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!

Thanks for sharing! Totally gorgeous! The fact that they fixed this gives me hope that it will reappear one day!!!!

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.

You’re right, it’s not as noticeable in photos as it is in real life. It was definitely worth the time and money, but I’m hoping to not repeat this repair for the remainder of the bag’s or my life [emoji1]

Thank you for posting pics ouija board, your Mrs Olive is truly stunning and the ”facelift” very interesting. Love when barenia bags and slgs develop character. Never seen this leather in person but you can always hope.

Your bag is so stunningly gorgeous, a colored barenia bag is my HG! It looks even more lovely after the rejuvenation [emoji177]

Thank you! You have a lovely Barenia bag (or two?), too, if I recall. I’m ever hopeful that Vert Olive Barenia makes a comeback, but I might not be able to afford the retail price when it does!
