I need opinions… I have a GM but I never really use it since it’s so huge, so I was thinking of downgrading to MM. the only reason I would think to keep the GM is for a baby bag. I bought this a few years ago, the new bags have gotten so expensive so I’m not sure if it makes sense to replace mine with a MM. I’m normally a crossbody girl, but I just like the look of the neverfull.
Downgrading from GM?

I have both and use the mm more. The gm is great if you cinch the sides in. It really depends on your lifestyle. Yes, the prices of all the NFs went up. You could always sell the gm and get the mm if that's the size that you want.
Here's a blogger who discussed the MM/GM size debate in detail (she, like you, had intentions of using her GM as a baby bag.) Curls & Cashmere | LOUIS VUITTON NEVERFULL TOTE SIZE–GM VS. MM COMPARISON
Here is another blogger who does the MM/GM comparision, but uses her GM for work and travel. Top Knots and Pearls | MM vs GM Review
Hopefully this helps your decision-making process!

I have the MM and wish I would have gotten the GM. The MM seems so tiny….
I have both and use the GM more for travel & when I’m out and about with my toddler. I suspect the MM will be back in rotation when I don’t have to haul so much stuff for my daughter.
Do you fill the MM up? In all the years I’ve had my GM I haven’t filled it
no, but it looks like a basket with anything in it and just feels small to me. I like big bags.
Thanks for this question! I have the same question and hence joined the purse forum. I bought a GM thinking that I’ll use it as a baby bag and for travel but never actually got to use it due to Covid. So I thought of selling it now that the price has gone up. I thought this way I can get back almost every penny I paid and then maybe buy another bag. But I also want to keep it because I fear I’ll never be able to replace it, because of its price and it’s not in stock most of time.
I agree. Get the MM size for everyday styling. I only use the G.M. sized for travel. IMO it's too big for day to day wear.
GM is too big for me as well, but is probably great for people who carry a lot on the daily or have little kids.
The gm is big but it is the bag to use if you have a ton of stuff to schlep or if you're traveling. I just used my gm this past week when I flew and I was amazed at the amount it holds. This bag is cavernous! I did buy handle covers so the straps didn't dig into my shoulders even though the bag was heavy. As others have said, you can always cinch it if you're not carrying a lot. The mm feels more like a purse than the gm.
Weird, how come I don't feel GM is that BIG big? I felt it's just one size up to MM, you can't go wrong with Neverfull (other than PM, no offense to PM owners). Girls we all need at least 1 MM & 1 GM!
I'm 4'11" with a petite build. The PM is a great size for a purse for me. The MM looks pretty large on me and I can only use it as a tote. So it seems there is a size for everyone!Weird, how come I don't feel GM is that BIG big?
