ive been so curious. I was measuring my old 30cm birkin and kept measuring it at 28.75cm- 29cm. its short 1cm! do you measure it across (diagonally) the bag like a computer screen?

that really baffled me there. :confused1:
 
thanks grandFonds.. so that means they don't really make the bag measurements to a tee?
so in effect a 35cm could actually be measured at 34.5cm? how odd!
 
Hi! I've also noticed my current 40cm B looks a tad smaller than my previous 40cm B. I was worried at first since I had bought it from a re-seller but I think B bags being handmade there's bound to be some minor irregularities.
