I pulled out my natural Barenia today as she is my fall bag (I'll share pics when pull out my black Barenia for the winter!) I also found these Twillys recently that are perfection with the bag. I normally leave my Barenias au naturel but they look lovely on her. I adore this bag. My first Birkin with the encouragement from my fellow TPFers that this is the type of Birkin for me. Love the elegant yet rough & tumble juxtaposition about this bag. She doesn't make me feel bad that my wardrobe these days consists of yoga pants or jeans. She loves carrying my things and the requests to hold sippy cups or a stuffed toy or snacks for the kids. We both have years on us (and our own scars & scratches) but we both like to think we wear it with pride. ImageUploadedByPurseForum1444380279.861503.jpg

For sure. But it's nice when I wear the bag and it doesn't wear me! ;)

Tremendously well said! Gives a sense of character and history to the bag - and your relationship to her. Enjoyed reading this!

Wooohoooo!!!!:yahoo:

I love unfinished leathers and have been looking for a bag in VN or Barenia for awhile. I spotted a Bolide listed on eBay as "calf" that looked promising. Blind stamp, what look like oily "freckles" on the bottom - sort of like what happens to paper grocery bags if set on a table that's been recently treated with furniture polish. The price was reasonable but I put in a lowball offer because of a few ink marks on the inside (which are OK with me) and it was accepted! So look what arrived today:



Introducing Miss Bolide 37! In really lovely shape. I'm sure her hidden freckles will blend in with plenty of experience :smile1:
