I am so excited because this is my first Birkin! Didn’t expect that I’ll gonna have that soon because my husband just gave me a Kelly and I bought a Garden Party.. We went to Japan with my family and just tried my luck and walk in and ask for a Birkin, to make the story short I came home with no Birkin [emoji51] Then my husband and I decided to go back to Japan and celebrate our 10th anniversary, on our first day and nothing to do, cause we talked about it that it’ll be just a relaxing trip and we’re very tired with the last trip bring all 4 kids (but this time just the youngest because I am still breastfeeding him), we stopped by the Marunouchi store and asked for a Kelly strap which they don’t have and a Lindy Noir in phw in display but no ghw available and asked if they have a Birkin. Still “No stock, sorry”.. Oh well then I said to myself really I will not have one even with this trip. Its ok [emoji849] then we just stroll around Tokyo and pass by Ginza store, then my husband said are you going inside so I said ok, let’s look.. and then a SA guy is available and asked him if they have the Kelly strap in phw then longest one, and he asked for the stock.. while waiting I asked him if they have Birkin available? He said sorry no stock.. I said to myself of I’ll just go for the Kelly strap. And then the SA guy came out with a big box! So nervous! Like I want to cry? Cause I can feel that its a Birkin! (Assuming here ) So he showed me a Birkin35 in Noir and in ghw that I wanted because my Kelly is in phw. Actually, I want a B30 but my husband said its not that big, I am 5’6” so it’ll look good on me still. Sorry my story is so long already. I am still worrying if its too big for me, but got it still, can’t say no coz its a classic! [emoji1305]Let me know what you think if its too big for a 5’6”?

I’m 5’6 and own 3 B35s. They are my absolute favorite of all bags I own. I also have one B30, so definitely room to add one to your collection next time! Congrats !

God no. The 35 is the classic. As a bag, it has the best proportions and it is a tote, big by definition. I’m taller than you but will only buy 35s. I understand very petite women being overwhelmed if it’s used as a purse so I get the rise of the 30s. (I still don’t understand 25s but I know they are hugely sought after and I’m not criticizing at all. I just need to carry stuff.). But most European women, even petites, still want the 35s. So some of the size preference is cultural preference and what looks “normal” to you. At 5’6” even if you’re rail thin, it will look great on you.

:congrats: it’s truly meant to be! I am 5’8 and 35 is my favorite size too. I think a bright color bag would appear to be bigger than a dark color bag. If you bought a lime in 35 I would say it probably look too big on you. But black certainly doesn’t look too big. :yes: enjoy it!!!

Congrats! Keep the name card of the SA in Ginza. It's always hardest to get from them the first time. After that it gets easier with the same SA. I've been lucky also with Ginza and after my first one last year, they always offer to me a B or K every 6 months. I've gotten 4 already from them

I don't think it's too big at all! Noir with GHW is such a beautiful classic bag, and as a B35, it's perfect as workhorse and/or travel - it's bonus that it's black color so you don't need to worry so much about getting it dirty. It's so chic! May I ask if its in Togo leather? I cant really tell from your pic :smile:

Hi, there! Yes it is in togo leather =) here in our country the most popular size is B30, maybe because Asians are not that tall [emoji51]

Wow just a relief hearing it! Yeah... maybe its because of just the popularity of the B30 size here in our countrys bothering me that’s making me conscious about it but for me its just right. And I read a lot of reviews that B35 is really the classic size if I’m not mistaken [emoji51] thank you [emoji8]

This is a beautiful size and a classic combination. I am 5'3 and have a 35 which I use for traveling, work sometimes, out and about sometimes. I also have a 30 and a 25 so I think that all sizes have a place. As long as you are comfortable with it it will work - enjoy this and from the amazing Ginza store makes it special!

Yes I think everything have a place, that’s why I have to aim for B30 and smaller sizes next actually in Chanel mini flaps, I don’t care wearing it even its really small, so I guess its the same thing with bigger bags, its just how you carry it [emoji6] thanks! [emoji8]

Wow good to hear that! So you live in Japan? How do you do it, do you have to look for the same SA when you get there? That’s why my SA said I can call first when I want to come back? Wow, 4?! Hope I can have that too! [emoji8]
