get a jumbo first n then get a medium later i got the medium first and i regretted not getting the jumbo so much so i ended up getting the jumbo too the jumbo is a lot more functional you can wear it as a crossbody bag too. good for casual or dressy look
 
I am 5'9" and not thin either and I'm debating between the m/l and the jumbo. Have until tomorrow at 1pm to make my decision! I agree, it looked normal on me but when I see it on others here who are either shorter or thinner it looks huge on them.

Can I ask what made you chose the jumbo over the m/l? I loved the size of the m/l (I was there returning the mini, which was way too small) but I'm a sucker for a cross body bag and the jumbo didn't look as huge as I thought it would.

I vote for the jumbo! I was very sure of getting the m/l but when I tried on the jumbo in the boutique, I felt it looked so much better. I'm 5'5" and weigh about 153kg. The m/l looked slightly small on me. While the jumbo is heavier, I think it has the "wow" factor. However, I would like to get the m/l one day :) So I think it doesn't really matter which one you get now 'cos you'll get one or the other down the road ;)
 
If you are going to buy it in red I would get it in medium but if you're going to buy it black get the jumbo because I think red might be a bit much in jumbo whereas black is more understated and allows you to get away with a larger sized bag without having it overwhelm your look. I'm not a huge lover of white bags, I usually like another color thrown in with it to balance it a bit more. Personally I love the medium in red! :smile1:
 
I wanted to get a white classic Flap in either sliver or gold hardware for my next purchase. Currently I have jumbo beige lambskin in SHW and 227 distress skin in GHW. So now should I go for jumbo again or medium? I like the roomy of the 2 bags I had.
 
I like the white in the jumbo better than in the m/l, the color gets showcase so much nicer. About the hardware, most people like the gold, I personally like the silver better, it's sooooo much easier for me to pair up my outfits. If you like the roominess of the jumbo than you might not like the amount of space you will get with the m/l, still fits your daily essentials by all means. But since you already have 2 large flaps, it'll be a nice change to get something in a different size. I love love the black caviar flap in m/l :) HTH.

I agree :tup:
 
I would go for jumbo since m/l is not really a practical size IMO. Its nice as a night bag but I prefer timeless clutch or modern clutch for night outing
I like the white jumbo in GHW:)
Good luck deciding!
