Polène Paris is ushering in the Year of the Horse with a refined reinvention of one of its most recognisable designs. Meet the Numéro Dix Galop edition, an equestrian-inspired take on the cult-favourite half-moon bag. Created as an ode to the horse’s strength, movement and quiet elegance, it feels both timely and timeless.
Designed to celebrate the Lunar New Year, the design draws directly from the world of horse riding. At the same time, it translates those codes into the Parisian brand’s signature language of contemporary minimalism and craftsmanship. Crafted from smooth full-grain calf leather in a rich cognac hue, the softly rounded silhouette mirrors the curve of a saddle.
Every detail feels meticulously thought out, and even the adjustable strap is a nod to classic equestrian accessories. It reinforces the Numéro Dix Galop’s functional elegance while adding visual interest. Meanwhile, a horse-shaped charm with a hand-braided mane injects energy and vitality. Hand-sewn saddle stitching further references traditional leatherwork.
Measuring 24 cm by 20 cm by 7.5 cm, the bag also features a D-ring on the front for easy accessorising. Two adjustable straps offer styling flexibility for different moods and moments. Either use the longer strap for crossbody or shoulder wear, or switch to the shorter option as a waist or baguette bag. An interior pocket and zip closure also keep essentials organised and secure.
The Numéro Dix Galop edition sits slightly above the regular range in price, reflecting its special status. Retailing at USD760, the limited-edition style is available exclusively online at Polène. Ready to spring into the year ahead with grace?
