Everything Barenia Faubourg

I know it can be confusing with different leathers called similar names, but this thread is for Barenia Faubourg only.

For the original (smooth) Barenia please post here:

Ode to Barenia - please show your bags and accessories :o)

It’s starting to subtly get more of a copper(?) tone to it over time. The pics don’t quite capture the color accurately. I’ve noticed the softening as well...which is fine, I love a floopy Birkin. This is all happening despite her not being used as much as you’d think. Maybe once or twice every two weeks or so. Very light use as I rotate my other bags into use.

The speed at which she’s evolving is surprisingly quick.

Thanks for the description. Although it looks to have softened it still seems to have good structure, if that makes sense? Mine is still in the stiff phase. Ive carried mine all week to work for about a month but it’s only outside for approximately 30 seconds so that’s probably why I haven’t seen as much of a development.

May I ask, is there a big price difference between BF and Togo?

If I recall correctly, there is only about a $1,200-1,500 price difference from Togo. Totally worth it [emoji173]️

Check out the 2018 price thread. I know the price for a 30cm is listed in USD. (I know because I posted it lol)

Sigh...now I am obsessed with Barenia Faubourg. Love how the patina is developing. Need to get my hands on one but don’t know if my wallet can take it!

Oops. I didn’t post the US price for the 35 size. I should probably get to that. In any event, FB B35 in US $13,300 before sales tax.

The 30 is 12k on the nose before tax.

I probably didn’t post it in the 2018 prices thread because I’m still trying to stomach the price. Lol.

Wow, that's $200 more than smooth Barenia.

Really?! Wow...that’s interesting....

Please do relax! I have the smooth barenia and a week after receiving her, dropped a huge dollop of curry on to create a big grease stain. A year later, after an immediate spa visit, the patina in full swing and no one would know. She is richer and more beautiful by the minute and yours will be too!

I just thought of something and wanted to ask if you wouldn’t mind sharing... when your sent your barenia to spa... do the bags come back with their stitching still white? I ride and have saddles and know with cleaning the lovely white stitching eventually fades to brown. Wasn’t sure what process Hermes employs to clean these bags while also keeping the stitching white. [emoji4]

I think I’ll settle with these twillies with BF for now. So hard to find something that feels right. I’m trying to show that tiny teeny burgundy part on the twilly to go with the strap of the rodeo. What do you think?
