Pretty In Pink: Styling My New Polène Handbag

I’m Valentine’s Day ready in this cozy pink look, but the real treat is my brand new Polène handbag 😍💗✨ Isn’t she a beauty?! I have been eyeing this brand for the last several years thanks to other bloggers and influencers who have been wearing these bags all over Instagram and TikTok. I was immediately drawn to their unique designs and what appeared to be high-quality construction (now that I own a bag I can fully attest to this), so I decided to browse their website and see what their full range of styles entailed. I originally thought they might just have a few key styles and basic colors to choose from, but I was seriously mistaken and blown away by the vast assortment and color range that they offer!

Polène has 15 core bag silhouettes in their lineup with a wide array of colors to choose from like rich neutrals, soft pastels, and seasonal hues to match your mood. I meant what I said earlier when I was drawn to their unique designs and this crossbody was no exception. This is the Tonca style in their lighter blush pink shade and it’s even more beautiful in person (if that’s possible)! It’s a very pale blush pink that looks more beige/neutral in certain lighting making it very versatile and wearable with a lot of different outfits. The other selling point for me on these handbags is the reasonable price point. I love designer bags as much as the next girl, but it’s not always realistic to spend upwards of $1,500 on a handbag (or multiple bags for that matter). With Polène you’re getting quality leather craftsmanship for a fraction of the price since most of their bags start out just north of $300. That’s exactly why I bought 2 of them because I didn’t feel like I was breaking the bank! The other bag I ordered is arriving next month so stay tuned for another post on that 😉

I was also incredibly impressed with the packaging when it arrived! You can head over to my Instagram for a full unboxing video, but wow I’ve never seen anything packaged so well. The bag was fully encased in bubble wrap and exquisitely wrapped in tissue paper all done inside a beautiful white box. I almost didn’t want to open it and ruin their handiwork…but that feeling didn't last very long 😂 I felt like a kid on Christmas opening the box and discovering this gem nestled inside. I took her out for the first time this past weekend and got so many compliments! And now several of my friends and even my mom want a Polène bag too! I can’t wait to continue wearing this style and for my other bag to arrive, so stay tuned for a full handbag review once I get that one in the mail.

Have you heard of Polène and do you own any of their bags? I’d love to hear your thoughts too! xo
