First Birkin

Mine was a 35cm Black Togo with GHW. Still my favourite bag! I don’t think you can go wrong with a neutral as a first.. Black, Etoupe, gold etc! Or maybe your favourite colour. Mine would be red… I just acquired a new 30cm Rose Jaipur so that could classify as my red :P

my first birkin was from my mom and it’s a B35 etoupe!

An étoupe B30, I still love her :)

My first Birkin was a 35cm in Capucine togo leather with GHW…. Love this bag so much, it’s such a rich saturated color, and perfect with GHW. Although I will never buy another B35 again (too big and heavy for me), I will also never part with this bag because it is very special with amazing memories, and I do think there is a need for at least ONE B35 in one’s bag collection. It is perfect for travel and whenever I need to lug a lot of things around (it does get heavy though)! Also interesting to note that this is probably my most complimented bag (by both people who know AND don’t know anything about Hermes – I think primarily because of the color).

Pic below is on the first day I took her home, I couldn’t wait to dress her up with twillys (bought on the same day!) and my hippo bag charm (one of my first Hermes purchases, along with 2 gator CDCs). It took me about an hour to tie these twillys back then :D It takes me a few minutes now.
