Hi all! I just bought this in a depot de ventes where the salewoman insisted that it is bareina, but to me it looks more like Box - & the color more Sanguine or Brique than any Bareina Fauve that I’ve ever seen. Thoughts? I’d appreciate your expertise!

I see what you mean ,it’s very beautiful and Bolide is so chic ;the colour is very even for darkened Barenia. Will the faint marks top left disappear if you run gently?
Do you have more photos of stamps and resin?
I’m sure others will be more helpful than I , I’ve never been lucky enough to own one and the Plume I bought as Barenia turned out to be Gulliver ( but I still love it)

I’m not an expert by any means but I’ll take a guess - it could be Evergrain. The bag looks very supple but it has more grain than Swift I think, and less than something like Clemence. I’ll be interested to hear what the experts think.

I thought that too, but Evergrain wasn’t released til around 2012 or 2013 and this bag is dated for 2007 (K in square) :(

Thank you, Frou Frou! The marks don’t seem to rub out the way they seem to be able to do on Bareina. I’m posting some detailed shots here (the weird scribbles on one of them are to cover up the terrifying close-up view of my unmanicured thumb), just in case they contain any clues. But I’m kind of thinking it must be Box. Like you, I’m happy for the “mistake” - & I’d love to see a pic of your Gulliver Plume sometime! :)

I don’t want to intrude on this thread , but I was assured this Plume was Ébène Barenia, as soon as I saw it I knew that was wrong!! However as I love the Plume design I’m still happy 5 yrs later.

This to me looks like Sombrero - look at the white dusty scratch marks and the plastic shine that it has - only Sombrero does that. Berania is buttery and oily. Box is buttery and absolutely smooth - no single grain can be seen and it doesn’t have plasticy cover over touch and feel. Sombrero does. Can you post more photos?

Can’t be sombrero; this bag is dated for ‘97 and sombrero wasn’t around until over a decade later.
