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

Barenia F after 3 months. Colour hasn't changed much but the clochette has darkened slightly.

Absolutely lovely!! Do you generally wear her with only one twilly? I want to do that but wasn't sure if I would only get patina on the one handle.

Happy to see an update! Please keep them coming. Are you using it a lot?

Thank you! I normally use 2 twillies but when I dress her up with charms I think it's too busy so I take one off. I can see the piping in the corners and clochette darkening but the bag is pretty much the same.

Happy to see an update! Please keep them coming. Are you using it a lot?

Thanks! I rotate my bags so I wouldn't say a lot but definitely at least 5 days in a month. [emoji16]

Wow! Almost twins. Do you baby your Barenia or use it regularly?

I've only owned her a few months but she's definitely not babied! I don't use her for work but she's been out every weekend, on holiday, in the rain, shopping, restaurants, bathrooms, you name it! I love her to bits (in fact I get her out most days I'm not using her just so I can see her, so I guess I'm somewhat obsessed!). I do take care of her, but life is short and I want to use her as much as possible

I totally agree. I've had my bag for about ten years, purchased from a lovely tPfer. I don't baby her at all. She goes out in all weathers, and has flown to various countries. Every time I take her to my local Hermes boutique the Manager comments how lovely she is and that she has numerous clients who would love to buy her, if I wished to sell. I have quite a few Hermes bags and this is the only bag I would never sell. Ever.

My sentiment is the same!! This wld be the only bag I wldnt sell ever too. And agree on traveling with barenia. The other day we got rained on in Prague all of sudden and I was so relieved this is the only bag I brought with me on this trip. If really is a fantastic leather, and also my husband's favorite too (not that he likes hermes all that much but barenia is an exception)!

Mine is from 1999 as well! Interesting how the patinas develop differently with each bag. Love your little barenia wallet, too!

They do vary a lot in patina. Yours is beautiful and darker than mine I think. I'd like mine to get darker eventually.
