What's your Goldilocks Hermes bag?

I was more like Cinderella, and always knew I'd want to go to the ball wearing a K32 Sellier.

Luckily, after the coach turned into a pumpkin, the horses into white mice and my glass slipper fell off, my Kelly remained a 32 Sellier
:hbeat: Yes, K32 Sellier is stunning!!! Please post a pic of your bag!!! I'd love to see it!
 
Kelly 28/ B30 has always been the right size for me. I wear my 25KBs less. I prefer sellier Ks, so with the exception of only one BBK28, my other kelly bags are sellier.

But, these days, everything feels heavy, so my Goldilocks bag is DHs Sac a Depeches 21. A high crossbody

ETA: I put very little in my bags, so as not to add more weight :smile: I do have one 32K and one 35B, but rarely use them
I prefer to carry them by their top handle but I do occasionally wear them crossbody.

I have to say the B30 comes in at a verrrrry close 2nd on my list.
It is definitely the optimal size in Birkin for all of the reasons you stated, hands down.
The only exception in my collection is my Clemence B30. Sadly, she is just too heavy... I always pick another bag to carry.
But she will stay with me forever because she is a SO and I don't have the heart to sell her.
Maybe I need to go lift some weights :gotmuscles: hahahha
I started to be more serious about weightlifting for health reasons recently and yes! Really does help! :nuts:

I do get what you’re saying about the Kelly. I love love love my B30s. The other day I took my K32 out and just looked at it. I wonder if anyone has studied the proportions of the Kelly because just looking at it makes me think “perfection”. It is also a very useable bag with multiple ways to be carried while still looking gorgeous and chic.

As for my Goldilocks back I still am searching. I love each of my h bags and in their own way. Right now it might be a B30 but your posts have me thinking about a K28 sellier!
 
RIGHT!!!! You are spot on!!!! I always thought I was a Birkin girl. I loooooove the Birkin. I will always love the Birkin too but my goodness I am just enamored with the Sellier Kelly!!! I have been wearing them nonstop and I have NO COMPLAINTS.
So are you a Sellier or Retourne Kelly girl and what size is your Goldilocks size?
Since I’m petite, K25 seems to be perfect and proportionate for me. Up until recently I was confident it’s seller, but I got a retourné and I’m also loving the more casual vibe. If I had to pick one then it will still be sellier.
 
Hmmm, tough choice. I love the functionality of B30, but B25 also carries my essentials and I feel it looks more proportionate on me since I'm petite. I love the look of K25 sellier, but sometimes find it hard to fit all of my dailies and I usually have to pair down the contents of my cosmetic bag when I carry this size. I love the K28 both seller and retourne but find the K28 retourne the most functional and easy to use, easy to carry. I don't have a K25 retourne yet. The 35's both B and K were too big for me and I've since rehomed them.

So, having said all of that, I guess my goldilocks bag is the K28 retourne. The B25 is a very close second. I may have a change of heart though if I get a K25 retourne at some point.
