Do You Prefer Size 30 or 35 Birkin?

[OneMoreDay]

How much does having batwings, flap inside on b30 and 35 affect the size and look of the bag though? I've seen Eva Longoria's Gold Togo B35 batwinged and it still suited her petite frame. it didn't look overwhelming in anyway. Maybe the colour helped?

B35 for me

I only have one B and its in a 30. I'm 5'6" and have tried a 35 but it just looks way too big on me. So, I think I would continue to only get 30's. Also, the 35 seems significantly heavier to me as well. Good luck!

I really think it depends on your height. I'm 5'11 and the B30 looks like an evening bag on me.... I definitely prefer the B35 as an all-round bag (at the moment anyway)

All my birkins are 30 and I am 5'6.

I find the 35 a bit too big for everyday purpose and the bigger the bag the more I fill so not a good practice for my body.

That being said, my job calls for a lot of traveling and one of the best purchases I have ever made is my graphite Victoria bag which is 35cm long. I simply would not be able to travel without this bag now. I don't know why but I just feel extremely secure and comfortable with it. I am contemplating whether I should get another Victoria in gold or a lindy in midnight blue.

B30 because I'm petite and I think B35 is too heavy. I also don't carry that much stuff

Any other ladies around 5'2" here with Bs to weigh in?

I prefer the 32K by far but am unsure about B sizes.

I can carry a 32k but not a 35b. I find it way too big for my frame and when handheld the bottom is near my ankle and since I am usually in flats, it looks ... not nice to me anyway. However if I disregard the visual incompatibility, the 35b carries a lot and I loved it for work, laptop, documents and other stuff.

I prefer the 30 most because it carries a lot and doesn't overwhelm me.

I know and adore your style and I think you can definitely carry off a 35.

My question is do you want to lug a big big bag around? oh I'm 5'2.5" or 159cm TALL

I also concur that birkins were meant to be tote bags and so wanted a B35 even though I'm 5'3". Now with all the stylish ladies out there with their B30s, it has made me reconsider.

I'm 5ft 3 and bought the 35.
I already have quite a few medium sized bags (K28, J31, L30) and felt I needed a slightly bigger bag to round off my capsule H.
I do enjoy the extra space and the feel the size gives it more a casual vibe.

35 more casual, but It's true that in this period everybody wants small bags... my SA told me that few years ago they had many request of 40... that's fashion.
But personally own both and I love wear them in different occasion.

 

[Rouge H]

I prefer a 30 and to carry the bag not have it carry me as a 35 does, at least on me.

 

[VigeeLeBrun]

I definitely use my B35s as more of a tote, it fits so much more in it.

 

[honhon]

i've cleaned up my birkin collection, and the only 35cm i've got left is a togo black phw - a work horse. i narrowed down to keeping four 30cm's - GT, etain, chocolate, and tangerine ostrich. i own one 25cm and its a natural sable, but eyeing black cutie as well - keeping an eye out for this future candy

 

[Pourquoipas]

My B35 casual Clémence is for work and holds A4, B30 is a handbag when I need to feel more elegant.

 

[ypph]

I'm 5ft4" and I feel that the B30 suits my height the most. Don't usually carry much and when I do, I still feel like B30 fits what I need
