They are all lovely- but I AM a sucker for the Barenia calvi. I love the pop of pink inside. I have a smooth and a BF and I would urge you to keep it- they are wonderful and will patina just beautifully. They do hold up well, and are soft and malleable without appearing worn. But if the patina-ing process is not for you, then you are right, and return it.A big delivery from FedEx today!

First, Into the Canadian Wild in 05, a 2018 scarf I've been keeping an eye out for at a reasonable price. I managed to snag this one gently used but without any flaws for retail rather than the $500-600 it seems to go for (Fun fact: this design had a misprint in all its runs--the è in Hermès was printed as é!)

Then, a Barenia Faubourg Verso Calvi in Fauve/ Rose D'Ete. It's so neat to have something in Barenia, though I'm a little nervous that it's already patina-ing/darkening in one spot and I wonder how well it will hold up as an SLG since it's a fairly soft leather. I'm keeping an eye out for an Epsom verso combo I love even more as a possible exchange.

And then a Sesame Mini Evelyne with the Allegro strap! The Rouge Tomate I purchased earlier this month is going back in favor of this one, I love it! I'd been trying to get the Beige de Wiemar with the multicolor strap for ages now; the same day that I missed one (added it to cart but didn't get to check out) I was shocked to see the Sesame and Rose Azalee pop up. In my rush to pay I actually accidentally had added both the Sesame and the Rose Azalee in my cart and successfully checked outI called H customer service immediately and they were able to cancel the Rose Azalee since I knew for sure I wouldn't keep it.

I was nervous about Sesame--it's a color I've never seen in person, and it looked really yellow online. It's definitely a yellow, warm brown--I think it's best described as a mustard-camel. It's not for everyone, but I really, really love mustard-y shades, and it goes perfectly with my rusty fall/winter wardrobe. That the strap is a fun and multicolored is just an added bonus!
I don't own any other H neutrals right now, but I've added a photo to compare with Barenia.
Still keeping an eye out for BdW, as I think it would pair nicely with my spring wardrobe, but I'm super excited to have my first H bag!
Whatever you do, they are all terrific and just enjoy them!
It's good to hear that BF wears well in the calvi! I'm open to a patina, I was just surprised to see mine arrive already starting the process. I was more worried about it losing shape or wearing quickly at the edges, but if you say that your others hold up well and don't look worn, I'm excited to watch the leather age and get some character! I also love that pink pop, I really love the verso calvis.They are all lovely- but I AM a sucker for the Barenia calvi. I love the pop of pink inside.

Most people that I know will probably not appreciate this purchase but I think it’s stunning. Even the box is amazing. Thanks for letting me share.

This is awesome!! Congrats on a killer piece.
I saw this huge box today at my home store. I wish I saw the globe in person!!! Do you mind sharing the price?
(Canadian but you get the idea)
Fun accessories today and finally the anemone Apple Watch band! 
23K I think... I chose not to look at receipt
No no, I meant there was a lady at my home store today that bought had this giant box and I overheard it was the globe. We don't have the same home store~
I think we do bc I bought it today! Did you see the little dog. I think we were both looking at the little dog.
Just brought home this beauty! A veau butler C18 in natural sable. My SA originally thought it a barenia (which remains on my wish list as one of the K/C size fit for my petite frame or the only B that I would consider aside from cherve) but the lack of that famous smell when we first open the plastic wrap outside the box and dust bag was kinda telling.
Did not know much about the butler leather beforehand but let me say I was taken away by its softness and buttery feeling as soon as I touched it - my gosh I have to get it! The feeling of it is definitely delicate and it automatically gives you the feeling that it has to be babied. In fact, I told my SA that this bag is like a daughter in my collection, when even box calf is like a son (ok I consider my chevre pieces my Tom boy daughters). Definitely a piece to be treasured and adored. Probably wouldn't make it as a grab-and-go bag. But I've been playing with it the whole evening since I brought it home. Lovely leather indeed!
