I agree as well B25 is not small at all, but it is more a medium to large purse size compared to a tote size like B30 or B35. I can easily fit everything in B25 and I am not a light packer. I also think it is more under the radar compared to larger Birkins, which I like. I only have swift in very small size, kelly pochette, so I can't comment on that.

I am 5'6 and I have a B25 in swift. I adore her. Shes a great size for me who doesnt carry much everyday, and the smaller size is great from transition of day & night. I am bias to swift leather. Its one of my favourite leather & i find it is not as fragile as many has said. Fine scraches does fades away after a few rubs (or it just sink in after a few days).

This been said, I dont wear much accessories on my wrist. And kept my nails short all the time. I held my B25 most of the time & though it fits well at the crook of my arm, its a bit of a tight fit compare to B30.

Only get it if you love the size, color & leather. If you have doubts, or have a specific bag in mine, perhaps its better to hold on it.

Thanks! I love the swift leather. I already have togo and clemence bags and would like to add different H leather to my collection. I'm 5'7" so around your height. Sounds like the B25 size is not too small for our height. I don't like to carry much on the weekends or even day to day. I find B30 quite heavy when I put small wallet, umbrella, makeup bag, sunglasses in it. I just wanted to make sure it's not just a novelty bag and is practical as well. It's quite expensive of an item just to use once or twice. I'm all about calculating cost per use to justify all the H purchases :smile:

Its by far my most use H bag. & Pleasantly suprised with how carefree the swift is. Plus I like that its water resistance, and the lovely sheen is a plus. I understand you dilemma, its better for us to know what we are getting our self into before purchase. Else it will be an expensive lesson. Good luck on deciding!
