Pants: Z Supply xs (7 colours; additionally at Shopbop)
Sneakers: Madewell 5H
Equipment: Edited Pieces mini belt xxs and ring 5

Final spring I shared a review of my No. 8 mini bucket which, on the time, was my most reached for Poléne purse. Whereas I nonetheless discover the No. 8 to be timeless, the No. 1 / Numero Un Nano has surged into the lead as considered one of my most used baggage on the whole, so it feels about time to share an in depth assessment! In disclosure, I acquired this bag as a press present over a yr in the past and am beneath no obligation to publish about it.

Coloration, High quality & Design

With over 15 colours to select from on this fashion, I debated endlessly between textured Tan and Chalk. Whereas I ended up going with Chalk (pale ivory with cool gray notes), I noticed the Tan up shut on a good friend and nonetheless can’t get it out of my thoughts!

The fashion of the No. 1 Nano is stylish but sensible for me, becoming my necessities and permitting me to be palms free across the youngsters (I’ll normally have a diaper backpack or tote within the stroller). I completely love the mini high deal with design that may be both hand carried or worn crossbody.

High quality sensible, I’ve talked about earlier than that the model is based in France with all baggage handcrafted in Spain. I’ve but to have any points or seen put on on my textured leather-based Poléne baggage and really feel they’re stable high quality. In case you have a European journey deliberate, I don’t know precise pricing variations, however I’m fairly certain that is a type of manufacturers that’s cheaper to purchase over there (pls chime in on this in the event you’ve purchased one overseas!).

I normally match all the above objects inside, plus my keys and a granola bar for a hungry child.

Notable Options

• Flap closure with magnetic button is fast and straightforward to open and shut.
• The highest opening has a pleated design (see under) which opens up large, making it simple to achieve for and entry objects inside. There’s little snap buttons securing the pleated opening, however I hold them unsnapped for ease and the bag flap closes simply nice. Additionally, I believe frequent snapping and unsnapping may trigger pointless put on and tear on the leather-based round that space.
• The bottom of the bag is flat, which lays comfortably towards my hip when crossbody.
• Gold toes on the underside to guard the bag.
• The chalk textured leather-based is a really sturdy coated leather-based with a crosshatch texture. It’s been pretty water-proof and straightforward to wipe clear.
• Small again pocket and small pocket inside to suit playing cards.
• The crossbody strap size is petite pleasant. I’m 5 toes tall and there’s even 1 extra setting to regulate it 1 inch shorter, if wanted. Sarah on our EP group is 5’11” and talked about the strap on the longer setting additionally fits her comfortably.

Compared to the No. 1 Nano, it’s sister kinds classic No. 1 bag (see my ideas under) has the identical design however is far bigger, and their No. 1 mini has no high deal with and comes with an adjustable chain strap. In abstract, right here’s my predominant execs & concerns for this bag:

How the No.1 Nano seems on somebody taller

Sarah on our EP group has the identical No. 1 Nano within the enjoyable “trio camel textured leather-based”, proven under towards her 5’11” body. She talked about that she normally hand carries hers with the highest deal with, however that the crossbody strap on the longest setting hits comfortably proper at her hip.

Fast assessment: the Classic No. 1 Bag (bigger dimension)

I additionally acquired the bigger Traditional No. 1 in Trio Sands final yr as a present, and whereas it’s a fantastically crafted bag, the sunshine coloration suede on this precise coloration feels delicate. I don’t use this bag a lot, as I’m afraid it’s going to get soiled if I’m not cautious with fingerprints or lotioned palms.

Personally, I a lot choose the textured coated leather-based on my Nano, which a number of Traditional colorways additionally do are available in. It’s not all the time clear which colorways embrace suede vs all leather-based, however my finest tip is to look carefully on the thumbnails you click on to pick out a selected coloration. The colours which have some texture to them appear to be absolutely leather-based baggage.

I additionally wished to say that the bigger Traditional dimension can be weighty, even with out a lot inside, so in the event you load it up with every day requirements for an workplace job then it will get heavy.

I’ve discovered this bag very simple to decorate up or down, from extra elegant outfits like this slip skirt look under to tremendous informal with sweats and sneakers!
