G or H in a square, so 2003 or 2004. Husband thinks it’s a G, I think it’s an H. Tried to take some pics, but this particular date stamp happens to be quite hard to read. All the other Dwich I have is 2003.

Any opinions are welcome...

Hello everyone! This is listed as Barenia Fauve- Square Q- but I am not sure. I have never seen Barenia IRL. Anyone else have any opinions?

I am absolutely no expert, so take this with a grain of salt, but if this is barenia from 2013 I would have thought it would have a lot more patina. This looks very light and even coloured to me.

I was thinking the same thing and I was wondering why I did not see more scratches on this bag.

I feel the same way, just as mentioned by @Tonimichelle and @Red Barchetta - by now a Barenia patina would look darker and more of a reddish brown.

It’s a White bus isn’t it? Maybe someone just never used it?

It is a White Bus. I am wondering if it might be Vache Hunter or Natural??

Or Chamonix maybe? Sorry I really am no expert! A picture of a stamp may help (barenia should be a blind stamp, no colour I think) but I’m sure someone who knows more will come along soon.

 

[nymeria]

or perhaps Chamonix- with no use or visible patina, but NOT barenia
may we see the stamp please?

 

[Red Barchetta]

Here is what I have. . . I don't have the date stamp.

Not Barenia then, I think Chamonix has a brown stamp, but I’m not sure!

 

[nymeria]

If I’m not mistaken, chamonix (in natural) usually will be blind stamped, but there are definitely those with a brown stamp. You can also check the resin color.
True experts please weigh in!!!

I am getting some outside help with this. I will let you all know!

 

[Red Barchetta]

So the verdict is either Chamonix or Vache Natural. The stamp is not clear enough from the photo to tell if it is blind stamped. I really needed a more water friendly bag so I am not sure what I want to do now. Thank you to @nymeria, @marzipanchen, and @Tonimichelle for your help today. Love this community!
