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

Totally agree about the 32 HAC, it's a great in between size and holds a lot. Lately I've been trying to get more exotics for the larger bags because they are infinitely lighter than togo or clemence. I also find box to be the lightest of the leathers but since they no longer seem to be in production for the larger bags am always on the look out for a good pre-owned. I :heart: box leather.

If I had to choose between the two I'd say more towards dressy. The squareness of the birkin makes it more day use for my taste and the slightly more narrowed line of the HAC makes it less so. The 28 HAC would lean more towards a night size but I sold mine because it was too small for day use and I couldn't comfortably get my wrist through the handles. The handles are definitely shorter on the HAC's.

Thank you so much, Audreylita! :flowers:

Thanks also for mentioning that the handles are shorter....because I'm wearing my 35's on my shoulders half the time...

I have both 30 and 35 too. Size 30 is much more manageable in weight and proportion for me (I'm only 5'4" tall or short :) ) but I much prefer a 35 in terms of volume as I tend to bring a lot of stuff in my bag, although unfortunately I can't really handle the weight after awhile. No real preference. It'll depend on the leather and colour.

In the perfect world, I would love to just carry a prop H to match every screen shot and not break a sweat:giggles:... sooo not happening

I concur w/ the exotic in the larger specs and loaded weight is always my concern:ghi5:exotics and box:ghi5:

Its perfect for me, bcos the handles are shorter so only hand or crook of the arm carry only
(:smooch: audreylita for mentioning that)

The HAC can be worn both ways casual vs dressy.
To simplify, a white shirt/ or T and choice of bottom from minimalist to blinged out. The textile for the shirt can vary from pima, chiffon, silk, even organza, style/cut is pertinent tho!

I find it pairs exceptionally well w/ fur silhouettes in the winter(sporty, casual, long, swing, gilet etc)

I started with 35 but soon realised that 30 is much better. I still have 1 35 but have been buying 30s instead.

Yes, same here. I like my 35 but I like the 30 size much better and I noticed that I do use my 30's more than my 35.
If I decide to buy another B. in the future, it's definitely going to be another 30 :yes:.

Wow. I love everyone's different opinions! I thought 35 would be the more popular size, but see many ladies prefer the 30. I only have 35s, but now feel compelled to investigate the 30 more seriously. LOL (just what I need -- more bags to "need")
