New to me vintage Evelyne I in Barenia, and Calvi Pop with Orange Poppy Lining. So interesting to see new and old Fauve side by side.

That Evelyne is amazing — what a rich, even patina! So jealous as I would love an Evie like that!

You’re inspiring me — I’m gonna try to take a photo of my Barenia Kelly with my Calvi (Barenia with Blue Sapphire lining) this weekend. You’re right, it’s so interesting to see old and new Barenia side by side!

Please do share a photo! I would love to see this.
Regarding the Evie - It did not look this good when it arrived, had many stains and scratches, but with the encouragement and advice from @docride I could restore it back to what you see on the photo, just using a damp cloth, a bit of Saphir for greasy leathers and a clean finger to massage out the scratches. I am quite happy with the result and can only encourage you to consider looking into preloved options if you like Barenia with patina.

Oh, believe me, I love Barenia with patina! Case in point, here is my Barenia K35 from 1999. Pictured with my Barenia Calvi with Blue Sapphire interior from 2016 (and our nosy cat Lucy!).

This bag!! I die. I love my Barenia B35...but in Barenia, the 30 looks sooooooo good!
is it ridiculous to have both? Clearly yes.....but...

I don't think it's ridiculous at all: I have a B 35 and a HAC 32 in Barenia fauve and I would love a Kelly in Barenia aswell....also I'd love an Olive Barenia Birkin and goodness knows what else: there 's no limit to Barenia addiction, lol:girlsigh:
