For the basic colors like black or beige go for jumbo flap. I also have both sizes (black jumbo and white medium). Very limited space for the medium. It's like carrying a purse. It's not heavy though.

Overwhelming response, eh. I assume you're referring to the mini compared to the medium flap. Check the reference section or search and see pops up, if anything. I will say tho a huge difference just ast here is between the medium and jumbo flap.

^ I do think she is referring to the small? I tried searching for you but cannot find a pic of the small next to the medium. The small is only 1" shorter it seem, and not very noticeable...

Thanks so much for all of your opinions!

diera23 - I'm not really a fan of the E/W shape. I feel like it's too long.
Mrs. Awesome - I've tried on both the WOC and Mini - and I feel they are really small - I use a blackberry and really after I've put in my phone, I can't put anything else. The WOC are too 'flat' and the mini is just too small.
Anjoool, duckiee - I am mainly needing this for evenings - especially with a dress so really I don't bring much stuff.
scarlet555 - Yes! It does makes the differenct, that's why I am in such a dilemma. I know it's not a big deal, but I just don't want to regret, you know..
fieryfashionist - You've made a good point about propotions. Because that is what I look for in everything, it has to be aesthetically perfect :)
Yikkie - Thanks for the input, knowing we're almost the same height!

I found the solution - I'll probably have come in to the boutique again in a dress, just to see the difference of that 1". Thanks all for your helpp!!

I know I am probably not the first to raise this question, but I really need to make a decision really soon!

I already have a Black Jumbo and a GST for everyday - they are all really big bags (since i'm only 156cm) and now I really need a small bag for evening time, for dressier events. I tried on the Mini and it is way too small and I thought Small was the perfect size, until the SA told me the Medium is exactly the same price!! I have been looking through pas posts, and Medium seems to be everyone's ideal choice. But when I tried them on, it looks kinda big if I were to imagine wearing an evening dress. But then again, it's only 1" difference. So really, I need your opinions!

Don't let SA influence u too much...

Mine case is similar to you i guess
ps: am 160 cm with 47-48 kg.

I tried small and medium and i found that medium makes me look kinda mature and too formal... (but not as formal as what jumbo would do to me lol)

and when i tried small, it looks great on me :) i can wear both evening dress and when i wear jeans I got contrast look and get a cool look yet it's not too formal but not too casual... the proportion of the 9" suit me really well :) and it doesn't make me look to serious too formal or too mature as 10" does to me. ps: I'm 2 months to turn 34 ....

Don't forget the factor of your figure.... yep medium or 10" size could be very popular, but if it doesn't look the best on you...why bother???

ps: i can fit LV coin purse or u can put compact wallet in...in this coin purse it has 4 cc slot and 2 compartments for coins or paper or folded money, Blackberry phone, la mer lip balm, chanel compact powder in my bag and definitely keys chain (in pic i forget to put keys in but i normally have keys in there too) I took this pic especially for u a few mins ago...for this purpose...

I think at this moment, it's not about 200 dollar different when we are talking about buying mid 3000 usd. I wouldn't take 200 dollar into consideration if it is not the best thing for me... Please choose what's right for you :)
