Do you ever regret your decision for going this small? I'm just curious. Btw, this question's prompted by today's wildlife sighting. Thanks!

HL, of course you know that I love this bag! It fits a lot, always looks neat (even when left open - it doesn't get batwings) and is too precious for words. The only drawback is that it is a handheld bag only. The drop on the handles is too short to carry it in the crook of your arm.

How tall are you? I am (excessively) short (almost 4'10") so the bag looks proportionate on me. But, taller gals like it, too. There is a thread from a couple of days ago where Perja was asking if everyone thought she should buy a 25cm Birkin and she is almost a foot taller than I am! Let me find that for you and I'll post the thread.

ETA: Here you go!

HL - I love my 25 birkin lizard. it can both be a casual or dressy bag. fits a lot too! i'm 5'4" tall and its ok.

I actually had the chance to try on a 25cm and I loved it!!!! Small, chic and a perfect evening bag in exotic skins or in black Chevre. I'm 5'3" and it suited me perfectly too!!!

I have a 25cm Birkin and it gives me a big smile! I like to wear it as a dress bag tho it has seen some daytime duty as well. Just edit what you need to carry. I don't think it looks like a kiddie bag and I'm not that short.

Thank you ladies for your wonderful feedback!
I still have to mull this one over. I'll make up my mind after my bags arrive.

Btw, I'm the same height as Pazt (barefoot) but I'm usually running around in 3-4' heels!

This is definitely the size I want. I'm
5'3" and I feel the bigger sizes would be
too much for my frame.
