Brand Story 2026
Polène Paris
Born in Paris. Crafted in Spain. Worn everywhere. How three siblings built one of the most quietly influential luxury bag brands of the decade.
The Paris Brand Behind the Bags
Polène was founded in Paris in 2016 by three siblings: Antoine, Mathieu and Amélie Mothay. Their vision was simple and radical — create bags of genuine luxury quality and sell them directly to the customer, bypassing the retail middlemen that inflate prices tenfold at traditional fashion houses.
The result is a brand in an almost impossible position: full-grain leather craftsmanship competing with Chloé and Loewe, sold at a fraction of the price. The Numéro Neuf Mini starts at €175. The Cyme at €295. No compromises — just luxury sold intelligently.
The aesthetic is unmistakably Parisian: no logos, no branding, no noise. Exceptional leather in sculptural shapes that improve with age. The Numéro Neuf's draped, hand-sewn body has become one of the most recognisable silhouettes in contemporary fashion — not because it shouts, but because it whispers.
What Makes Polène Paris Different
No logos
Polène never stamps its name on leather. The bag itself is the statement.
Sculptural design
Every model is a deliberate shape — crescent, bucket, drape. Architecture in leather.
Direct to customer
No retail markup. Every euro you spend goes to craft, not margin.
