Founded in 2016 in Paris, Polène has quickly established itself in the accessible luxury sector thanks to its artisanal craftsmanship and elegant, timelessly designed bags. The brand distinguishes itself through the use of high-quality leathers and its minimalist approach, offering a luxury experience that is both refined and modern. In just a few years, Polène has won over a loyal clientele, becoming a key player in the world of high-end leather goods.

 

The impact of the LVMH takeover and growing demand

By 2025, prices for Polène bags had risen significantly, which surprised some consumers. The LVMH-backed private equity firm acquired a minority stake in the French leather goods brand. This event enabled Polène to enhance its reputation and cope with increased demand. Its success is due to its rapid expansion in New York, Tokyo and Seoul.

LVMH, expert in luxury brand management, has repositioned Polène in the high-end luxury market. This strategic shift involves raising prices to align the brand with the group's major houses. This will enable Polène to reinforce its prestige image and become even more exclusive. 


In 2025, Polène's most valuable bag is the Cyme Mini, up from €330 to €380, an increase of around 20%.

Polène's growth and increasing demand


In 2025, the brand is experiencing a real craze, with demand rising steadily. The greater the demand, the higher the prices, and Polène plays on this scarcity to enhance the value of its products.

Rising production costs
LVMH, by integrating even more exclusive materials, has further reinforced this trend. The use of rare leathers and high-end finishes entails higher production costs, which are directly reflected in the price of the bags.

In conclusion, the increase in Polène bag prices in 2025 is the result of a combination of factors: the brand's repositioning strategy under LVMH, rapid growth and increasing demand for its products, and rising raw material costs. For consumers, this means more exclusive and rarer bags, but also an investment commensurate with their desirability.
