Are you using it purely for travel or did you consider bringing it to the office (if you work in one…) too?

Travel and a weekend tote. I switch between my B40 and HAC40 depending on how much I anticipate to carry for that day. Most times though, the birkin is sufficient for me but I can justify having both in my collection :smile: Coincidentally, I just submitted an HSS order for another B40 with PHW! Love the size 40s; we'll have to secure them before they're discontinued.

Hi all! New here. Just got myself a Cityback 30 in Gold Togo and absolutely loving it!

Bag itself is fairly unstructured when empty, so I hang it on a hook when not in use. But when I have items in it I feel like it sits just right.

This one was super hard to find. I could only find one for sale anywhere in the world, and I got lucky it happened to be in Japan and was in practically new condition! (I live in Tokyo)

I also have a vintage duffel (purchased here in Japan too) but I don’t know too much about it - couldn’t find any similar bags online. I think it was early 2000s but not sure. Let me know if you’re familiar with this one!

Bag size comparison: Birkin 35 versus Kelly 42 (aka Maxi Kelly) [Note: Sorry for the cross-posting!]

1) Kelly 42 is actually 40 cm and not 42 cm when I measured it on my own. (Please see: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/space-for-guys-their-hermes.377429/post-36020279).​
2) Both B35 and K42 are retourne and togo.​
3) Height: B35 is taller than K42 (because of its handles).​
4) Width: B35 is wider than K42 by ~1 cm or so.​
5) Length: K42 is bigger than B35 by ~5 cm or so.​

I hope this post is helpful for those looking for men's bags or bigger bags.🤩 Thank you!

My first quota bag offer (that I accepted): Birkin 25 Togo Bleu de Prusse in Retourne with Gold Hardware! 🤩

I was hesitant about the Bleu de Prusse color because I prefer classic/neutral colors like Bleu Nuit, Noir, Etain, etc. However, it’s the perfect pop of color for a “fun size” Birkin 25. Personally, I would describe it as a light navy blue. It’s a color that changes with light. The gold hardware affects how the color is perceived. The images on Hermes.com are not the most accurate representation of the color. I would say Bleu de Prusse is a “neutral” in the blue color family.

One of the images shows Bleu de Prusse next to other blue colors like New Blue Jean, Bleu Nuit, and Noir.
