Hi everyone- I’m looking at an item from Finklepuff, a reseller in SG. It’s supposed to be a barenia E square - but the color of the bag looks really light for E square? It’s a hac 32. What do you think? I thought the barenia color would be darker (more Fauve) View attachment 5667750

Could it be color-retouched vache natural? The leather grain and stiffness looks more like that leather and it does appear to have color retouching unless that it just the lighting.

Although Barenia can stay very light in color if not heavily used, this does not look like Barenia. It appears to be finished, perhaps Chamonix (although I did not think HAC 32 was made in Chamonix). I would suggest using a paid authenticator on this one if you are seriously considering.

Hi everyone, I’ve searched as best I could and haven’t identified this color yet. I appreciate if someone has an idea? The color appears like Rosy or Flamingo (a dusty pale pink). the stitching and clemence leather are really throwing me off. Looks too dark for Crevette I believe? Rose tea? I’d love to hear your thoughts, thanks so much In advance.
The date stamp is an O in a square

For that year, I very highly doubt it’s Rose Thé, Crevette, or Flamingo. I believe Bois de Rose has tonal stitching and is much darker, so it can't be that either. I'm quite sure this colour is Rosy, but it would be helpful if you could post a picture of the bag’s resin.:flowers:

Hi everyone,
Can you please take a look at this Mini Kelly for me?
Are the dark spots part of the stamping on the leather or do they look like color transfer to you? Thank you!

The dark spots are not colour transfer, this is just how some dyes sit on Epsom leather. This happens with other leathers too— Courchevel comes to mind.
