I decided the other day to treat myself to some cute summer accessories, so, of course, I headed straight to the site of one of my favorite Paris-based designers, Polène. Because let me tell you: When I'm wearing a Polène bag, my outfit just looks that much chicer. Maybe it's because each bag is handcrafted in Spain and the quality is impeccable, or maybe it's because the designs and colors are classic and unique all at the same time. (I'm looking at you, Numéro Dix—aka the half-moon, half-hobo bag of my dreams.) All I know is that the brand will never steer me wrong—even fashion people around the globe agree. Keep scrolling for more reasons I'm obsessed with the designs, and snatch up the pieces I guarantee will elevate your summer wardrobe.
Reason 1: The Timeless Colors
Reason 2: The Impeccable Quality
Reason 3: The Unique Minimalist Designs
