how hard/easy is barenia leather to maintain?

[WhiteBus]

Etriers says it perfectly! The beauty of this skin is that it ages so elegantly - like a gorgeous person who conspicuously refuses to get Botox or fillers in middle age. My barenia B is 18 years old & to me, the leather just gets more interesting & alluring the more time & wear it accumulates…

Isn't that just the perfect Birkin.

In answer to the thread question:
easy - certainly not hard; it looks after itself

You are sweet, WhiteBus, thank you! I love it so much that sometimes I just carry it around the house with me to get to spend more time with it

I love barenia. Love. I do have a barenia wallet and it scartaches very easily and will take time to develop the full patina. I think it is gorgeous and the in between stage doesn’t bother me. To get it in a bag you’d have to be sure you would need to be comfortable with the bag while it develops that patina or have other bags to use that don’t scratch easily. If I was offered one I’d take it in a heartbeat.
