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.

Sounds like you have made your decision:smile1:
Your chanel bags are better for evening than the 30cm (which is a tote and not a dressy bag) and since you haven't carried it during the day, perhaps you should just sell it.
You will make somebody else very happy and you can get the bag that is more useful for your lifestyle.

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

It seems you really like the 35, so I would grab it now you have the chance.

However, there's no way I would sell a 30 Raisin B with ghw...I lovvvee that combination and wouldn't mind to own it one day (and I have Black 35 B phw too).
If I were you, I would definitely sell the Garden Party and Kelly wallet that you did not use yet.
I am not a fan of Evelyn GM so I would sell that too. And maybe there are other non H. bags you could sell to fund this purchase?

I am afraid you might regret it once you let go of the 30 Raisin B with ghw.
But...if you are absolutely sure you won't have any regrets selling it, then go ahead and get the Black B instead.

Good luck :D!

I definitely would not sell your b 30cm. Great size, very versatile. Perhaps sell some other items in your closet and save up for the remaining cost of the 35cm B. A black B in this size will come around again, but I think you may regret selling your 30. Good luck with your decision!

Thank you all for your advice, it really has been so helpful. I feel equally torn between the 2 B's so I've decided to buy the Black B35 and keep the B30 raisin.

I think everyone is right, I may regret selling my B30 but I'll also regret not buying the B35. Both sizes have their uses in my wardrobe.

I'll try and sell my other bags but if not, I'm sure in time, I will find use for them at an occasion.

Seems like you really loved the 35. I love my B30s and would sell the GP, wallet and L first. B30s are a bit harder to find than 35s ....you may regret it and might have a difficult time to get again. Good luck.
