I know I'm late to the game but thought I'd reply anyway. I had the same question last weekend, so I changed out of my PJs into my sweats, threw my Saint Laurent Loulou over my shoulder (trying to look somewhat respectable), and went to the Celine store at South Coast Plaza. I could tell the security guard wasn't sure whether he should let me in, but the store was empty ("because Covid," apparently), so he reluctantly opened the door. All of the employees, of course, were dressed to the nines, and I looked like I had just rolled out of bed. (I had.) However, the saleswoman who was assigned to follow me around the store couldn't have been nicer! I told her I was there to compare the small Cabas Phantom Tote to the medium, so she asked me what color and brought both sizes out for comparison. My first reaction was that the small was too small overall—but the medium was definitely too tall. If the medium had the same proportions as the small, I would have chosen the medium (because I love a very large tote), but it was only taller (by two inches), not wider or deeper. So it was more of a vertical bag, and I prefer a horizontal bag. The leather is buttery soft; the bag is super lightweight, and the suede inside is gorgeous. I love the understated elegance of the bag. I chose the small and couldn't be happier with it! I was in and out of the store in less than 15 minutes. This is my first Celine, and I'm sure it won't be my last. I'm already thinking about the same bag in Taupe.
