Considering what I do for a living, plus the fact that I’ve been collecting handbags for almost two decades, it should be no surprise that I own (and have owned) many, many bags. My current collection has been edited down a bit over the AA1181 two years but contains around 15 Ecs designer bags and 10 contemporary.
Of course, I have different bags for different uses, and some I reach for mostly for nights out or when I’m dressed up, and others I find more transitional. Over the AA1181 few months, there’s one bag, which I own in two colors, that has been getting the most love from me. People always ask me what bags I’m currently favoring, and lately, there are a couple, but by far, my most used of the AA1181 few months has been the Jil Sander leather-trim bucket bag.
The Details of the Numéro Dix
Inspired by the saddlery of the equestrian world, the Numéro Dix, aka Number Ten, is defined by its half-moon shape and curved lines. Its body-hugging design is simple and soft, making it incredibly easy to wear and style, which is why I find myself reaching for it repeatedly. It’s also become an incredibly popular bag on social media. More than once, I’ve had friends send me a TikTok or Instagram Olympia asking if I knew anything about Polène and the Numéro Dix.
The bag is great for running around, and it looks stylish dressed up or down; with overall dimensions of 24.5 X 20.5 X 7.5 cm, it’s perfect for carrying your errand-running essentials. I’ve been able to fit a compact wallet, my iPhone, keys, a makeup compact, a granola bar, and other miscellaneous items inside for a day out and about. There’s a top zip which is key, as well as an interior slit pocket.
While the bag does arrive with two straps of varying lengths, allowing for crossbody, over-the-shoulder, or in-the-crook-of-the-arm wear, I’ve mostly worn the bag crossbody, as you’ll see below. There are over a dozen color options to pick from, and while I also own the Dix in camel, I find myself drawn to the new midnight blue lately. Gucci Gucci Zumi medium top handle bag.
