Do You Prefer Size 30 or 35 Birkin?

i know i am in the minority but i think 30cm looks plain weird on everyone. no matter how tall or short you are, it looks like a mini tote which doesn't make sense to my eye. 35 just suits the style better, to me. if i wanted a smaller bag, it definitely wouldn't be a birkin!
 
I have both and can say that both sizes are great options. I do think, however, that for day to day functioning the 30 is more practical. I find that with this size there is less "bumping into things" and provides sufficient room to carry all the regular required items. I have only one 30 and the rest are 35s and I have often said that the 35 can sometimes be cumbersome when I am trying to get somewhere fast and I don't need to be carrying 100 things. Hence, I specifically requested 30 to be the size for my last purchase. I do like the look of both on me and I think that my closet will always have at least one of each size. I think if I were to buy any more in the future, they would be 30s (except for perhaps one where I had no other option but to get it in 35)...
 
I wish they made a 32cm Birkin. The 30 is small but looks fine in brighter colours, the 35 even in darker colours looks too big sometimes...Le:girlsigh:Something in between would be perfect!!:p
 
I started with 35 but soon realised that 30 is much better. I still have 1 35 but have been buying 30s instead.

Same with me. I have several 35's but lately have scaled back and am into the 30 cm. It's just easier to handle, not to mention lighter! And it holds everything I need.
 
Same request as you dear -
:tender:The HAC/32 was the answer to my needs, and I love it more than the 30 and 35:tender:

I actually have both 30, 35, and 40 for different needs,
but prefer 30 as I tend not to tote the kitchen sink :p

I have a 30 and a 35, but I use them for different occasions (i.e. work/going out).

The 35 does get a tad heavy with everything piled into it, I once had a very sore shoulder from a whole day of toting it around (my fault, really... who the heck puts an iPad, a DSLR camera, wallet, cosmetic bag, 2 mobile phones and keys and carries all these around over 5 hours?!?!?):noggin:
 
35 is the perfect size for me. I had a B30 previously and had to let it go because it was apparently too small for me. Now my SA convinced me to try size 40 instead :rofl: (i am 5'7 and average build btw).
