Hello all, I came across this really beautiful Birkin 40 in dark green. The seller is claiming it's Barenia Faubourg leather. I know Barenia Faubourg is really rare, and especially in colors other than the natural color. So I'm not sure if it is true. Also this is a vintage piece, circle V stamp, from 1992. I would greatly appreciate if you can help me verify if it is indeed Barenia Faubourg leather. Thank you very much!

As a general reminder:

We/I provide free information here and certainly do not appreciate being taken advantage of by commercial resellers.

Quoting PT’s original post below because I share the same beliefs: If your username or other information provided in your profile suggests that you are a commercial reseller or that you are employed by a commercial reseller, it is extremely likely that neither I nor others here will feel inclined to help you with your request. Cheers.:flowers:

We aim to educate all, but this forum was set-up as a community that helps each other, and we try to protect our membership from commercial exploitation. Since your name suggests you are a commercial reseller, and if that is so, I suggest you do more 'indirect' research.

You can read about these leathers in other threads/subforums.

Let's move on please
 
I found a toolbox with golden hardware (most seem to be silver) and the blue looks promising - any ideas which it could be? Leather looks evercolor (not Swift) to me but am not an expert. Might the tonal stitching and combination with golden hardware help to define it?IMG_4039.pngIMG_4038.png

I’m fairly certain it’s not Barenia Faubourg as I believe that leather is fairly recent.
