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)

I know it's confusing having two leathers of a similar colour, but if you are posting on Barenia Faubourg please post here: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/everything-barenia-faubourg.982271/unread This thread is for original original (smooth) Barenia only

You should definitely check it out. The B35 are super workhorses. Personally, I think the Barenia B and K can be big and stylish. I got the B30 BF only because I am in no shortage of B35's. I am 5'8". While most people thought the B30 looked fine, my SA and I both secretly think a 35 could rock better in Barenia (especially the smooth).

Thx for the good advice Meowlett.

Showing the water resistancy of BF! I didn’t even wipe the bag- I let the water absorb into the leather. Less than 20 mins later, it’s completely dry with ZERO water stains!

That's amazing :nuts:!
Btw, do you find the mini Roulis a practical bag? What fits inside? Is the size comparable to a Chanel mini?
Sorry for all the questions...just wondering if I could make a mini Roulis in FB work for me :blush:.

I don’t have a Chanel mini, so I can’t give an accurate comparison. It fits more than the Chanel boy- it definitely fits more than a mini c! There are two additional pockets (one inside, one outside). I usually only have a wallet, keys, and phone for daily use. For the photo, I put all the stuff I would need for traveling.

Top pocket: mini bearn, car keys (the Carmen uno-dos key ring takes up a lot of space), allergy medicine
Middle flap: passport
Lower pocket: lipstick, a fat portable charger, and iPhone cords!

My phone goes in the outer pocket for easy access :smile: what items are you planning on carrying in your bag?

See, there is hope for me after all. That’s encouraging to know. I was on the fence w it too cause my B30 is Etoupe. However, the BF is TDF and a nice everyday treat, so having two Bs in the brown families is A-ok with me. Told the DH one is dressier and the other would be everyday carry. I’ll continue to wish on the same star that my BF 30 will make her way to me [emoji173]️

My B30 is Etoupe!! They are 100% different vibes and would stand on their own even if both B30! I use my B30 for weekends and my BF as a workhorse. Either way you will love them both!

Totally agree! Something about that big brown beauty that makes my heart sing. BF is a class all it’s own.

Thank you so much for this, very helpful :tup:!

On days that I don't carry very much, I would carry my phone, keys, small wallet or card case, few make up pieces and my small Tangle Teezer hairbrush (but last one is more for windy/rainy days).
Based on your pictures, I think that would fit...I also really love back pockets, I would put my phone there too :yes:.
If H. has a mini Roulis in stock next time I visit, I'm definitely going to try it on, to see how the size will look on me. Your picture made me curious now :P.
So far I think BF only comes in mini, not regular size?

Did you run the test intentionally?
I spilled booze on mine during Happy Hour last week. Went home to wipe it off an hour later. No stain at all. Here is a picture of the culprit.

I’m 5’6 and I really like the mini size. The H box is TINY. I never tried on the regular so idk how it fits with my height.
