My first birkin 30!!

Congratulations!!!!! I own both Togo and Clemence B's, and I actually prefer Clemence. It's lush and thick. It takes color very well. I have a black 35 B Clemence ghw. I use an insert and properly store it when not using. My Togo leathers have softened up as well. Enjoy! Here is a pic of my 35. I also have a B30 Togo PHW, and I prefer the look and feel of my Clemence. If I got offered a B30 in Clemence I would snatch it up in a heartbeat!! So happy for you!!

omg ! your B35 looks so Gorgeous. I already ordered the insert, hope it helps.

You make me thinking that my B30 is way to small for me :sad:
 
This is gorgeous!!!!!

OP- I owned a Black Clemence-Kelly 32 with ghw and a Black Togo-Kelly 32 with Phw, and to me, the black Clemence blew the Togo away. The color was a rich and dark black in the Clemence and not so much in the Togo. I would take Clemence over Togo any day, and ghw, well, I am a ghw person.

You make me feel blessed, Thank you! Actually I'm hunting for togo in sliver but this is what I received :smile:

I have a Clémence B35 and absolutely love it. I slightly prefer Clémence leather over togo, although they can be very similar. Clémence is softer and takes color so well! And the fine grains are just so gorg! My bag is 2 years old and looks and feels like new. She doesn't fall, slouch or anything, although I used it almost daily for the past 2 years. I recently started to rotate my bags more, in order to reduce the wear and tear from daily use.
Well with the hw it is all about personal preferences. I think that I would choose silver hw over gold. When you are offered a bag, and it comes in a great color-leather combo, I would get it in either hw, as I have jewelry in both, gold and silver. And I am not that picky with hw. Black and ghw are a great combo imo, and your new bag is tdf. Such a beauty, such a classic, such a timeless piece! I hardly could get tired of seeing such a bag over and over again. Enjoy your new bag!
Thanks for your great comment :cool:
 
Hi everyone, I'm looking for my first birkin and am torn between a 30 and 35. I currently have a LV neverfull MM (which i find useful but a bit big at times) and LV turenne PM which I love and use the most-am I best looking for a 30? Thanks for any advice.
For my personal, I prefer 35 but I got an offer for 30 first so I decide to grab it :P
 
My first togo was black+phw and it was my most prized baby, but since using it for a few years, i think i now prefer ghw and am on the hunt for a gold now...although the boyfriend says he doesnt see much of a difference:noggin:
 
I have black togo B30 with PHW and I also have the same thought that I want GHW with black.... Perhaps it is that "grass is greener" syndrome. Your clemence B looks lovely. Congrats!!!
