isus, I'm a newbie who is still saving for my first H bag. But I would certainly buy different sizes/styles for different needs/moods. A mini Kelly would be a great evening bag, but a 30cm Birkin would be a great work bag.
A 28cm may work for dinners or luncheons, but I would recommend a more "formal" leather/hardware combo. I have the 28cm black box and would take it out for such occasions.The numerous questions about bag sizing has me wondering if most of us buy the same size in a certain style ( always a 35 in the Birkin...or always a 28 in a Kelly ) OR do you buy the differing sizes and leathers to suit the occasions you use the bags?
I have been looking for a slightly smaller Kelly to wear when I don't want to carry the kitchen sink with me, but still have enough room for wallet, keys, glasses....for luncheon or out in the evening. I find that my 32 Kellys are just a little too much for these occasions, and sometimes, my 28 Kelly is too.
So, I have been searching for a 25 Kelly.
I still need my 35 and 32 for work, and my 28 to run out to the grocery store
The HAC 32 is a great work bag with an *edge* and the 30 Birkin is perfect on days when I don't have as much to carry. Both have a different feel and fill different needs on different days.
And, my black mou Bolide 32 is the most perfect all 'round style when I need the essentials, but don't have to carry a lot. I've considered the 37 Bolide to do the same thing, but hold just a little more.
So, I was wondering if many of you think this way when you're considering a piece or do you generally stay with one specific size or style??

They have several straw bags out for the season. They're new and I can't remember the name off the top of my head. It's home right now. I'm sure if you call your store they can show you a few models. They're perfect for the beach as I couldn't imagine taking leather to the beach.Good question!! I love the idea of a pool party at HG's though lol!!! So which bag do you have for the beach HG?? I have certainly been through a 'few' bags...trying to find what works best - it's been an interesting journey as much as I didn't care for an ostrich in 32 sellier, the chevre 32 sellier works just fine! I do love 30 for a birkin, 28 plume, 31 bolide so I am pretty consistent on those size ranges (I'm also short!)...I wouldn't do a 35 in any bag but for a GP tote....and for an evening bag...have used my mini plume...love that size for evening and ease of opening vs. a smaller kelly for me...
