The Best Polène Crossbody Bags, Ranked by Size and Strap

Not every Polène bag goes across the body. The Cyme, the Shuldo and the East West are shoulder and hand bags, and buyers find that out after the fact. This list covers only the styles Polène itself says can be worn crossbody, with the strap length and the real capacity of each, so you can choose by how you live rather than by photo.

Key facts

• Longest strap: Numéro Dix, 138 cm, plus a second short strap.
• Most organised: Boky, three pouches, two of them zipped.
• Smallest: Numéro Un Micro, 10 x 10 x 5 cm, worn crossbody and around the neck.
• Zipped: Numéro Dix, Nodde and Boky (two of its three pouches).
• Not crossbody: Cyme, Cyme Mini, Shuldo, Numéro Neuf East West and Large.
• The house: Polène was founded in Paris in 2016 by the siblings Antoine, Mathieu and Elsa Mothay, and its bags are made by leather artisans in Ubrique, in Andalusia, Spain.

How to choose a crossbody length

A strap of around 120 to 140 cm sits across the body at hip height on most adults; a strap under 100 cm usually sits higher, near the waist, and works better on the shoulder. That is why the Numéro Dix (138 cm) and Numéro Un Nano (132 cm) are the most comfortable crossbody Polènes, while the Numéro Neuf Mini (98 cm) and Numéro Sept (87 cm) wear higher.

For travel

Choose a zip. The Numéro Dix and the Nodde close with a zip, and the Boky has two zipped pouches. Magnetic closures, on the Numéro Un and Neuf, are quick but less secure in crowds.

For a full day

The Mokki, at 32.5 cm wide, and the Numéro Un, at 32 x 23 cm, are the largest crossbody shapes and take a full-size wallet. See the Mokki guide.

Smooth and textured leather on a crossbody

A crossbody bag rubs against coats, belts and the hip all day, so the finish matters more than on a hand-carried bag. Textured calf hides that wear best and is the default on most of these styles. Smooth calf, as on the Nodde and some Numéro Dix colours, looks sleeker and develops more patina, and marks show sooner. Nubuck, like this season’s crocodile-embossed Numéro Dix, is the most delicate and is best kept for dry days.

Wearing a crossbody well

Wear the bag at the hip, not at the stomach, and on the opposite side to your dominant hand, so you can open it without taking it off. Over a coat, lengthen the strap a notch; with a fitted top, shorten it so the bag does not swing. A small bag on a long strap looks relaxed; a medium bag on a short strap looks smarter.

For evening

The Numéro Un Nano and the Mokki Mini are small enough for dinner and still hold a phone. See Polène mini bags compared.
