Polène Size Guide —
Every Model's Dimensions & What Fits Inside
Before buying a Polène bag, size matters. This complete guide gives you exact centimetre dimensions for every model, a visual comparison, and a practical breakdown of what you can actually carry day to day.
Why Polène Sizing Can Be Tricky
Polène bags are known for their sculptural, architectural silhouettes — which means official photos can be deceiving. A bag that looks substantial in a lookbook shot may be more compact in real life, while others surprise you with their practical interior space.
All measurements below are Width × Height × Depth in centimetres, measured at the widest point of each bag. Note that structured bags like the Cyme offer more usable interior volume than crescent-shaped bags like the Numéro Dix, even when overall dimensions look similar.
Whether you are looking for a compact evening bag, a structured work tote, or a roomy everyday carry, this Polène size guide will help you find the right model.

Which Polène Size Is Right for You?
For a compact evening or weekend bag
Choose the Cyme Mini (22×15×8 cm) or the Numéro Un Nano (16×13×5 cm). Both hold your essentials without bulk — perfect for dinners, cultural events, and short trips.
For an everyday carry bag
The Numéro Dix (28×20×6 cm) is the best-seller for good reason. Its crescent silhouette holds all daily essentials in a slim, comfortable profile. The Cyme Standard (28×19×10 cm) is ideal if you prefer more structure.
For a work tote
The Mokki Standard (30×22×12 cm) is the largest Polène bag and can accommodate a 13-inch laptop, documents, and a full day's essentials. The Cyme Standard is a more structured alternative with excellent organisation.
For travel
Pair a Mokki Standard as your personal item with a Numéro Dix or Cyme Mini for outings. The Tonca (26×20×8 cm) is another excellent choice — structured yet versatile.
For a gift
When buying as a gift and you are unsure of the recipient's needs, the Numéro Neuf Mini (22×16×9 cm) is a safe choice — universally flattering, compact yet practical, and one of the most recognisable Polène shapes.
Understanding Polène's Mini vs Standard Sizing
Most Polène models come in two sizes: a Standard and a Mini. The naming is straightforward, but the size difference is meaningful — typically around 6 cm in width and 3–4 cm in height. If you carry a full wallet, sunglasses, and a notebook regularly, always choose the Standard.
The Mini is best if you prefer to travel light, carry only essentials, or want a bag that transitions easily from day to evening. Many customers own both sizes: a Standard for work days and a Mini for evenings or weekends.
Polène does not currently offer an XL or oversized version of any model, keeping the brand focused on refined, portable luxury rather than oversized totes.
