Does anyone own both a first and a small city who can post size comparison photos or can speak to the difference in what they hold? Can’t find any comparisons on the site or online - usually I find the first with classic City comparisons or the city/small/mini comparisons.

For reference: I own a classic size city and a mini city. I’m looking for a size right in the middle still with the same style shape, depth, and shoulder strap. I decided on a small city which has been hard to find something I love. Now I’m seeing firsts and debating them though the depth is more shallow. Decided against a town. Was looking at some Gucci and LV bags and keep coming back to Bbags all these years haha

Hi there, I had a small city, but ended up selling it. I loved the size though, it's about the same as a first but slightly wider in depth. They fit about the same amount. Here are a couple of mod shots. I'm very short though only 4 feet 11.

This is the violet prune small city and 2003 emerald first, I bought a strap from Mautto on Etsy so I can wear it crossbody.

This was exactly what I needed! Thank you so much! You confirmed what I thought about the small city having a bit more depth. They both look fantastic on you! I’m 5’0, so your post was even more helpful for that reason as well :-)

Gorgeous and yes very helpful! After seeing how perfect the size is, there’s really no harm in buying one of each at this point, haha!

I, along with many others in this forum, would agree! It's like Pokemon, you gotta catch 'em all!

The Town is still my favorite size, as it's slightly roomier than the First/City S, but they're all lovely and seem to have all been offered at mostly different times (small overlaps), so I suppose it also comes down to your color and leather preference.
