Drtng and Shoes- thank you for posting that! That was so helpful! The 35cm birkin does not look that much bigger than the 30cm? In my head, I always thought it would be HUGE in comparison. Am I crazy? So, if I am only 5'1", do you think I could pull off a 35cm if that is what is available to me? (My first choice would still be a 30cm)
I love the Kelly 32 for everyday, too! However, since I am short I prefer to have 32's in darker or more neutral colors. With brighter colors, I'd go with a 28.
Anyone have a Birkin 40cm? It's huge but if you're about 5'3" and above it would make the most stylish carry-on!

Kellybag & Greentea my DH is going to take away computer soon! 2 birkins would send him right over the edge! LOL! What am I saying, 1 would do it! Ha ha ha! I think I would do a 30cm in a neutral color and a 28cm Kelly in cyclamen or fuschia! A girl can always dream!
Oh my! Thanks, dianagrace, for linking to this thread. I woke up this morning with this very question echoing in my brain.
After reading all of your posts, I was wondering -- can anyone tell me how much the 35 weighs empty versus the 30?
Until this morning my heart was set on the 35 because I do a lot of transatlantic travel. Given the recent tightening of the restrictions on carry-on bags, would the 35 be considered too heavy or too big to take on the plane?
Have any of you 35 Birkin owners flown BA in the past two weeks with your Birkin as a carry-on?

From the BA site: "Customers travelling from the UK will be able to take on board as hand baggage one cabin bag no bigger than 45cm x 35cm x 16cm, the size of a small laptop bag, inclusive of wheels and handles"
The base of the 35 is a bit too big. Not sure how strict they are with including the handles in the dimensions, but that will add another 14cm...

Thanks, beaumonde, tokyogirl and kellybag! 
Hmm... well I hope they won't mind the extra 2cm at the base. Otherwise, the 35 Birkin is well within the other dimension restrictions (I'm not counting the handles, crossing my fingers that the airline won't either).
I was so focused on the 35 that I hadn't even thought of the 32 HAC, but tokyogirl, that's an inspired suggestion! I'll definitely look into it -- thank you!!
You guys are really terrific! Thanks for being so responsive!
