Polène: Parisian Elegance Meets Contemporary Craft
Founded in 2016 by three siblings in Paris, Polène has carved out a niche as a modern leather goods label that blends timeless minimalism with artisanal excellence. Inspired by French haute couture legends like Madeleine Vionnet, Madame Grès, and Mariano Fortuny, the brand captures the refined, effortlessly elegant essence of Paris through its sculptural silhouettes and luxurious materials.
Each Polène piece is handcrafted in Ubrique, Spain — a town renowned for its generations of leatherworking expertise. Designed with the modern woman in mind, these bags are not only beautiful but made for real life, transitioning seamlessly from daytime meetings to evening dates, much like the quintessential Parisienne.
2025 Polène x Róisín Pierce: Where Minimalism Meets Embellishment
In a poetic union of structure and softness, Polène partners for the first time with Irish designer Róisín Pierce, known for her elaborate, hand-sewn womenswear. The collaboration debuted during Paris Fashion Week at the Irish Embassy in Paris, offering an intimate, artful conversation between French leathercraft and Celtic romanticism.
The capsule introduces two standout designs: Button Bow Box and Button Bow Sphere, inspired by Pierce’s signature embroidery and pleated motifs. Sculptural and tactile, each piece features meticulously stitched leather bows and button-like embellishments that mimic delicate lacework. Crafted entirely by hand in Ubrique, these bags merge Polène’s structured elegance with Pierce’s soft visual poetry.
Available in Porcelain White, Cloud Blue, and Ink Black, the designs are made from premium full-grain Nappa leather sourced from the Netherlands—natural, untreated, and unapologetically luxurious.
Mokki Mini: A Foldable Ode to Home
Drawing from Finnish design and spirit, the Mokki Mini (“mokki” means “cabin” in Finnish) is Polène’s warmest interpretation of architectural leatherwork yet. Composed of 36 folded leather panels, it plays with light, shadow, and texture in a graceful expression of modern softness.
Featuring supple grained leather on the outside and smooth leather lining at the edges, Mokki Mini is as functional as it is artful—equipped with layered compartments, a lockable flap, foam-reinforced handles, and an adjustable strap for versatile wear. Whether in hand or over the shoulder, it offers a sense of comfort and elegance on the go.
Neyu: Movement in Leather
Sculpted to flow with the body, the Neyu bag celebrates kinetic beauty through its organic curves and gentle pleats. Handmade from soft Nappa leather in Ubrique, it hugs the body naturally, adapting gracefully whether worn crossbody or on the shoulder.
Named after the Japanese word “shinayaka” (meaning graceful movement) and a play on the English phrase “near you,” Neyu evokes intimacy, fluidity, and emotional design.
Nodde Seau: A New Silhouette in a Signature Series
Expanding the brand’s beloved Nodde line, the new Nodde Seau introduces a bucket-style silhouette with a cinched top and a softly slouched structure. Crafted from pliable leather, it comes in sophisticated hues like Black, Ivory, Cognac, Misty Gray, and a fresh seasonal tone: Seafoam Blue.
Solé Summer Shades: Seafoam, Oat, and Salt Rose
As part of the Plèi Collection, the Solé bag arrives in three ethereal summer shades: Seafoam (inspired by ocean clarity), Oat (evoking sun-dried flora), and Salt Rose (drawn from the colors of a salt flat).
Each bag is embellished with 240 glossy pebble-like beads, hand-tied on waxed cotton threads and bordered with handcrafted tassels. Made in France, Solé is a testament to how artisanal techniques can elevate the everyday.
Cyme Mini Woven Edition: The Art of Contrast
The Cyme Mini Woven Edition merges lightweight cotton canvas with bold leather accents in Cognac or Black, balancing natural texture with rich, structured detailing. Versatile as both a tote and basket-style carryall, it perfectly suits life between city streets and weekend escapes.
Osmo: Architectural Harmony in Motion
A bold exploration of geometry and grace, Osmo is Polène’s ode to minimalist architecture. Designed with modular leather panels and sculptural softness, it redefines elegance in everyday form. Handcrafted from supple Nappa leather, the bag features a top flap, contoured lines, and visible stitch detailing that feels both industrial and poetic.
Offered in a palette of Chalk White, Cognac, Ebony, and Black (with tonal or contrast stitching), Osmo is designed to be worn comfortably short on the shoulder, with a hidden dip at the top that contours the body.
Numéro Neuf Mini – Wilo: Fringe That Flows Like Nature
Part of the brand’s sustainability-focused Plèi series, the Numéro Neuf Mini – Wilo is made from repurposed leather and designed as a wearable art piece. Its 176 hand-cut fringes, layered in three lengths, are inspired by the gentle sway of willow trees.
Requiring over 10 hours of labor and two artisans per bag, Wilo proves that eco-conscious design can be both exquisite and expressive. When worn, the fringe dances with every step—a poetic blend of nature, craftsmanship, and movement.
With each new release, Polène continues to deepen its dialogue between Parisian refinement, sustainable luxury, and sculptural design. Whether you’re a longtime devotee or a curious newcomer, this summer collection offers not just accessories, but pieces with soul, ready to accompany every moment of your life story.
