Stunning Outfit!
I ordered a Birkin 40, in Togo Chocolate with GH...
I'm undecided between Birkin or HAC 40!
Congrats again!
Congrats on your order! I've had both Birkin 40's and HAC 40's and honestly the Birkin is much more user friendly. For me it wasn't the weight issue but how bulky and cumbersome the base of the HAC is. Don't get me wrong I adore the profile and sleekness of the HAC but for overall day to day use the Birkin is much better.
At one point I had 3 HAC 40's but I've sold 2 to make way for Birkin 40s...the only HAC I kept is my Toile and Barenia because it's just too beautiful to ever sell!!! Hope that helps!
Thank you very much, I just registered to PF, although for some time I follow your conversations, and I have a lot to learn.
I find the combination Toile - Barenia fantastic and I agree with your statement. Congrats!
Regarding the choice between Birkin HAC or 40, I just based it can be used every day, and I decided to opt for a Birkin.
About my order, I found some difficulty, because I chose Chocolate, but after the Podium in July, the SM told me that the color was not proposed for the PE 2013. The color was replaced with a new one, the name is Brune and, according to the information of my SM, should be colder than Chocolate.
We'll see ... short-coming in boutique new colors!
Honestly, I know HAC comes in 40 & 50cm, but in the past there were 32 & 36cm. I'm not an expert, and I don't really know if those sizes still exist. Maybe some of the ladies in the forum can answer your question. I'm kinda curious myself.
Thank you. HAC is big and has no pockets or compartments. For everyday use I agree with the others that a Birkin is much more functional. Also, it's taller and depending on what you put in there, it can get very slouchy. But in the end, I guess it's all a matter of preference. Congrats on your order and hopes it works out. I'm going to Europe in the summer and hoping and waiting (fingers crossed) that I can pick up a new bag.
Thank you for the advice!
I think sooner or later to add to my wish list a HAC 40.
In my experience here in Italy is very difficult to get bags (B's, K's, or HAC) at the time of entry into the store ... otherwise this happens in Paris FSH, particularly after the delivery of the first afternoon, on a day during the week! The weekend is a bit more difficult ...
but I think you are already aware of this.
that's nice size everyday bag that ive been looking for! And in barenia is to die for!
good choice!
