HOP TO IT: As Polène gears up to land in China, the French leather goods brand has launched its first Mid-Autumn Festival Asia-exclusive design.
Limited to 250 pieces, the Numéro Dix Edition Tsuki purse is a micro version of its half-moon-shaped crossbody model, originally inspired by equestrian codes.
A detachable rabbit charm sits on the strap, in a nod to one of the main characters of the festival’s founding myth.
