I am having a big headache over what to get.
This would be my first Horsebit Chain Hobo, and should I go medium or large? I have decided to go for the leather ones, but now could not decide on the size.

I love the way the large one slouch, and the leather looks so soft and buttery, yet my worry is it would be too big for me. (i'm 5'3) I do not want to look like santa with his sack of pressie.

The medium one looks good in size, and it holds it's shape well? (which is not good because I like slouchy). I am also worry over the handle. Anyone knows what is the drop of the medium vs large?

Any good advices and recommendations? Thanks

Medium. I have the large one and I'm 5'6 ... it's quite a sack to haul around.

i think the large one is too big for you, i say go with the medium

bkp0 · May 28th, 2009, 01:45 PM

I have the medium and I'm about your height. I say medium. The large is too big IMO.

i also have the medium and i can say that size is just perfect for me . im not sure about the drop handles measurement though . but i have been hearing a lot about the large being really huge . but if you are a big fan of huge bags , its upto you. but my recommendation is just the medium since i have it..

good luck ! dont forget the modeling pics

MaliaNia · May 28th, 2009, 02:21 PM

medium!

I just bought the large and I am 5'4 and I love everything about it. For me the medium is too small (to much like my other bags).

I prefer the large also. The medium seems too "pursey" and the large is slouchy/hobo syle. It makes a statement.

I have the large size and to me it's not that big. You will look nice in either one.

I prefer large handbags so I would go for the large one.

muchiko19 · Jun 3rd, 2009, 11:35 PM

medium for me! the large is way too large IMO.

yenanh00 · Jun 3rd, 2009, 11:47 PM

I have the medium one.. I found it a lil bit too small for me.. I"m 5 ft btw.. I will definitely planning on getting the large one.. Really depend on how much you carry in your bag though.. I usually carry a lot wallet, agenda, phone, make up bag, and ect. Leather does hold it shape well.

I have the medium and I think it's the perfect everydaybag, the large one is really big. The medium holds it shapes well, I think the large one is more slouchy.

here's a pic (I'm 5'7 btw)
