I AM FORTUNATE TO HAVE BOTH SIZES. I AM 5'2" AND BOTH LOOK GREAT, BUT I PREFER THE 35. I THINK IT DEPENDS ON YOUR PERSONAL STYLE.:heart::heart:
I HAVE A 30 TOGO BLEU JEANS PHW,
30 CLEMENCE PEAU D'ORANGE PHW.
35 TOGO CHOCOLAT W/ BLACK PIPING AND INTERIOR PHW,
35 BOX RAISIN W/ CYCLAMEN PIPING, AND INTERIOR,PHW.

I'd suggest getting the 35 as you're 5'7. You can fit paper files/folders inside a 35 without folding them. So might be more convenient for you since you'll be bringing it to school. Also, it's alot more easier to get a 35 in paris as a walk in. 30cms are more popular in Asia.

well i think i can help becuase im 25 so even though you are younger a lot younger i get it ,i feel what you are saying as i got my first birkin at 19 30cm is divine very comfortable when we are talking about exotics it is a question of wearability and look because when you go for exotics its a beeter size because of use in togo if this is your option i would go for a 35cm remember the birkin is very versatile and can be worn in many ways to make it lok smaller an more formal to larger and spotier the 35cm is perfect in the sense that it provides room capacity and again a series of different looks so if it were me i would go for a 35cm and would not make it black and only black here me out i have point give this woman options especially in paris you can go for the following that are dark colors and provide a mystery to the people who see it on you because at night they look dark almost black and the shock by showing a hint of the color this is just for you to get more chaces on a birkin 35cm togo in paris or open up on the leathers if you like the togo type go for tourillon clemence or vache fjord they are different but not oposites so the colors sorry i tend to drift (very passionate about H) raisin , blue indigo (practically black by the way) or maybe the in the grey areas i mean you dont want to go for a shocking color on your first birkin but black!, my first was black and i would of gone for a darker different shade because i allready had a black kelly that i eventually sold and see look at it this way black is the basic prfect birkin but in a room if you spotted another birkin 80% chance it will be black well this is what i think hope it helps birkel

o and the reason why i sujest the options is just so that this nice friend has more chances on finding you a 35cm in the specs you so good luck and remember once you get the birkin no other handbag will match it !

Barbie, I have both sizes and there is quite a material difference. I use the 35 for work and travel whilst the 30 is perfect for week-ends and restaurant outings.

I was at the Madison Avenue boutique last week and for some reason there was a book of the bags lying out on the scarf counter, like a buyer's book. It was divided into sections and was opened to bags for evening (in French of course). They do consider a 30cm suitable for evening, which did surprise me a bit, but maybe because I am petite; I use my 30cm for day and evening, but my next bag will be a 25cm for evening.

well bbc it kind of does happen to me im not petit more on the thin talish and i do consider the 30cm as a dress up evening bag as oposed to the 35cm in leather that i all ways wear for day and my one 35cm croc i never wear i just think its the wrong size 30cm in exotic for evening 35cm in leather for day bag sometimes i feel im the one thats off but then thats just me i guess !!!!! bit crazy

I just sold my black 35 ghw to mother, clearly it was not for me, I felt like carrying luggage. I will stick to size 30, I think it is perfect for my lifestyle and my physical build.

All my birkins are 35cm in Chevre leather and i'm 5'2. The weight hasn't been a problem for me at all since Chevre is a lot lighter. I don't find it heavy at all unless I load it up with junk, but even then its still not too bad. I guess I just like bigger bags in general. So only 35's for me. I find 30cm too small, unless its crocs, then I'll take it in either 30cm or 35cm :graucho:
