Hello everyone,

I hope you’re enjoying the festivities.

I’m torn between a birkin 25 and 30 and would probably end up getting them both one day. Question is which one would I get first… :)

I’ve watched various youtube videos but can’t still get a sense of the 25.

Whilst the 30 is practical, the 25 most certainly has a certain air of flair to it. I’m 6ft tall and curvy so I know that I the 25 would purely be handheld and could truly look like a ‘mini’ bag.

I have a Celine belt bag in size mini (largest size interestingly) and I believe the dimensions are rather similar to a b30.

Does the b25 fit a mini ipad and a Chanel woc?

I’d be grateful if I could see what fits in your b25!

Thanks a mill in advance,
M

Hi, I don't have an iPad mini but my regular sized iPad Pro fits (but I can't close the flap). It also fits a Chanel WOC. Hope this helps!

I can fit my IPhone 12, my small wallet/ or Kelly medium wallet and LV mini pochette accessories packed full along with ear pods. It’s purely handheld so I bought twillies. I use a small bag organizer.

Hi B25 owners! I finally got my hands on my first B25 togo and I love her so much. However I noticed the H stamp on the bag look a bit blurry and I wonder if that is normal given that togo leather is a bit 'bumpy'? Does the letter "I" (in the "IN" word) look too fat and stick to the letter "N"? Also the letter "E" in MADE looks very blurry and the middle line was cut off a bit?
I know that each Hermes bag is hand made so some minor flaws may happen, but since this is my first B, I'm super paranoid that people who don't know me would think I'm using fake :sad: (If I hadn't picked up the brand new bag from H boutique by myself, I would have suspected it's a fake too :)) ) Have anyone experienced blurry stamp like this before? Am I overthinking?

DBF has silently been following my H obsession for some years and a couple of days ago we were relaxing and somehow we started to talk about slgs and how much he likes H cardcases. The conversation slipped to Bs and I took out some of my bags. He said he thinks the B25 is the best size, anything bigger looks too big in his eyes for everyday use. I have 3 B25s and I love those bags, my black swift phw is my most used bag. He said the perfect one would be black ghw and smooth leather. I immediately started dreaming about a black barenia bag, but since it’s not going to happen I now crave for swift, perhaps jonathan or butler in black? I need to read more about these leathers. Has anyone been offered a B25 ghw swift bag lately?

Originally I craved for this bag for 2 yrs and when I was finally offered it with phw I took it with no regrets, but the craiving has returned, because of my DBFs honest opinion about the perfect bag...

The irony is I got a call 6 months after I bought my swift bag and I was offered the ghw version, but since I already had the same bag in phw I politely declined.

Carried my ebene barenia B25 yesterday [emoji3]

I got all excited after reading this and checked to see if my iPad Pro would fit in my b25 :lol: ...it does not. I have the larger iPad Pro though, so just chiming in for folks who might read the above so they know what size works. Based on holding mine in front of it, I could see the smaller iPad Pro fitting inside as stated.

Hi there! I do not yet have any H bags, but I've been adding items to my collection bit by bit, and a k25 and b25 are both on my dream wishlist. (As is the mini kelly.) My question is this: do you wear your bag with the sides "winged out" ever/often? This is my favorite look for the b25, but does it mess up the folds of it eventually to wear it like that?

In any event, I love to see your lovely bags with their wings out! ^_^

Hi all!

Was wondering if anyone notice when was the last time hermes produced a b25 retourne in epsom?
The recent alacarte orders only stated epsom can only be done in sellier style. Were we able to order b25 epsom retourne previously?

thanks!

B25 Retourne in Epsom was removed from the SO menu in fall of 2018. I saw a recent post on Facebook where someone shows a gold B25 Epsom and claims it’s a new bag with a Z stamp so I’m not sure if they are bringing it back.

Hi ladies,
Will like to know when you are in the washroom, how do you wash your hands without getting your B25 wet? I’m considering to get a B25 but I think due to the fact it has to be handheld, and can’t fit onto the crook of one’s arm, so it’s a hassle to wash hands while carrying it. Appreciate your input
