Hermès Birkin vs. Kelly: How to Choose the Correct Purse Pillow Size

Birkin and Kelly bags are separate designs with different proportions, and Fabrinique treats each supported model size as a separate fit. You do not need to calculate a custom stuffing density or deliberately oversize the insert.

Identify the model and size first

Start by confirming whether your bag is a Birkin or Kelly and its nominal size. Fabrinique currently offers exact-fit Purse Pillows for Birkin 25, 30 and 35 and Kelly 25, 28 and 32.

Birkin options

• Birkin 25 Purse Pillow
• Birkin 30 Purse Pillow
• Birkin 35 Purse Pillow

Kelly options

• Kelly 25 Purse Pillow
• Kelly 28 Purse Pillow
• Kelly 32 Purse Pillow

Why the exact model matters

A pillow intended for one model or size should not be assumed to fit another simply because the bags appear similar. Interior proportions and construction differ, and the objective is gentle support rather than the tightest possible fit.

Should you measure the bag?

If you know the model and size and it appears in Fabrinique's exact-fit catalog, select that corresponding product. If you are unsure which bag you own, use a soft measuring tape as an identification aid and compare your measurements with reliable model information. Do not force a pillow into a bag because the measurements seem close.

Storage use

Empty the bag, make sure it is dry, place the correctly sized pillow inside gently, and store according to the manufacturer's care guidance. Fabrinique Purse Pillows are intended for storage support and should normally be removed when the bag is carried.
