Just when you think the cloud-like silhouette of the Numéro Neuf can’t get any better, Polène Paris springs a surprise update. Meet the Numéro Neuf East-West, a clever reinterpretation that elongates the handle for easy shoulder carry, while maintaining the sculptural silhouette everyone loves.

The OG is already a delightful study in supple, draped leather and organic curves. The new version is much the same, except it stretches into a sleek, horizontal profile measuring 37 cm across. It holds more than you expect, while bringing extra function with a new zip closure, replacing the original magnetic one. Daily use suddenly feels more secure and travel-ready.
Polène removes the shoulder sling on the Numéro Neuf East-West, but keeps a ring loop at the side. Clip on your favourite bag charm or AirPods holder to give it a fun twist. Seven gorgeous colours await, crafted in textured full-grain calf leather by artisans in Ubrique, Spain. Choose from moodier tones like Black, Black Cherry and Ebony, or softer hues such as Camel, Chalk, Sand and Taupe.
Retailing at USD610, the Numéro Neuf East-West is available at Polène’s online store, with direct shipping to Singapore. A fresh silhouette and everyday ease? Yes, please.
