Has anyone here purchased Polene bags? They were on my radar a while ago. Sad to learn of the price hikes since then and customer complaints about the reduction in quality. Are they still worth it in 2023 or nah?

I bought a polene bag (numero uno mini) in 2020 before the price hikes. The design is cute but I was underwhelmed by the leather quality (wasn’t full grain leather). However perhaps their full grain leather items are better

Interested in everyone’s opinions on replica luxury. I ask because, as noted in the previous thread re: Chanel’s price increases, the quality of authentic luxury bags is going way down while the price increases consistently. Specifically Chanel and LV. I’m fascinated in the online rep community and it looks like rep quality has increased exponentially (with genuine materials and 1:1 markings, stitching, hardware, etc). What’s your argument for or against replicas?
