Closest Leather & Colour to Natural Barenia?

[fuzzymckee]

Hi,

It seems that obtaining an all Natural Barenia Birkin is like waiting for hell to freeze over! So I just wanted to ask the experts, what would be the closest leather/colour combination to Natural Barenia? Someone mentioned that Gold in Swift would be pretty close....is that correct?

Thanks in advance!

hi, i might be wrong but i think one of the ladies were saying that FAUVE in tadeklakt or swift is the closest color to barenia. hth

I heard somewhere that noisette in box is also a good proxy.

Is Barenia more expensive than Fauve tadelakt?

noisette in box calf or maybe gold in swift

I am sitting around waiting for repairmen to show up, took some comparison pictures of natural barenia vs fauve tadelakt for you.

Nothing close to barenia, just the regular pleasant leather scent...
