Polène
Discover the art of sculptural fluidity. The is a quintessential example of Polène’s philosophy: distinct architectural lines softened by beautiful organic curves.
A sculptural tote bag designed to support city life and carry a computer. Formed of waves, folds, and rounded edges, the bag can take on two shapes. The first is a basket, its sides open, its straps on the outside. The second is a floral, closed bag, its sides tucked in, its straps crossing on the inside. Its pair of straps allow it to be carried in the hand or worn on the shoulder. Its name was inspired by the French word “cime”, meaning a peak or mountain crest, in reference to the ridge running along it.
Editor’s Styling Note

The true beauty of this is its sheer versatility toelevates a simple weekend outfit of vintage denim and a white tee just as effectively as it complements a sharply tailored blazer for the office.”
