Thoughts on a Birkin 20 if introduced by Hermes

[Hobbiezm]

Hi lovely TF members ; I just posted on another thread about the popularity of the Birkin 25 and how it’s now a staple in many people’s wardrobe.

I am curious - would anyone be interested if Hermes introduced a Birkin 20? After all - it’s sister bag the Kelly has had it for a while and they do have close comparisons in size.

I would love it - the compact size but functionality of getting in/out would make it a lovely evening bag or running errands.

The Faubourg series of Birkins are size 20 (though technically sellier style, I suppose) so it’s definitely possible.

Intriguing. It would definitely be hand-carry only. I think its functionality would be similar to a Kelly pochette.

Hard to get in and out of , too small for my shape ... if made super hard to get , Will I buy it ? YES ! I saw the b20 Faubourg in real life, it was so cuuuuutttttteeee . So 1 is enough for me .

I saw the bag IRL too. It’s a good size for me, I wouldn’t mind a normal, plain version.

This bag is very cute, but if not even an entire hand fits through the handles but only 3 Fingers it is for decoration only.

I think it'd be too small for me. Even the 25 is already too small haha.

I vote tbd. However, knowing myself I know I wouldn’t hate it but I also wouldn’t be head over heels about it (my favorite is still the 35 for a birkin) But I’m sure I’d love to have one just because. Though, it’s a no go for me if it’s in sellier because I just can’t with a sellier birkin of any size much less a 20cm. Love love sellier on any Kelly though! Good thread, I’d love to see what others think too!

I like the idea of it but the reality would drive me insane! Too small to fit the majority of things I need to carry (my phone included I suspect) and no shoulder strap or even wrist carry would mean a beautiful but expensive ornament to gaze at. Money no object.. maybe?

My vote was TBD. I am 5’7”, it will probably looks like a toy on me due to handheld style In my opinion, it’s not a practical everyday bag for beginner or someone who just want one or two Birkin bags in rotation, however it could be a “must have“ for people who loves a wider range of collection of Hermes bags.

I would definitely be on board with a 20, as you can see from my profile picture. Actually fits more than the mini Kelly.

I’m micro bag obsessed and more a B person, so absolutely yes. I’ve been dreaming of one since I saw the Faubourg B20.

I'd have to see it up close & personal to make a decision
I might feel differently with an overall design as it has a unexpected look to it than a one color

For now it would be a no for me. The only thing that would change my mind is if they include a detachable strap so I could wear it crossbody or on the shoulder. If it is just the bag itself, I would find myself fumbling over the contents and have things fall out.

As mentioned by others size 20 already exists in the sellier limited edition Faubourg. Also don’t forget a even smaller size, mini Birkin 15, existed too during the JPG era approx 10 years ago, and that one comes with a strap (which means that between those two designs I would actually find the 15 easier to use, but the issue for that one is that it probably won’t fit a smartphone, not even the smaller phone models nowadays). But hey, with how they keep bringing back limited JPG designs (often in smaller sizes too) I totally won’t be shocked if they are thinking about that one.
