Hmmm I’m 5’8 and about 135 lbs. I’m debating between the b25 or b30 right now as I can have one this year. Self treat
ODE to the 25cm Birkin

Yes, I do think so. However, when I specifically requested for B25 last Dec, I was doubting myself if I could carry it on the crook of my arm when I saw my SA unbox it. [emoji13] When I tried it on, it was ok.
If not, I would decline it and get K25. I never decline what was offered to me especially since the item is what I requested in exact specifications. However, if it really didn’t fit me, I would decline than to spend so much on something that doesn’t fit me. That’s my thought.
Nope. I sold mine for that reason. I’m US size 2/4... so not a big person. Was so sad to let her go but wearing her was frustrating. Either go K25 or B30...
One important issue to consider is whether it makes a difference if you couldn’t carry it on the crook of your arm. I am 164cm with UK size 10 , US 4/6. I could carry it on the crook of my arm but I rarely do that as I always wear rings and sometimes with bracelets too. I am always scared that they would scratch the bag[emoji14].
Another thing to consider is to how much stuff you would carry in your bag. I don’t really love to size down my things to fit the bag, otherwise it would take too much effort ending up using the bag less frequently. H bags are far too pretty to just sit in the closet!
If you don’t carry much stuff in your bag, go for 25! It’s so light and cute and pretty! Anyway, 25 and 30 are both fabulous, I love them both [emoji8]
I was on the verge of just thinking that. Just thought well already have a kelly need to add a Birkin but I am the same as your sz and 5’8 and that was my true concern. Helpful comments. TY
Totally makes sense! I do wear a lot of rings and bracelets. TY didn’t even think about this!
Hoping there is or she can give me an idea of the size but I may get tired of it due to the reason. TY for the advice.
I can easily, but I don’t usually wear bracelets. The strap drop on mine is 4” if that helps. I can actually get mine almost up to my shoulder but I do have a petite frame.
I have seen Kendal Jenner w it and it looks tiny. She’s 5’10 and I am 5’8. It sucks because you can’t really try it on. I think it might be too tiny and I might get annoyed. Lol
I think the size will be OK for you, when just considering the size itself, but my personal impression is that you would probably get annoyed by it because the most limiting factor is the strap drop in regards to actually placing your hand through. Since you like to wear bracelets you would probably end up hand carrying it a lot of the time, which is not what you are looking for.
I also have one kelly and I got my first birkin size 25 after lots of researches and debates. I was concerned about the handles as well. It really depends on whether your arm is thin enough to carry it on the crook your arm. Also if you wear bulky bracelets it won't be comfortable to take the bag on/off. I have thin arms so I have no problem and I only wear thin bracelets like the Love bracelet.
