Hello fellow Barenia lovers,
As promised, a before-during-after sequence of pics to show how Barenia looks with the Baume applied.
1. Before (looking just fine, but a little bit dehydrated)
2. Resting with a coat of Baume on the front, looking dark, oily, streaky, and a little scary!
3. After-- a supple bag with the scratches blended in, looking a little glossier overall
4. You can see the amount of Baume I used to do the back, sides, and bottom of a PM Evelyne-- that little divet at the top of the Baume is where I scooped a small quantity out. I then just apply a little at a time with my fingers. Some areas will want more Baume than the others-- don't worry, it'll all look even in the end, and honestly you can slap it on pretty hastily and the bag will take care of it. No buffing necessary-- just let it sit and soak in.

Thank you so much!! 
And if I could also use it to put it under my eyes, this balm is suddenly comparatively cheap! :giggles:
This is my dream bag.I was a very brief member of the Barenia club when 3 years ago I bought a new B30. Well, its first trip was to London and it was the most uncomfortable journey as I dreaded every knock fearing a scratch, every drink encounter fearing a spill.
Needless to say, I sold the bag straightaway as I believed I was far too feint hearted for this leather. Roll on 3 years and today I am the proud owner of a barenia Kelly 32 with brushed palladium hardware. It is in superb condition having been barely carried. All the hardware still had its plastic on and the velvet nap and smell was still there. Of course it has the odd rub particularly around the clasp but it has just started its patination journey.
I now have a delightful evening planned rubbing in all the scratches, watching them blend in and getting to know my beauty. Living the dream
