The Polène Story
Polène was founded in Paris in 2016 by brothers Mathieu, Pierre, and Antoine Mothay. Coming from backgrounds in law, engineering, and business, the three brothers noticed a gap in the luxury accessories market: bags that were genuinely well-made, beautifully designed, and honestly priced — without the heritage markup of established maisons.
They launched Polène as a direct-to-consumer brand, cutting out wholesale and retail margins to offer full-grain calfskin bags at roughly a third of the price of comparable luxury labels. The brand grew almost entirely through word-of-mouth and organic social media, with no traditional advertising or department store presence.
Today, Polène ships to over 100 countries and has become one of the most recognised accessible luxury brands in the world. The design studio remains in Paris; the bags are still made in Spain at the same family atelier as when the brand began.
