tan up close on a friend and still can’t get it out of my mind!
The style of the No. 1 Nano is chic yet practical for me, fitting my essentials and allowing me to be hands free around the kids (I’ll usually have a diaper backpack or tote in the stroller). I absolutely love the mini top handle design that can be either hand carried or worn crossbody.
Quality wise, I’ve mentioned before that the brand is founded in France with all bags handcrafted in Spain. I’ve yet to have any issues or visible wear on my textured leather Poléne bags and feel they’re solid quality. If you have a European trip planned, I don’t know exact pricing differences, but I’m pretty sure this is one of those brands that’s cheaper to buy over there (pls chime in on this if you’ve bought one abroad!).
I usually fit all of the above items inside, plus a key and a granola bar for a hungry kid.
