GUIDE OF HERMES’ BIRKIN BAG SIZES

We have put together a simple chart of the sizes available for Birkin bags.

 

 

 

Most Popular Sizes

 

The Birkin is basically a tote bag. It is a bag that is meant to be carried by hand and not on the shoulders.

In the past the Birkin was widely used as a utility bag and popular for its ability to carry lots of things in it. As a utility tote bag the the 35 cm version was the most popular but fashion tendencies have changed and bigger bags are less common and they are used more for travel than for daily use.

 

Today the most popular and most expensive versions of the bag are the 30 cm and the 25 cm. The 30 cm is seen by many women as a great bag for daily use due to its convenient size (it is nice as a fashion accessory while still being able to carry a lot of things in it). The 25 cm is seen as a great bag for night outings and lighter use because it is small and cannot carry as much.

 

35 cm, 40 cm and the wide and short 42 cm versions are more commonly used for travel.

 

There are 3 other versions that are the renewal versions of the classic “Haut a Courroies”, those come in 32 cm, 45 cm and 50 cm. Those bags are used mostly as luxury luggage or by men. They are tall bags with short handles and that makes them awkward as fashion accessories but they are a very classy and practical type of luggage or business briefcase.
