Classic flap small vs. Medium

I have the medium and the mini rectangular. The medium fits just a bit more than the mini. Don’t have the small, but I’m guessing it’ll be similar in capacity to the mini. I’d say get the medium. I like shw more than ghw, but it’s my personal preference.

Thank you! Is it worth it to get the medium? Is it really the same as the mini?

I wanted a true classic flap bag... not needed it, just want to have it in my collection :) Jumbo is too big and heavy for me, medium is good proportion. I had the rectangular mini first, fits all that i need very well, and is cross body, loved it.

Worth it or not is dependent on what you’re aiming for. If you want a bigger bag to hold much more... probably not ideal...Look at the reissue.
If you want a different size bag, hold a lil more, then the medium is good. Big difference in price though; but it’s a classic.
Good luck deciding!

Thank you for your opinion. SHW or GHW? Should I get gold for a change? Just concerned that it might be too dressy....

That’s very subjective and depends who you ask :) I love ghw and I have the classic flap caviar with ghw in both the medium and jumbo and they serve me totally diff purposes, I also have a mini with shw but I would’ve taken gold had it been offered to me at the time. All in black too lol

True—really both are wonderful. Can’t go wrong with either one. I wish they would do a light gold hardware—like they sometimes do with seasonal bags. But I guess then it wouldn’t be a classic!

Thank you! All your input really is helping me so much! I’m leaning toward silver—I guess I must like it because my Mini and WOC are silver hardware. I guess I was thinking gold for something different.

Yes—guess I’m thinking the same thing. Want a true classic! Thank you for your help!
 
I was in the same dilemma last year: small or medium CF. I went for the medium size with GHW as that’s the classic size and most popular size too. I find GHW and black look so much better than SHW. Not a fan of SHW as in my opinion it makes the bag look cheap. Just my personal 2 cents. :smile:

Medium caviar with SHW. I would say the small looks like mini. Small and medium look similar though but medium is the real classic to me.

Black lambskin goes better with GHW. So if your black is in caviar then definitely go with silver!
