My B25 fauve barenia with PHW :love:

View attachment 4043585

I just got her yesterday and I cannot get over how beautiful she is. And that amazing smell!! It just melts me :girlsigh: I’m so excited to see how she develops her patina! Are there any specific tips on how to acquire that beautiful sheen other than regular use and love? I read something somewhere about a saddle balm from Hermes but I think it is only available in Europe?

It's the same thing. Fauve it just the color. It means natural. fauve is the color you usually see, the natural gold/orange color. Barenia sometimes comes in other colors like Ebene, Black, etc.

fauve is a colour - or lack thereof

thank you. Is that a different leather with different properties?

My Vert Olive Barenia Birkin recently returned home from an 8 month stint in Paris where it got new handles and sangles. It was gone for the whole US school year, so DH jokes that we sent it away to boarding school, and for a bargain basement price of ~$2100!

I thought Barenia lovers would like to see what brand new Vert Olive Barenia looks like since we don’t see it very often. My bag came to me when it was well used and a deep brown, but you can see the color difference between the new and old leathers. Brand new, it’s distinctly olive green. So happy to have my favorite bag back home!

it's very handsome; I suspect that the difference between the new and the old is more noticeable in reality than in the photographs, but I'm sure that the two will quickly blend especially as the barenia is not a flat tone and looks so different accruing to how the light hits it.
Truly money well spent; it must be a really useful bag to own.
