You fell for a shape, not a price tag
The Numéro Dix is a beautiful bag, and that rounded, saddle-inspired shape is why so many people want one. But a lot of us sound like this buyer: "I loooove looking at expensive bags I will never be able to afford." Or this one: "just a girl on a single income hoping for an affordable leather bag."
So here are the facts side by side, from each brand's own page.

Choose the Numéro Dix if the name matters most
It's certified Italian leather, made by hand in Ubrique, Spain. It comes with two straps and ships by express. If that's worth $620 or more to you, it's a lovely bag.
Choose the Coquille if you'll wear it every single day
A bag you carry daily should make daily life easier. The Coquille has its own phone pocket and two zip pockets, so your phone never sinks to the bottom. One adjustable strap takes it from crossbody, hands free, to shoulder. Six colors, each shown in a real photo. And it costs about a seventh of the price, so you can actually use it without worrying about it.

Is the Coquille a Polène?
No. It's our own bag, sold by Sami Maison. We're not affiliated with Polène; we compare the two because people looking at one often look at the other.
Is it real leather?
Our maker lists it as oil-wax cowhide, and that's what we state on the page.
How big is it?
About 9 x 5.9 x 3.9 in: a phone, a slim wallet and keys. The drawing above shows it next to the Numéro Dix at the same scale.
How long does delivery take, and what if I don't love it?
Free US shipping, most orders in 5 to 10 business days with tracking by email. You have 30 days from delivery to send it back, with a free return label once your return is accepted.
