Congratulations adorable baby
 
Introducing my second B 25, in Fauve Barenia. Finally came full circle. As mentioned previously, I declined an offer of a Barenia Birkin 25 back in 2009 or 2010, and it's been one of my (many) H regrets ever since. I was so shocked to be offered it again this year! I feel very lucky as I know this is a rare piece.

Here she is with big sister in gold 35.

Dear tpfer, do u carry b25 as workhorse bag? Is it too small ?

I tried carrying it to work for a few days. Although I can put everything I need inside, I still prefer the size of 30 cm for a workhorse bag, may be due to the ease of carrying at the crook of your arm and also the bigger size gives it more "presence" when you suit up etc. But I think 25 cm looks great with dresses. In short, it can be a workhorse bag if you can put everything you need (works well for me). But the look is totally different with 25 cm and any bigger sizes.

Hope it helps [emoji7]
 
Help ladies! Am I totally nuts? I just turned down a B25!! They are so hard to get ahold of. I have a B35 but after awhile it gets super heavy and I wanted something smaller. I walked into Hermes to see my SA and was offered a B25 right away. The only problem is that my B35 is colvert and this one was almost the exact same color. [emoji17]. It was just a tiny bit lighter but still way too close. Did I do the right thing?! I went into the store in hopes of getting a 30 but never expected a 25. Now I am totally second guessing myself since the 35 and 25 are so much different size wise.

You totally did the right thing, The B25 is so cute but it is not a B30. I love it for the right occasion but it could never take the place of a B30 due to the size and the ease of carry. Since it is so close in color to your B35, I think you did the right thing. If it was totally different and a color you love, then my answer would be different. If you want a 30, wait for a 30!!! The right baby B will come your way in the future!!!
