Do You Prefer Size 30 or 35 Birkin?

[sophia_1688]

hey everyone,

thanks so much on your opinions, now i feel more secure purchasing my 35 birkin, and hope it suits me well! thanks again!

Another vote for the 35cm. It will look perfect on you!

If you worry about weight of the bag though, you should go with a 30cm. A 35 is heavy even when empty.

hey,

thanks for the advice, i really appreciate it........i think i'm leaning more towards a 35 too...how long have you had your birkin? i bet you love yours just as much as i'll love mine. thanks again

For a tall lady, the 30 cm has more of a handbag look while the 35 is more of a carry all tote. I have a very tall friend, retired model, who looks elegant carrying a 30 cm. I think it mainly depends on how much stuff you want to carry around.

I (5,61) love to wear both sizes: The 30 for the evening or a short trip downtown, the 35 for more shopping or for work. I mean the 35 is more popular but a lot of people speak about the "new in-size" of 30.

Hopefully, I will get a 35 one day when I have collected more 30s!!! As I would love one for travelling - such a chic carry-on! However, for every day use - because I don't have to lug much stuff around with me - I prefer the 30 cm Birkin. Originally, it was the Hermes SA who choose the size for me - I went into the store to place an order and she had me model various Kellys - as no Birkins were available to check the size and she choose the 30 cm for me. I am 5'5" and around 105 lbs. I think as you are 5'10 - the 35 would look great with your height!

I think 35 would look good on you.

everyone talks about the 35 being a better size, but can anyone detail WHAT actually fits into a 30 and what fits into a 35?

can anyone maybe compare it to a popular designer bag from this past year, possibly LV speedy 30, or Gucci pelham/abbey, Prada gauffre, Tod's D-bag, or Chanel Grand shopping tote? or whichever other popular bags you can think of?

hey everyone,

i need help from you all! i'm going to purchase a black togo w/gold or silver hardware, but can't decide on size. i've never compaired both side by side so don't really know how much bigger the 35 is vs a 30. i stand at the height of 5'10'' and very thin.......which size would you guys recommend on me wearing? which size is the most popular one by the way. thanks for replying

You have the height advantage to carry a 35cm, no problem. 30cm might look quite tiny for you. That said, it's not all about aesthetics and how the bag measures up with your body frame. It's also about whether you will find a 35cm significantly heavier than a 30cm in the same leather.

35cm is very popular here in Asia. It's often recommended because it's got more oomph .... For a bag this big, it's bound to be an attention grabber.

I was to-ing and fro-ing with the 35cm and finally made up my mind that 30cm is great with me, and 32cm HAC is for days I need to dump a cardigan inside the bag. It would be fantastic if Hermes produces a 32cm Birkin! That would be all so swell!

I vote for 35 cm Birkin for your height!

 

[theglamorous]

I like the 30.

 

[addicted]

For your height I'd say 35. I'm only 5'2" and prefer the 35 very much. I feel the 30 is too small for me (especially in the birkin).

 

[Kellybag]

If you go solely by height I say the 35.

Ask yourself though...how much will you be carrying? If you don't carry much your inside contents will swim all around in the bag. Sometimes buying larger isn't always the best. I feel you need to think about that just a bit.

If you are thin you could get away with both sizes.

The 35 does have a really great look compared to the 30...it is also heavier.

with your height, a 35 cm would be just perfect..
