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

I know for some of you guys BF, is a forever bag, but for those who are slightly fickle and love to rotate bags in and out (one in, one out), do you worry that you’ll get killed with resale prices once a patina develops or handles darken?

Yes, I am worried and my b35 bf has not even arrived yet!. Even though my intention is never to resell the bag, I have been looking all over on the internet and b35 bf bags that are not new do not seem to me to hold the same value as used b35's in other leathers. It will be a big moment for me when I take the plastic stickers off the protective hardware and finally claim it to be mine. I would not say that that I have buyers remorse but rather buyer concerns.

I would definitely wait for a B30 if that’s what you really want, especially if you find the 35 heavy. It is SO SO tempting to take what is offered but H is too expensive to compromise. Especially if you’re only going to have a few bags. A small family of B35, B30 and K28 sounds perfect.

I have personally taken bags that were offered that were not quite right but I talked myself into them. In the end they were not used and I lost money rehoming them.

This is me! I’ve been afraid not to accept for the fear of not having another opportunity...even though, logically, I know that’s silly. I recently accepted a bag, only to get offered what I really wanted in the first place a week later. Now, I have a bag to rehome :-/

Beautiful!!! Yours is a really strong, saturated BF, if you know what I mean. I’ve seen some that are very light colored (almost powdery) with smoother grains, if that makes sense.

Your blind stamp is also very deep and stunning. Mine is so shallow... do you think H would restamp mine? Maybe if I sent to spa one day?

It might be the lighting...I will post another picture in bright light when BFF arrives (I am waiting by the window for fedex!) It might look entirely different.

I want to see too! This color is gorgeous and saturated! Mine comes tomorrow from the fancy Fed Ex van and it is on the lighter side. I wanted a super dark one but I imagine mine will eventually darken over time. I do love the blind stamp though. I’ll post pics of mine on Thursday.
