So happy to join the baby B club! Introducing b25 rose pourpre. Love it so much and for me sits very comfortably on my arm. Super light!

25
Also, although I am not a large person (I wear a US size 2/4) I could only arm carry the B25 on my forearm... not in the crook. If I had to grab something with the same hand that the bag was on, it dangled in mid air very awkwardly. It did not rest in a comfortable spot for me if I needed to use that hand. I grew tired of that fuss also. After about 4 wears, I was over it. That was also the same time that I acquired my first Constance 24. Once I got that, the B25 was never used again. As I stated before the B25.. size wise is amazing. Yes the Constance is a bit smaller but it worked for my minimal stuff. Sooooo if you're goal is to downsize, I HIGHLY recommend the Constance if you have never tried it.... HIGHLY.

So we went on a trip for 12 days and I pulled out my B30 for travel....been really using B25 or K28 or even my Constance wallet for the past year. Couldn't wait to get home and put the B30 away. Too big and too heavy! But understand I wanted a 25 for many years before I got my first. I always knew it would be perfect for me. B30 is just going to have to be for travel only....or maybe in 20 years if I ever have grandchildren!

I love that you wear your 25cm daily. My DH and DS surprised me with a little gem recently and I can not stop using it! I rarely use my 30cm due to weight and size, so I am thrilled to find a size I can use daily!

I agree that it depends on your wrist/arm size and whether you wear a bulky bracelet or watch. I have 5.5 inch wrists and can actually wear the B25 on my shoulder (only barely, and as a joke) and easily in the crook of my arm, but it becomes difficult when wearing a bulky bracelet because I don’t want to scratch the leather.
I think a huge reason I prefer the B25 is that it is much more discrete and understated than a B30 in the same specs due to the more average size for a handbag.

ITA with Israeli, if the handle drop was a tiny bit bigger the B25 might be the perfect bag cuz I otherwise love the size. Similarly to GNIPPOHS, I can get the bag over my watch and bangles with some maneuvering, but it sits awkwardly on my forearm just above the wrist, so maybe a 1/3-1/2 of the way up. If it could go up further closer to the crook it would be a lot more comfortable. My wrist size is 6.25" and I wear 7.25" bracelets btw.

Thank you ladies for taking the time to response to my question! Hopefully I'll have the chance to try one on in real life. I certainly don't carry a lot, so the size of the bag isn't the issue, but rather the ease of use and comfort (and well as aesthetics, of course).

You read my mind...except for one treasured B, they're all gone and replaced by B25/K28 and Constance. i like the lightness and compactness of these pieces and the freedom they afford when taking long walks.
