Hi everyone,

I know this topic often came out in this forum. Im going to buy next week and have my sister pick up at the botique.

I already have Black GST in GHW caviar , Black WOC SHW Lambskin, Black Cerf Tote in GHW and 2 seasonal flaps.

I'm so concern of the weight of Jumbo over the shoulder as I tend to overstuff bigger bag with all possibilities [emoji51]..

The Medium is perfect for wedding or an evening out (size) Although the size will limit what i can bring with me..

Please help me choose. I plan to pass this bag to my daugther as this is considered as a 3rd push present from me to me.

TIA xx
 
Think you just have to decide for yourself which one you'll get more use out of tbh.

The M/L size just doesn't work for me personally. It's cute, but too small for everyday use and too expensive to use it exclusively for special occasions or as an evening bag in comparison to the mini.

I don't find the jumbo too heavy, but I'm used to lugging around half my household.

I have both & prefer my jumbo. The m/l is small for my dailies. I make it work, but for a while it sat unused. (Literally can't carry a wallet-- and mine is tiny. I just have a cles for coins & use all the pockets).

But you have a nice mix of bags. GST & cerft tote for dailies as well as a woc for crossbody & formal. I would say that usage-wise the m/l is just slightly bigger than the mini (but you pay a ton more & can't use it cross body). The jumbo is bigger, but it's not huge. (Similar to PST not GST).

So test out the bags & see what happens :)
They're all great bags. Just see what you prefer. There's no wrong answer.
Good luck!
 
I have the black medium in SHW and the Jumbo in GHW. I have the opportunity to sell the medium for a good price.. I use the medium flap A LOT but I was never overwhelmed by the black caviar on this bag. That being said I have enjoyed carrying it... Should I sell? I could use the cash towards a medium flap in a brighter colour I thought.. Will I regret selling the black medium flap for a colored classic? I have to decide soon ...

If you enjoy using it and use it often, wait to sell. You never know. Prices keep going up and you may get more for your bag down the road, if it's in similar condition. And you may end up affording a new colorful one later anyway! If there isn't a bag you're dying for now to replace the black one, don't accept an offer. Even if it seems good.
