Can somebody please help ID what leather this is? It’s on what I believe is a vintage RD duffle bag. Can this leather be restored/conditioned? Thank you in advance!!View attachment 5975272View attachment 5975273View attachment 5975274

Love it! This is Naturel Vache Naturelle. Yes, it can be restored (though this bag seems in fairly decent condition) and lightly conditioned. I would always recommend Hemès Spa as the best way to ensure top tier restoration, but I’ve also had success conditioning VN with Saphir’s Crème Universelle. I’m sure you could also use the Hermès Baume de Sellerie. :flowers:

Hi team, back with another challenge. I just got my hands on a beat up sac a depeches that I can’t figure out what leather this is. I was told it is Chamonix, but also resembles vache natural? It’s blindstamped with no color, the resin is dark not clear, and seems to take on patina (see terrible darkened handles).

I understand its very different care regimen for the two leathers, so want to know before I start rubbing product on it.

Maybe the experts and detectives here can help? Thank you!!

Hi there! This looks like Barénia. Out of curiosity, did the seller give you any information regarding the production year on this item?

Barenia….and the plot thickens…. I’m mainly interested in “fixing” the dark handles so if it is barenia maybe I’ll just push the patina and even it out a little instead of having Hermes replace the handle?

No specific year but I was told it was originally purchased about 20 years ago…

I know @docride has a lot of experience with adding patina to bags, so I would suggest maybe messaging her or asking her for advice in this thread. I’m sure whatever you decide will look great! ;)
