Artistry and Innovation: Polène’s Two Iconic Silhouettes

French leather house Polène redefines contemporary luxury with its latest creations celebrating craftsmanship and environmental sustainability. From a refined shoulder bag that is destined to become an Autumn/Winter essential to limited edition Béri Lif, composed of upcycled leather. These two silhouettes highlight the brand’s dedication to leathercraft with bold artistry and unique innovation.

Designed to sit over the shoulder, the Shuldo embraces femininity through fluidity. It organically follows the outline of the individual to embrace the closeness between the bag and the body. Although its seemingly effortless look, the sculptural and natural artisanship behind it took more than a year to achieve. The philosophy behind this creation stems from Polène’s devotion to meticulously develop its designs. Crafted from 33 leather panels, hand-painted edges and eight hand-sewn stitches truly encompasses the brand’s excellent craftsmanship. Available in a palette of seven colours, the Shuldo reveals nuances with Black, Ebony, Black Cherry, Brown, Mist, Desert and Linden.

Alongside the Shuldo, Polène debuted a unique reinterpretation of its signature Béri bag with Béri Lif in the Plèi collection. In order to preserve the structure of the original, four leather panels are formed in a bow shape with a subtle clasp. While the cascading leaves have a trompe-l’oeil effect, the design is a testament to the company’s dedication to sustainability. Each leaf is composed of upcycled leather before being embroidered and meticulously handcrafted by leather artisans in Ubrique. Available in Porcelain, Ebony and Polar, the Béri Lif is truly a stand alone masterpiece. The rich artisanship and sensory exploration it allows the consumer is unlike any other.

Founded in 2016, Polène was built as a family tradition to produce high-quality pieces that last. Guided by movement, nature and the freedom of expression Polène transcends modern luxury into a work of art. The leather is exclusively sourced from Spanish and Italian leather factories. The Shuldo and Béri Lif harmoniously demonstrate Polène’s timeless craftsmanship and innovation. While the Shuldo has a unique sculpture design that provides everyday comfort, the Béri Lif offers sustainability without the compromise of luxury at its finest. These designs truly embody Polène’s philosophy of minimalistic designs that intertwine creative expression.
