Has anyone else had this happen to their BF bag? The "Hermes Paris Made in France" imprint stamp is wearing away and I can barely see it now, even with with contrast lighting. Is this normal? I got the barenia faubourg precisely because I wanted to avoid the silver/gold foil from wearing away. Very upset.

I tried to take photos with my phone, but it's so faint that it's not picking up. I only see it in person but even then I have to be really close and shine a light on it. Can you see yours?
Not sure if has to do with me rubbing out a scratch in that area, but only did so lightly and for a few seconds.

I misread the meaning of your post
did you mean that you chose barenia faubourg because it is not foil stamped and therefore
would never wear away?
or is ths a bag of dubious origin?
As what has been said by @WhiteBus, it is blind-stamp for barenia and BF bags in any colour. See my avatar - my BF B30 is in ebene too.
Barenia Faubourg doesn't have a foil stamp. Are you sure you just didn't notice this fact before?
Does this apply to the 24/24 as well? Wing nut told me she got her BF 2424 and it had a silver heat stamp to match the palladium hardware.
I think the 24/24 has a foil stamp because (IIRC) it's an interior stamp. Could be wrong though - don't have a 24/24
I could have misunderstood her too. The mysteries of Hermes ♀️I think the 24/24 has a foil stamp because (IIRC) it's an interior stamp. Could be wrong though - don't have a 24/24
Yes that's correct. I chose this because it's a blind stamp not a foil stamp, so I assumed since it's a blind stamp, it will never wear away since it's literally imprinted on the leather.
I know it doesn't have a foil stamp. That is why I chose BF, because it's a blind stamp, rather than a foil stamp, so I assumed it would last longer than a foil stamp
Please....clarify. The stamp isn't deep enough? Maybe this is a question for the Barenia Faubourg thread?
Yes, exactly my thoughts.
@djen5466, here's a link to the related thread. Best to ask there, good luck!

+1 with @WKN and @WhiteBus. I have owned smooth barenia in fauve, ebene, and noir, but it was my understanding from reading TPF threads that the heat stamp for both B and BF are embossed (so that they stand out in relief) in a relatively deep imprint. If this is a secondary market bag, perhaps you might consider contacting @bababebi for her opinion in case the leather was misidentified
ETA: I just saw that you are directed to the BF thread by @etoile de mer and others! Good luck!
