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 thought the same thing! I'm small, and really thought that a 32 would be crazy, but between the retourne, the gorgeous slouch and the way it just works as a totally casual and cool (at least that's how I feel when I wear it!! :lol:) and amazing bag.....well, I love it too!
Have a great time with it :tup:

I thought it might be interesting to see some before and after pictures of my beloved birkin 35 bf that has been sitting on my shelf in an enclosed room happily for about 2 years, I have used the bag three times.
Last night, when looking at some of my handbags, my husband thought this bag in particular looked tired and well worn and wondered why it hadn't stood up very well being relatively unused. I explained to him I thought that the current appearance was due to the uniqueness of the way the Barenia Faubourg was manufactured and the multiple layers of oil/ dyes used in the process. I then told him to come back in about an hour.
This topic has been well documented in this thread but I thought it might be of interest to see some before and after pictures. It's still odd to me to take a hair dryer to a bag but hence the result. I tried to take some close-ups where you could actually see the fatty deposits in the veins of the bag. Can you see the difference in the before and after? DH was amazed but still wondered if I wasn't doing damage by applying heat to the surface. Thoughts? (BF is my favorite, I hope to get a mini Roulis in same.)

Picotin 18 and her B25 sister. Both BF.

And I should show a side by side of the B25 with her older B30 sister, who is almost 3 years old. I used the B30 BF a lot. It got rained on a few times. (My Mini Roulis was the one that got alcohol on it and was fine after I wiped it with water.). It is interesting to see that the B30 has not darkened but has developed a sheen.
