Dear all, I’ve been drooling for a B25 for long time, how much stuff could it hold? I am thinking about getting one which I would use on daily basis. I usually carry B30 or C24 which could pretty much hold my stuff. TIA for your valuable experience sharing and advice!
It can hold quite a lot. Obviously less than the B30, but if you can fit your things into a C24, you will easily be able to fit it into the B25.
I am not a light packer, and I don't need to leave anything at home when I use B25.
Glad to help
Would you mind if I ask one more thing? Would you think B25 is more spacious than C24?
Thanks again !!
Yes a 25B fits a lot more.
Hi ladies! I am thinking about adding a 25cm birkin, but not sure if I can wear this in Winter due to the smaller handle drop and overall petite size of the bag. Do you find it impractical in the winter time since a heavy coat will limit how it is carried? I love the petite size, but not sure if it is best reserved for warm weather days. I would love to hear everyone's experience with their little gems! Thanks so much for any input!

Even with my shearling coat on I am having no problem with it. [emoji5]
I agree with BBC, and although I live in a warmer climate, I bring it on ski trips and wear it with puffer and shearling coats. To me, it's the most wearable of the Birkin sizes.Hi ladies!

Thanks so much, Werner! I imagine you look incredibly chic with your puffer coat and gorgeous little B!

I haven’t had a problem carrying it around during the winter either, regardless of the type of coat I’m wearing. Size wise, it’s more than enough for everything I need, even in the winter (+ gloves and scarf). When I don’t feel like hand carrying a bag, I wear my Kelly Sellier 25 instead. It’s a lot more limited in space and slower to get into, but you’re completely hands free like you would be with any other shoulder bag. Aside from the strap, I think one of the biggest reasons I wore my K25 more than my B25 this winter is because it is Black Epsom versus Etoupe Swift. Don’t let me dissuade you from buying a B25; I just wanted to give you the pros and cons of each, but do keep in mind how delicate the leather you’re choosing is, if you want to wear it year round. Color is something to consider as well; I’d pick something that works year round and a color that if the weather turns on a dime, you won’t end up with a surprise on your hands.
It’s an amazing bag, it’s the most versatile size wise and it works for day or evening (to a degree).
Good luck!
