Hi all, so glad I can join this club. I am a proud owner of:
1. HAC32 Barenia Fauve with brushed hardware (Purchased from Sandiaexchange and interestingly with gold riverts!)
2. B30 Barenia Fauve GHW
I have read in the thread somewhere of TPFers expressing concerns of carrying our beloved Barenia in the rain. Wanted to share that few months ago i was unfortunately caught in a downpour out in town with my HAC32. Was late for an appointment so regrettably had to use the bag to shield my head running across the road. (I know, I know, I should be the one shielding the bag and not the other way round) First picture shows the dissasterous rain marks on the bag! But within 10-15mins, the rain completely dried in and left very minimal marks. Attaching second picture after I had treated her with Doc's Luxury Again spa kit for unfinished leather last week. Her colour came out a nice Patina, and the spa kit even minimized the scuff marks on the corners. No rain mark whatsoever is visible. Just wanted to share this with the Barenia lovers who are concern of carrying their bags in rain (Not that I will encourage it!)
