I’ve been stalking this forum for weeks on end and finally have the opportunity to get Birkin preloved in my HG combos!! But I can only get one...
B35 gold PHW togo
OR
B35 etoupe GHW swift
These two colors and hardwares are my HG combos! I like contrasting cool and warm with hardware, so these options are great neutrals for me. I wear a lot of tan trench coats and pea coats, and mostly black pants and blouses to work.
I want a Birkin as a work bag because for the price, I want it to be my workhorse! Other than color and hardware, weight is also important to me. I love the look of Togo because I prefer textured leather, but I hear Swift if very lightweight (but maybe less carefree?).
I think the gold togo is ultimately my most desired “look” but if it’s too heavy for me to use for work and carrying a laptop, I don’t want it to just sit in my closet! I definitely tend to use my most practical bags the most, even if there are others in my collection I like the look of more.
What has been your experiences? Would you go with the bag you like the leather of more, or the bag that you might use more because of weight?
