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

OMG! Is that brushed gold hardware?

Unfortunately, no it’s just the protective sticker

I was told it’s not possible, but girl can always dream.

Yeah, I was told that brushed hardware is more likely to scratch as well

I recently found out that this cute RooRoo pouch is partially made of Barenia ❤️

Dear ladies, may I know why some barenia natural (fauve) come in different shades? For example, I have seen some really light colors and some deeper almost gold color? Like this one attached is light. Thanks!

Barenia, being an untreated ( unfinished) leather will patina over time. Therefore, over the course of a number of years, it will usually darken and the scratches/marks etc. will begin to blend in. The same bag will appear to be differing "shades" over time. It literally evolves.
In addition, as all leathers are taken from different animals, there will be a natural variation in the initial depth of color. And some bags may have been conditioned.

What a beauty It's really lovely- I've always wanted either a box or barenia Evie TPM. But I see the straps are always a single/unadjustable length ( like yours), and I THINK that it's usually 105-110cm and that's really long for me ( 63 in or 163 cm tall, standing very straight after years of Pilates!!).
Could you tell me what the length is on yours please? ( Won't matter- I'm totally jealous! ) Use and enjoy it

Thank you, I’m very happy with my purchase.
I’m 159 cm tall and the strap is 110 cm.

I have never been happy with Picotins until I got this Barenia 18. Love it!
