Ddid you buy the 30 as a compromise when you wanted the 35? Why don't you use some of the others yet? If you don't use and really want a 35, sell the lindy etc. If it's just because you are offered a 35, keep your collection.

Hello tPF,

I have been offered a Birkin 35 black Togo leather with silver hard wear direct from a hermes boutique, I only buy from the boutique.

I currently own a Birkin 30 raisin Togo leather. Lindy coco 34, garden party 36 gold all leather unused, Kelly wallet black unused, Evelyn blue sapphire GM & Victoria in a petroleum colour...can't remember the real name!

Questions:

Do I sell my Birkin 30 & other bags to the equivalent cost of the 35 and buy the black 35?

Or just turn down the 35? And keep with what I have?

I wish I could keep them all both but I can't.

Hermes is my hobby, I only spend a set amount so I don't break that rule...I buy for fun and the 'chase' of that all elusive bag.

Which one would you choose if you were only allowed to own 1 Birkin?

Thanks for your kind guidance. Xx

Def keep the B30 raisin for me - prefer that size and colour.
If you really preferred the black one I don't think you'd need to ask for help - Just IMO

If your joy comes from the "chase", (and as someone who relates to this, I truly get that) then you have been offered one of the best playing cards in the game "Togo Black Birkin 35 PHW". I don't think you can say no to this! :tup:

If you have to sell, sell everything BUT the B. They're hard to get and the price keeps rising.

Keep your raisin B if at all possible. You can sell everything else. The new 35B will replace the garden party. The K wallet is still unused so you prob aren't using that much anyway. I do love my Lindy but it is a 30 and I tend to grab my K35 more often.

A black 35 Togo with PHW is a forever combination, in my opinion. What a lucky problem to have!!

It never gets better than Black B Togo with PHW. If it was me...I'd jump on it. Get rid of other bags from your collection but definitely keep your B30 (my fav size and so easy to carry). You'd have a neutral and pop of color in different sizes. Good luck.

If you don't want to go over a financial threshold I would sell the unused items and 1 more bag and make the purchase, keep your Raisin 30 B :smile1:

Thank you so much for all the help and advice. I was thinking of selling what I don't use/love and trying to keep the both. But thought myself extravagant for doing so...it seems I'm not the only one to think this though so not so extravagant after all. Watch this space, there maybe a reveal coming up!

There is NO WAY that I would recommend selling a raisin 30cm in favor of a black 35cm black togo with PHW. This is probably the most common and easiest birkin to get. IMO there are other more interesting dark colors that Hermes offers than black, anyway.
If you must sell something, sell the lindy and the evelyn but NOT the 30cm.

I went into the store with my B30 to compare: B30 was HEAVIER than the B35! Both are Togo leather, even the SA was surprised. Are they using a thinner leather? It felt thinner and of a lesser quality...plus it was slouchy already...my B30 is only 18months old so I'm surprised the obvious difference between the bags.

I preferred the black B35 PHW for everyday heavy use as it looks more casual, I like the slouchy look. The raisin B30 GHW is more stiff and more dressy, I tend to use my Chanel collection for evenings so I have literally used the B30 3/4 times in the evenings and never during the day.

Oh what a dilemma to have? I know a lucky dilemma but dilemma all the same.
