Thanks for posting the photos, Ninja Sue and Patz. I really appreciate seeing the bags carried. I'm pleasantly surprised at how "unminiature" they look - even on someone 5' 4". The 25 looks great on both of you. My 30 Birkins are beginning to cause me problems because of their weight (and all the crap I pile in them) so this might be an alternative - it would keep me from loading my life into my bag.
