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

The Couvertures Novelles twilly also comes in a yellow colorway that is really pretty. It has a yellow background with etoupe and a bit of green. (It’s one of the twillys I first posted earlier). I decided to play it “risky” and opted for the orange colorway which is cw02 Orange/Jaune/Capucine.

I think orange goes beautifully with BF. I’m hoping purple does too....

Oh, most definitely [emoji106]

By the way, what’s the proper terminology to use when differentiating between the “old” Barenia bags and this “new” Barenia? I don’t really care for the old/new distinction... maybe smooth versus pebbled? Ha ha. Or is it really “Barenia” versus “Barenia Faubourg” which feels like quite a mouthful. Thoughts?

I say smooth or grained Barenia is an appropriate (and much less of a mouthful) way to differentiate. What do you and everyone else think of that? Old and new, nah. They’re gorgeous sisters, and no one tells a pretty lady she’s old and gets away with it!

I LOVE all your pictures! Thank you so much for sharing. Now it’s time for me to hunt down those Couvertures Novelles twillies. They look perfect! Congrats again!

Loving everyone's posts and pictures. Thank you for sharing. Haven't used mine lately but I try to smell it as often as possible! Wish mine had a strong smell like cavalry's and lala28's. It is heavenly. I think in my early days of buying H I would not have been ready for a Barenia or BF but now I am so excited over this bag. Something about it that now I don't mind having it age. I think with my other bags, Togo, epsom, clemence, swift etc, I don't want those to age so much but I'm okay with a Barenia bag and look forward to see how it evolves. And I love the neutral color and blind stamp!

I have to admit, I was a little freaked out by BF. I have Togo and Evercolor bags and I like my stuff neat, tidy, and looking new. But, something about the BF is liberating. I originally wanted gold Togo, but when my SA presented me with this beauty I couldn’t say no. It sat on my shelf for a few weeks as I debated whether I could handle the “changes.” My DH finally convinced me to bite the bullet and just let go, and use her unrestrained. I did. Now, it is hands down my favorite bag. I have taken on the patina process as a personal challenge. I love the intoxicating smell. The blind stamp is extraordinary. And I LOVE grained leather. Also, for a 35, mine has fabulous structure and color depth Togo just doesn’t deliver. I am in love. Congratulations on your bag and welcome to the BF journey!

I’m ashamed to admit, but I beat the hell out of my other bags but I tend to baby this one [emoji33]! I use her frequently, but I try and avoid scrapes and congested areas. I think it’s because she’s my holy grail bag, and the idea of any sort of damage makes me nauseated. I know she will handle it better than any of my other leathers...but...this is my baaaabbbyyy! (I’m such a goober)

Ya... I haven’t entered the damage zone either hehe. My daily use consists of a car ride to the office and back [emoji847] but I do like the idea that getting fresh air and a little walk will assist the patina process, albeit slowly.
