Best First Hermès Birkin to Buy

Buyer Questions
Should my first Birkin be 25, 30, or 35?
Birkin 30 is the safest all-around first size. Birkin 25 is more compact and often pricier; Birkin 35 is roomier and can be better value.
What leather is best for a first Birkin?
Togo is often the best first choice because it is durable, grained, and broadly preferred.
What color Birkin should I buy first?
Black, Gold, Etoupe, and Etain are the most practical first-Birkin colors for many buyers.
