What is the best color for a that first birkin?

[Bornsocialite26]

Hi everyone this would be my first thread here, and I guess Im on the safest place to gather opinions and suggestion about choosing a smart color for that first birkin.
Im 27 year old mommy who dresses casually on a regular basis, I have too many black bags going on namely
black jumbo caviar chanel flap
a mini flap in caviar
a balenciaga work and city both in black
a mahina L in noir... just to name a few.. although a black birkin in 30 would be great, Im decided that my first birkin would be a nice classic timeless color here are my picks all in 30 cm
Bleu de Prusse
Gold
Etoupe
honestly Im torn between bleu de prusse and gold... help?

Gold!

Well, BdP is a pretty dark blue, so if it's between that and gold, I'd go with gold, just for a little variety. Personally though, I prefer etoupe to gold!

Nice to see you here Bornsocialite!!

For a 1st Birkin... I'd go for a Classic neutral like Gold!! It's gorgeous! The colour would carry you through everyday!

Thankie for the suggestion!

My first birkin was etoupe. It is surprisingly versatile. Good luck on the hunt. It will be a slippery slope from here.

neutral and classic - gold

Etoupe or Gold

When I will be able to get a birkin (and i say when, not if, lol), it will be gold. It is stunning, and so versatile i could wear it with everything.. a great choice.... good luck on your desition!

^^^sorry but OT, I love your sig MOWCAM....

Gold!

I have a gold kelly and love the versatility. It also adds a nice pop of color. I have an etoupe lindy but tend to use the gold more.

for a little enable-ing....

Gold with GHW of course.

I wat to get my first Birkin too and thought black or indigo was a safe colour to go for. Then I saw the etoupe colour on the train to work. A lady was carrying it really well and now I'm thinking about the etoupe as my first.
Decision, decision....
I do plan on it being my only H purchase so need to tread carefully.
I'll continue to stalk the H forum for more ideas!

Lately, I have started to appreciate the beautiful Gold/GH combo. It really is a classic.

Your choice also depends also on your wardrobe. You say you have a lot of black bags - do you wear a lot of black also? If so then it depends whether gold or etoupe looks better. Personally I can't decide what other neutral looks best with black - that's the trouble with Hermes - you're spoilt for choice!

Another option (if you aren't considering a black birkin) is Raisin/GH which is also lovely. There are some great pics in the reference library. Have fun deciding!
