The Birkin 25 is the smallest member of the Birkin family. Its petite dimensions make it a perfect companion for an evening out or when you desire a bag that is light and easy to carry.

This Birkin's straps will not fit all the way up to the crook of your arm, you will have to carry it in your hand or perch it on your wrist.

For those who believe in the mantra "bigger is better," the Birkin 40 is the largest size in the Birkin lineup besides the HAC. This grand and spacious bag is perfect for extended trips or anyone who appreciates the allure of an oversized handbag. Despite its size, the Birkin 40 exudes the same sophistication as its smaller counterparts.

These are my tips for choosing the right size for you:

This all depends on you, for some this might mean wanting to stretch the most wear out of your Birkin, and to others they may only want to have it for special occasions or match their personal style more than they care about versatility.

Consider Your Lifestyle: If you're constantly on the move, a larger size might be more practical. This would also fit nicely if you're on the go and love making a statement a larger size could be the way to go.

Versatility Matters: If you want a Birkin that seamlessly transitions from day to night, weekday to weekend, a medium size like the Birkin 35 might be your best bet.

Personal Style: Your personal style and fashion preferences should guide your choice. Whether you're drawn to the compact charm of the Birkin 25 or the spacious grandeur of the Birkin 40, choose a size that resonates with your taste.

In conclusion, the Hermès Birkin comes in a variety of sizes, each catering to different needs and preferences. Whichever size you choose, the Birkin is a timeless investment that endures through the ages. So, which Birkin size speaks to you?
