the Russian leather tanning and finishing techniques (e.g. Volynka) have only been applied to reindeer and calf skins so far, not exotics, but since this is a fantasy thread it is probably allowed1) Matte Fauve Barenia Porosus Crocodile Kelly 25 Retourne Brushed Palladium Hardware PLEASE
2) Volynka Crocodile Birkin 30
3) Kelly Doll in Doblis Pale Rose with some contrasting OMG
4) Barenia Fauve Della Cavelleria
Oooh! Loving the sound of these...I'm droolingFun thread!
I would get a 32 HAC in brown Matte Nilo croc or Alligator ( I prefer the larger scales) with canvas lining, as they used to be. Gold H/W with square turnlock.
HAC 32 Vert Olive Barenia with gold H/W and square turnlock.
All very boring I know but I'm not a fan of contrast anything, I prefer to stick to basics!
Hmmmm i think there is! A matte croc HAC was "on tour" at some of the bigger stores in China! I have seen a few pictures on social media, unless they are "embossed", which isnt likely... Nevertheless, fantasy or not, probably unattainable for me anyway. These days wish list are more like wishful thinkingthe Russian leather tanning and finishing techniques (e.g. Volynka) have only been applied to reindeer and calf skins so far, not exotics, but since this is a fantasy thread it is probably allowed![]()
This is my photo! Verrou Elan is gorgeous. How funny and delightful to be wasting time before bed glancing through the “new threads” here and see my pic referenced in this fun thread. Thank goodness it was not the wildlife thread!!Oooh, fun. Thanks for the thread @maxroxxherhandbags
1. Stealing your first choice. I love green, love black barenia, love BPHW in a birkin (esp the older version which is softer and finer), love 32 HAC size (not too big, not to small).
2. Verrou elan (is it the correct name? Picture from internet or even tpf - can’t remember) in navy blue box and GHW with chain that can be hidden to use as shoulder bag or clutch

If you are inclined to reply, I would be grateful.This is my photo! Verrou Elan is gorgeous.

This is brilliant!I thought of another one. A rainbow-style Bolide, like the Sunrise and Sunset but instead of different colors, it would be of different leathers: Volynka, peau de porc, fauve barenia, and vache naturelle.
