After many months of trying for this exact Picotin on the website, I finally got it 🍫❤️

I’d been trying to get the Picotin 18 in Barenia Faubourg leather in the color ébène with gold hardware off the website for months, but even when I’d get it in my cart, I usually wasn’t quick enough to check out. Once or twice, I did make it through the checkout process, but my order got cancelled 💔 It would only pop up online every so often, so every time I missed out, it felt like such a bummer!

I finally managed to snag it when it dropped on Tuesday, and it arrived yesterday. I love it and thought that other Picotin-lovers might like to see it as well.

It’s my first bag in Barenia Faubourg, and I’m reading mixed reviews on how to care for it and what to expect. I understand that it will likely develop a patina in time, but I’d love any use/care tips from those with personal experience with this leather!
