Thanks for the replies so far ladies. On a fluke the small was actually available when I called.

I have seen some comparison with the sizing, but I'm wondering if anyone can post modeling pics with both sizes. I am curious to see what the differences would look like, especially when worn cross-body.


Needless to say, I am too excited right now to focus.:p
 
I'm on the verge of purchasing a small black caviar w/SHW and just want to make sure this will be okay for my height. Should I go ahead with it or go for the medium? This is my first classic!!

I'm the same height and have the medium but I'm actually looking to get a jumbo! Don't get me wrong I ADORE my medium I just want to be able to carry more items. I guess my point is don't get the small.


I'm also the same height but opted for a jumbo as the m/l was just too small for me to use as an every day bag. I had also ordered a maxi but that seemed too big for me. In hindsight, I should have kept the maxi as well, given the price increases these past two years :push:

The strap on the M/L is too short to wear cross body and I'm assuming that the small is the same. So, I would suggest that you go for a jumbo if you would like to wear it cross body. However, between the M/L and the small, I would definitely get the M/L because visually there is very little difference but you can fit more stuff in the M/L.

The jumbo when worn crossbody is ridiculously heavy, at least for me personally. If you're looking for a crossbody bag then I say get the mini. If you're looking for a shoulder bag, I say get the m/l.
 
I prefer the small one :smile1: It looked cuter on me than the M/L when I tried them on... I think M/L makes a little more mature look and the small one is great for girly skirts, bright dresses etc., especially if you carry it on your wrist. :love: I don't really like that M/L looks a bit 'longer', as I really hate east-west purses:)

Nevertheless, I'd like to see some modelling pictures for both sizes as well :yes: At the moment I'm thinking of getting the small flap but I can still change my mind, they are both nice :D



Btw, can you guys tell from the picture which size this is, I'm not sure :confused1::

Here is Audrina Patridge with the S/M (9") Flap. I believe she is around 5'7" :smile1: but hopefully you can get an idea of how it looks like on!

I think either sizes would be just fine.. The S/M I think would look just perfect for your height, especially when carried single strap, however if you need whatever space you can have, since neither are spacious bags, then M/L will fit slightly more.

Both S/M and M/L are not designed for carrying cross body really.. either Jumbo, Mini or a WOC would be better for wearing messenger style.

The pink flap in the picture is M/L size. The picture was taken from an angle so I understand it is a little hard to differentiate, however if you looks closely it is actually easy to tell by counting the number of quilts across (if that makes sense ;))
