PRESENTATION OF BARENIA LEATHER:
BARENIA is the most expensive smooth leather found in Hermès workshops. Formerly used by the house for the manufacture of saddles, it is considered to be a rugged heirloom skin that is incredibly soft to the touch. It does not scratch easily and is also water resistant. Mainly left in its natural golden caramel color, you will find it associated with white stitching for a fresh and timeless look. Thanks to its oil absorption capacity, the Barenia will develop over the years a natural patina - its personal history - in the places where it is most often handled. This is one of the qualities for which Barenia is celebrated by Hermès enthusiasts.
