Where to Buy Polène Bags: Boutiques by City, Online and What to Check

You can buy Polène bags at the brand’s own boutiques in Paris, New York, London, Tokyo, Seoul, Milan, Hamburg, Copenhagen and Beijing, through the brand’s own website, and in Luxury Shoes ’s Polène edit. If there is no boutique near you, the quickest route is to shortlist a model online by its exact name and dimensions, then see it in person when you next pass through one of those cities.

Polène is the Paris leather goods house founded in 2016 by Antoine, Mathieu and Elsa Mothay, and most of its bags are made in Ubrique, Spain; our Polène history covers that story. Below, I go through the boutiques the brand lists, what to check on any product page before you buy, and which shapes are worth trying on first.

Polène boutiques: the list the brand gives

The brand lists boutiques in Paris (a flagship on Rue de Richelieu and a store on the Champs-Élysées), New York (Broadway, in SoHo), Tokyo (Minami-Aoyama), Milan (Via Manzoni), Seoul (Garosu-gil), London, Hamburg (Neuer Wall), Copenhagen and Beijing. A space on Oak Street in Chicago has been leased. That is the whole list we can confirm, and I would check the brand’s own store page for opening times before you make a special trip, because those details change.

If you searched “polene near me” and none of those cities is close, you are in the same position as most people who buy the brand. The website and online edits are where the majority of shoppers start, and a boutique visit becomes a treat for a trip rather than the default.

Buying Polène online: the brand’s website and Luxury Shoes

The brand sells through its own website, which carries the complete range and the latest colours first. Luxury Handbags carries a Polène edit too, which is useful if you want to compare shapes against other bag brands on one site; our which Polène bag to buy guide is a good place to narrow things down before you browse.

The edit runs from small leather goods such as the Neiti Card Holder in Duo Camel up to roomy shoulder bags. Our guide to Polène wallets and card holders covers the smaller pieces, and the Polène mini bags guide covers the little ones that sell fastest.

What to check before you buy a Polène bag

Wherever you shop, read the product page properly. These are the points I check every time.

• The exact model name. Polène sizes share a family name, so Numéro Un, Mini, Nano and Micro are four very different bags. The Numéro Un Nano in Textured Black Bag and the Numéro Un Mini in Sand Bag look alike in photos but hold quite different amounts.
• The leather. Textured calf hides scuffs and light rain better; smooth calf shows the folds more crisply. Pale shades can pick up dye from dark and new clothes.
• Dimensions and weight. Every product page lists them. The full Numéro Un is 32 x 16.5 x 23 cm and 925 g, while the Numéro Dix is 24 x 20 x 7.5 cm and 386 g. Compare those numbers with a bag you already own; our Polène bag sizes guide lays them side by side.
• Strap drop. The Tonca strap runs 32 to 59 cm, the Nodde 30 to 62 cm and the Nodde Hobo 52 to 105 cm. That decides where a bag sits: under the arm, on the hip, across the body.
• Care. The brand advises keeping leather away from long sun and heat, water, grease and perfume, dabbing it dry with a soft cloth if it gets wet, and storing it in its dust bag without overfilling. Polène offers a repair service at cost.

Which Polène models to see in person

Some shapes photograph honestly; others only make sense on the body. These are the ones I would try on in a boutique if you get the chance.

The Cyme family is the most searched line, and the size gap between versions is easier to judge in a mirror. The Cyme Mini in Textured Cognac Bag is the everyday size, the Cyme Tote Nano in Black Cherry Bag measures 25.5 x 20 x 9 cm with a short 9.6 cm handle, and the Cyme Tote in Linden Bag is the one for a full day. Our Polène tote bags guide compares them, and the wider designer tote bags edit gives you other houses to measure against.

The Numéro Neuf changes character with size. The Numéro Neuf Mini in Textured Deep Blue Bag is compact, while the Numéro Neuf East West in Sand Bag is 32 x 37 x 13.5 cm and 540 g, big enough for an A4 notebook. Our Numéro Neuf guide goes further.

Try the Numéro Dix with both straps: the Numéro Dix in Stone Bag comes with a 138 cm strap and a 106 cm one for the waist, and the Numéro Dix Micro in Ebony Bag is its pocket-sized sibling. The Mokki Mini in Sea Foam Bag is worth handling for its two compartments; see our Mokki guide.

The softer shoulder shapes need a body to read. The Béri in Black Bag curves under the arm, and the Béri Lif in Ebony Bag stretches to 52 x 24 cm. The Nodde Hobo in Stone Bag is 26 x 28 x 6 cm and 725 g. The Shuldo in Black Bag is a large slouchy hobo with a cut-out handle and no strap, and the Neyu in Beige Bag is a long 40 x 15 x 8 cm shape in Dutch nappa calf that only makes sense once you see where it sits. The Osmo in Sand Bag, also in nappa calf, is the softest of the lot.

For smaller carries, handle the Tonca in Cognac Bag (17 x 24 x 7 cm, 366 g), the Nodde Seau in Sand Bag, and the three-pouch Boky in Textured Black Bag. The Solé in Black Bag, with its pebble pearls and removable pouch, stands 47 cm tall with the handles up. If the bag is for the office, our Polène work bag guide helps.

Where to buy Polène around the world

France

Paris has two boutiques the brand lists. The flagship is on Rue de Richelieu, and the Champs-Élysées store is the one many visitors find first. For “polene paris store” and “polene champs elysees” searches, those two are the answer.

United States

New York’s boutique is on Broadway in SoHo, a neighbourhood worth walking for its other shops. Reports note that a space on Oak Street in Chicago has been leased; check the brand’s store page before planning a visit around it. Elsewhere in the country, shoppers start online.

United Kingdom

The brand lists a London boutique. On a grey day, textured calf is the practical choice for walking between shops, and a zipped model such as the Numéro Dix keeps rain out.

Germany and Europe

Hamburg’s boutique is on Neuer Wall, Milan’s on Via Manzoni, and the brand lists one in Copenhagen too. If you live anywhere between them, a city break can double as a try-on trip.

Japan and Asia

Tokyo’s Minami-Aoyama store opened in 2023 as the brand’s first in Asia. The brand also lists boutiques in Seoul on Garosu-gil and in Beijing. Humid summers suit the zipped shapes and the lighter Tonca.

Australia and Canada

None of the boutiques the brand lists is in Australia and Canada, so shoppers there buy online, from the brand’s website and from edits like Luxury Shoes ’s. Measure a bag you own against the dimensions before you choose.
