Do You Prefer Size 30 or 35 Birkin?

[glennalum]

30 is easier on the hands for travel. My 35 is a nightmare to carry, it is so heavy!

35 as I am 5´7" and the 35 looked perfect when I tried it on at my local H boutique. And I love the more casual look of the 35. The 30 is more lady-like IMO.

Hi, does anyone knows what size of gold birkin is she using? is it 30 or 35? i think the size is perfect. i don't know where else to post this. i can't seem to find a thread that discusses about size that allow chatters.
your help is greatly appreciated

Both sizes are 35, Victoria Beckham rarely carrys 30 and only bag I can recall she had in 30 was a Himalyan.

I prefer the 30'' since I am petite (5'3) and don't carry much stuff with me, actually the 30'' is actually a big bag for me, I usually carry much smaller ones!

I have both. Prefer 35 in neutrals (although my 35 is BJ), for work, and 30 in pop of colour for weekends. My 30 is in epsom so it's feather light compared to my Togo35 and a joy to carry Still wanting black and etoupe 35 though....

I definitely prefer 30 for everyday (work/shopping/dinner), goes perfectly into the evening and I love this! The weight is great too. 35's just get so heavy on my arm.

However, I just took my barenia/toile combo to the park with my son and it was PERFECT! A 30 would have been too small for snacks, etc. The toile on the 35 helps bring down the weight factor

Serious ditto! They are both great options (also 5'7, smallish frame) The 30 is a ladylike sac a main the 35 is a tote.

after all my research and looking at pics on the forum, i decided on a 35, i'm 5"3

its great for work (carrying files, ipad etc), travelling and transits into a nice casual tote too

for bright pop colors I prefer 30s

I am 5'8 and I have both 35 and 30 which I interchange a lot. I like the 30 when I go out for dinner and such.. the 35 is great when you have more stuff to put in (like travelling) but of course gets a little heavier too. And agree with costa, I like 30 with bright colors too.

I really want to like the 30, but I tried a tester bag on yesterday and it looked very small on me. I am 5'7 and slim build. So I will stick with 35. I find a 32 Kelly perfect though!

I am really, really happy that I got the 35cm for my Birkin. There was actually another in 30cm I was looking at, and I went so far as to cut out an imaginary bag out of paper so I could imagine with the 30cm looked like in my hand! And even though I am 5'3'', it felt very very small to me. But I migrate towards bigger bags in all designers, like in Chanel I don't like the flaps any smaller than a jumbo. So it depends what feels comfy.

Personally I don't think the size and color are related-- I think the brights and the exotics look just as fabulous in 35cm. I do understand though, for a 'fancier evening' look, a smaller 30cm in an exotic makes more sense.

I prefer the 30 in the bright colors and the 35 in the classics. That said, I rarely carry my Black 35 because it is too heavy. I am on the hunt for a 30 in a bright.
