The three most popular Birkin sizes are 35, 30 and 25, shown on a 5 foot 2 model and a 5 foot 10 model. If you are 5 foot 4 or shorter, follow the 5 foot 2 photos; at 5 foot 7 or taller, base your choice on the 5 foot 10 model.
Which Birkin sizes does the comparison cover?
The guide covers the three most popular sizes: the Birkin 35, the Birkin 30 and the Birkin 25. Each is photographed on two models so you can judge scale before committing to a size, which keeps the choice focused on the three sizes that come up most.
How do you choose a Birkin size by height?
The recommendation depends on where you land against the two models. If you are 5 foot 4 or shorter, use the 5 foot 2 model as your reference. If you are 5 foot 7 or taller, base the size off the 5 foot 10 model. Between the two references, most first-time buyers find their answer in the photos, which show how each of the three sizes sits against the body.
What if you are still deciding?
If you fall between the two reference heights, or the choice still feels close, reach out to the Luxe Du Jour team. They are happy to help you find the perfect Birkin and talk through the sizes in person or online.
