I just got my first Birkin 30 in Vert Fonce and can’t wait to see how this beautiful shade moves and changes along with the lighting on a day out! Pardon the very UNglamorous photo I took with it in my hotel bathroom as that’s the only place where there’s a full length mirror! 😆

Initially, I wanted a classic black in 35, but when I previously saw this color in Seoul on display (the SA do not even allow my request to remove it from display to see it up close), i was so intrigued by how the color changes as you view it from different angles with the light, AND! The boutique I went to only has a 30, which I can just buy on the spot (with spending thrown in as well, though, but still, it’s a birkin on the spot! So I just jumped on the opportunity).

However, I am unsure if the size 30 is a bit too small on my frame, but I have a feeling that the 35 would be a bit too big for every day use!!

Oh, and I also saw the Maxi Kelly in the boutique and tried it on. Was actually almost buying this before the SA said that there is a Birkin! It looks OK on my frame, but it is so heavy and a bit too big in real life in my opinion.

30 Proportions look great. Especially when opened up I think it would be plenty for everyday.

The K40 looks like luggage/travel bag to me due to the width.

B35 could also work but they are pretty heavy and do you really need all that space?

Great colour! Wear in good health.

I think the bag is too thin. If you put anything in it, it bulges the leather outward, but in a lumpy way. Contents also stretch out the bag.

Here is a photo of a pre-owned one from a pre-owned retailer website: https://luxlexicon.com/products/ult...dware-cl2404-flo-00098?variant=42077719167065

Agree with @averagejoe

@ArdennesLover , have you tried the sac a depeches 21? It’s my DH’s favorite bag. A high crossbody that sits comfortably and doesn’t move and also has ample room. There is an outside back pocket. Front and side view pic

@blatantboy , I think you could carry off either a B30 or B35. The B30 you bought is gorgeous. I agree with @J.T. that when the bag is opened up, it will be perfect. Congrats!

Hello, size is perfect to me once you will open it. Closed I don’t really like the Birkin. The colour seems gorgeous aswell. À B35 could have worked too… but i don’t like the weight of it… and I agrée the maxi is gorgeous but toi heavy to wear eadily for many hours.

I do believe people underestilate weight to easily when trying it on. I know I walk a lot and weight is a true important factor for me.
