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

Just in case this ever happens to you...

Almost died today! :wtf: I had NO idea how a speck of (what I think to be) red wine got on my BF Birkin. I always keep my bag FAR AWAY from me when eating or drinking. Granted, it was a speck and I know these things will happen if I carry the bag, but as my SA said, the first is the worst! I remembered reading that water works wonders w this leather so a dabbed a little on...my mistake was rubbing...DO NOT EVER RUB THIS LEATHER...bec you will “flatten” the grain. I thought I made it worse, but DH days it looked about the same. After I got home, I tossed and turned for a few hours...couldn’t sleep so I started researching and found this thread, and a few others. I ended up dabbing the spot w a wet q-tip, then applying corn starch. OMG What happened next was MAGIC! The spot disappeared!

You’re welcome!:biggrin: I guess I shared too much though :shocked: I crossposted because I could only find one thread addressing the same issue and it didn’t fully explain the steps taken to remove the wine. I know what a panic I was in trying to find an answer, so I tried to make it easier for the next person. But, my post was deleted because a mod thought I crossposted out of “shock” lol No:no:, I was just trying to be helpful:-s

Thank you for sharing. The horrors when we first spot a stain. :wtf: I almost died too earlier but it was an evercolor jige, and the spot is gone now.

B35 BF is terribly unimpressed and turned her back on new stepsister Evelyne 111 29 black with gold. Oh well, I needed a fix and the K28 gold, gold doesn't seem to be coming to me anytime in the near future so this handy crossbody will have to tide me over. Pedaling backwards these days..lol.

I had the pleasure to witness your gorgeous B35 when I was in Chicago! Your baby had patina beautifully since the day I met her!!!!

...and there I was not enjoying the 1000% humidity while walking down Rush Street in Chicago with my Birkin BF and my husband (normally I would write DH but there was nothing darling about him on that walk) when all of the sudden, a downpour that was far better then our hotel shower started on us. I didn't have a chance to dig out the raincoat nor did I have an umbrella (because I am so CARELESS.). What I did have was my husband yelling at me about how CARELESS it was to bring a BIRKIN on our walk and how I RUINED it and how he was going to TAKE it and RUN into a restaurant and that he COULDN'T IMAGINE that I RUINED it, just RUINED it. Do you feel my pain? I think I must how scowled at him even with the 3 gallons of fresh Botox and scooted right into Gibsons..soaked. The Birkin looked like a golden Dalmatian, I knew that bag was going to be fine because of this forum, he did not nor would a Gibson's famous 5 ounce martini ease his misery, nope we had to go RIGHT back to the hotel. What was going to happen in the hotel that couldn't happen after a stiff martini?
Well, enough with my story, you know how it ends. She was perfect in 20 minutes. You could actually watch the raindrops fade. What a bag, what an amazing Hermes leather the BF is. I ADORE it (shouting) so don't be afraid if you get caught like I did. Had a Lemon drop at RL instead and DH bought.

Yesterday I got caught off guard which is pretty silly bc it pours every afternoon here this time of year. Thank goodness I had BF with me and not something else. It’s the wettest it’s gotten but dried perfectly in no time.
