Hermes Question: got sold a used belt??

Is it barenia?
This leather will develop patina and while it does show scratches, vintage barenia is gorgeous.
This may have happened when someone tried the belt on...I understand it sucks to get something with sogns of use when you paid for new...but as in your situation theres no way around it, give it some time and they will probably fade into the general patina.

Yes it is barenia. Yes that's what I'm told too. Thank you!
 
I actually found LV to have very good after sale service. If this same matter happened to a LV belt ( prob won't since their canvases don't scratch easily), they would probably exchange it for me in store.
I wasn't talking about after sale service, but about the fact that there are many problems with many bags (peeling, for example).
