I don't always go on this forum but here's what I have in my med GV3 (wallet, little makeup bag, reusable bag, mini powerbank in the pouch) 
I still have a bit of space in the main compartment for small things.
The lock closure is the only way the bag stays put...I've accidentally flipped the lock and there's the odd time the bag opens if I've put too much stuff in it.

I haven't had any problems with the lock. When it is flipped down, it is securely closed. Yet it is not hard to flip it up and open it (it's both good and bad).
As an adjustable strap you can basically buy anything you like from any brand

Hi do you have a mod shot?
Do you normally carry your bag crossbody or with the chain strap?
Do you think the size is too long horizontally?
I was looking on farfetch and came across the small size of this bag in quilted goat black. It seems like a perfect every day bag that would also double as an evening bag thanks to the chain strap. I was looking for the YSL sulpice double flap chain wallet (which is actually much larger than a wallet) when I came across this bag and now I am torn. LOL I want to be able to wear single shoulder and the strap length thing now scares me as I am only 5’2” at least chain wallets have some room to adjust the chain in different ways. But this bag looks gorgeous and regal to me. Especially the quilted version. Did someone say there are different strap lengths you can buy for it?
Also if anyone is interested this is on sale on farfetch for a great price right now and given that spring / summer are around the corner is the perfect colour! The price is in Canadian and includes all import fees!

Sorry no mod shots, haven't really had time to take pics!
Now that it's winter I use it crossbody because the straps keep slipping off my winter jacket. I'm around 5'1 and I find the length of the leather strap just right.
The longer leather strap is removable if you find it too long.....the chain strap is just right for me, I'm shorter than you...the bag is just below my underarms if I use the chain but I have the med so can't say for the small. Have you gone to a store to see the GV3 irl? I know my Saks/Holt Renfrew in Toronto carry at least the med and small sizes.
Just don't overstuff the bag, I saw a GV3 at an online consignment shop here and it's lost it's shape (dents on the back side)! No it is not bulky either.
My only issue was I sort of overstuffed the bag and the lining has cracked where the curve of the flap is.
This thread shows how to find the serial number on a GV3, it is definitely well hidden:
