Never stopped. Have a couple of 30's I seldom carry. I often use a 40. I take a knitting project where ever I go. You never know when you will have a long wait, including stuck in traffic.
Are you wearing your 35cm Birkins again?

Wife never stopped wearing her 35s. Loves them.
Again? Always! That is the classic size. Any size B from 20-35 is ok by me; I'd travel with a 40 if it had a shoulder strap.
I love the ‘tote’ factor of my 35. I can carry a knitting project, my water bottle and any shopping done during the day. If it didn’t make my arm and back hurt or be such an attention-grabbing bag I would wear it a lot more often.
I think it’s a v well-balanced bag in terms of dimensions… so it looks great even if it’s not the most “attractive” size these days.

I have been using my B35s for work everyday now for many years.
I have read this as well. My 35cm box raisin has been sitting in the box for years. I thought about selling it because it was never worn, but then I think that one day I might want one that big. My usual choice for a Birkin is 30cm. I never had any issues about carrying a 35cm Kelly and do wear those. I never bought into the tiny bag craze in any event. IMO it is for the very young or the very petite. I also don't think a day bag should be stuffed so much that the shape is compromised.
BTW, when I did get a price for it a few years ago for the 35cm, I thought the offers were too low. It would be interesting to see if they are higher now.
Funny that you started this thread because I was thinking about the 35cm a few days ago and trying to give it a wear.
In a nutshell. Why do we even listen to these people? They are all trying to sell you something you don't have.
I've been carrying my b35 raisin togo so often: groceries, errands, everything! It's been through rain, put on the ground, and it's super lived in. The resin has peeled from the handles, so it may need a spa soon. Occasionally I switch to a low-key tote, but b35 fits my current needs the most. I have B25s and B30s that I don't carry as often. This year I am trying to rotate more of my things so I use them vs hoard.
I got my 35b 12 years ago and am still carrying her today! A classic will always be in style.
I wear my K40 (sellier) almost everyday to carry my ipad, car keys, phone, documents, and wallet. I am barely 5 ft but it meets my needs. Granted, it's in porc which is really light and easy to care for.
I rarely use mine due to the weight, but I really should. I would never sell them.
I have two Birkins, one Black with gold hardware and one Mykonos blue with palladium hardware. I and 5"7 and love the B35 size. Not too big, not too small for me. I dont use them often (and I should!) but when I do, I dont overload them. I will never sell them either!!
Update: I added my laptop in a slim leather sleeve to this ”carry” yesterday, and even though all I did was drive to my destination and carry it inside, I was reminded how heavy a B35 can be (no wonder the pre-loved ones often have stretched handles). I decided to carry a bottle of champagne separately.
