I just got a Birkin 50 and I can fit a family of four in it. It is enormous and weighs a ton but it has taken the place of three other bags that I normally would carry. I am 6'2" and 180# and as a big man I can carry it off. What works best for me is the 40 Birkin of which I have three and one on the way. It helps when I start to get out of control and want to carry too much. It will be a great asset in the winter with lugging around scarves, hats, gloves, etc. It should be required if you live in the Windy City of Chicago!
