Etoupe Birkin 25, epsom or togo ???

togo in bleu Celeste but what’s the plan for the bag? Are you looking for something bright? All year round? 32 is a large bag so quite a large pop of color. I would not choose epsom personally. The corners will ding and rub very quickly at that size. Vc is a limited range color. IMO Hard to match and can’t really be worn beyond spring and summer. Bleu Celeste might be easier to coordinate and can be worn year round.

I very much appreciate your thoughts.

I neglected to add any context, thank you for the prompt.
Yes! I am looking for a brightly coloured bag (colour is my lifeline!), more for three season use as I prefer a bigger bag in winter (subarctic rainforest living) not for formal wear but I trend to more dressy styling. I would like to use the bag on a semi-regular basis.

I’m 5’8, 150 lb. I think 32 is my sweet Kelly spot.
I very much appreciate your point regarding corner wear. Not something I’d have foresaw and I don’t really baby bags.


Thanks again one and all for the offered input. Much appreciated.

Hallooo!
I am using this previous thread to ask the same question, but for a 32 Kelly. It’s between a Kelly in Anemone Epsom or a 32 Kelly in Togo Vert Criquet or 32 Kelly in Togo Bleu Celeste.

Edited to add context:
I would like this bag for three season use.
I am looking for a more dressy ( not formal) style. I like a more structured appearance (both bag and personal style).
I am NOT a bag baby-er.
I live for colour.
I am 5’8, 150 lb.


The Bleu Celeste bag is epsom leather, Retourne style. My apologies for the mistake.

Thank you everyone for taking the time to share opinions. It is much appreciated.

I would go for anemone. This is one of my favorite purples besides cassis. 32 is a good size for you given height. Anemone can be worn all year round and complements other colors well. Togo is a hard bag too. The decision is whether you want more structure and go for Epsom. I had an Epsom b30 and corners did not wear well. And with a kelly you would want to be careful with the flap. If you bent it too far you will get bad creases. I learned the hard way.
