Interesting that the large majority chose a 35 B, when supposedly it is out of fashion.

If it were one from my own collection, it’d be either Fauve Barenia 35 PHW or Noir Chèvre 30 PHW. That would be a very, very hard choice 
Of all my bags (not that there are so many) there are probably five I will never let go, and those are two of the five.
If I could own only one Birkin of all the Birkins ever made, it would be either Noir Barenia 35 PHW or Noir matte croc 35 PHW.

I am decidedly not a B person, as I much prefer the other styles I have. That said, I do have one at the moment, a Black Box 30 GHW, which I absolutely love. As others have mentioned, it has so many great memories attached to it, and has never failed to receive a compliment. If there is any drawback, it's that it gets a little too much attention.
My 35 B Gold Togo PHW, a classic!
Omg all three of us chose the same! Hey, bag twins!
Diane, when you have a Birkin that looks like that you NEVER need another one. The hardware on that bag is exquisite. I would love to see a really good close up of the hardware! Please.
Yes, I had heard that over a decade ago as well. But why do we never see a new black, olive or dark brown barenia?
Previously stated I couldn’t part with a B30 in chocolate Clemence. I meant Togo!
B30 Chevre Mysore SO in Gris T/Etain. Love everything Chevre Mysore, B30 is the perfect size for me, and it was my first SO (a memorable experience that I'd treasure forever).
Also interesting that every bag that I’ve seen has been a neutral, mainly black or tan. Hermes does colors so well, but the neutral reign supreme.
Perhaps because whatever they can get, they prefer in the House classic and iconic Fauve? Ebene in smooth Barenia is making a small comeback. About 3 years ago I was personally offered a Birkin 25 in Paris which I declined. There are at least other 2 members here with bags in those specs so there is hope.

This is a really fun game thread. I actually chose to post my BBB 30 because that is closest in specs to Jane’s original. I don’t use mine much now, as I prefer to carry colour in the country I live in at present. The husband knows it is one bag I will never let go of.

My one and only is a B30 in ebene Barenia with phw. It was my first Birkin and the only one I need. I turned down one B offer before it and several beautiful B offers after. I’m not really a handheld bag type of girl but I try to use her as much as I can and will keep it forever to hopefully pass it down one day.
