Here's a photo of the two side by side that I took at Harrods! The large is quite large... although not the largest I've seen. Although it's not a bulky bag it might overwhelm a shorter person, it's hard to say!
BTW, I bought it! Got the black medium. I still have some of the wrapping on it in case I don't wear it home (if it doesn't fit in my carry on, then I'll wear it since my LV Odeon is smushier) so will do a photo or two when I get home.
Oops, my fingers did something weird. Anyway I will supply a photo(s) of mine after I get back home.
Thank you! Very helpful. They don’t even have the large online where I am. Really liked the medium I saw but I’m looking for a larger bag.
& congrats on the bag, looking forward to the pictures!
I am home, and the bag is still gorgeous. Unfortunately had to forgo the box, and had to think a little about the best way to get it home, especially since it was going to be wet. Couldn't exactly put it in my checked luggage and it just a little too tall to fit in my Le Pliage, so I put it in my main bag and carried my LV Odeon MM to and from the airport, and switched into the Aphrodite for the plane (the Odeon does fit in the Le Pliage), I put it in the dustbag when I stored it under the seat.
Anyway, lol - photos are still coming, but I tried the extender strap on and good news is that this can definitely be worn as a crossbody with it, I'm 5'2" and tried it on the first (longest) hole and it fell quite low on the hip so most women would be able to wear it that way. Total extender strap length is 30", to the first hole is 26+". The Medium attached strap at the first hole makes for an approximately 21" opening, drop is about 7.75-8 inches (if I am measuring right). They actually gave me another, shorter extender strap as well, which is 17". I'm not sure that is usually included with the medium bag as the description indicates only one strap (the longer one) but I think they might have given it to me to make up for me having to return to the store because the CA forgot to give me any additional strap!

Finally did some photos, including a what fits - there was actually a little more room for things even after this. I like the retro dust bag they put the extender straps in, too.
I went to Gucci today, I tried on the medium-size, unfortunately they didn't have it in the purple.
There are two straps that come with the bag, the long cross body strap and the shorter strap for longer shoulder carry.
I am 5'8, with the longest strap buckled at the longest possible length, I was able to crossbody it.
The pink colourway is very pretty.

I am in love with this bag! I've been looking for a Chrismas gift for myself and this just might be it! 
I'm interested in the medium size bag--thought the 2 smaller sizes are also intriguing. I am torn on color, though, so I need to get into a boutique to see what's available for in store viewing.
Thanks to everyone for posting pix!

Yes, I saw that, which is why I focused more on a what fits in there demo for my pics. The green is stunning, but I had to be practical, and the black is lovely too.By the way, purseblog did a spread on the medium size bag yesterday, there are pix with both the long and shoulder strap:

I know what you mean about practical! I would love the green or purple but the black or brown would definitely get more use.
Thanks so much for posting and congrats on the purchase! It's absolutely beautiful and fits so much! I'm 5'2" as well; may I ask, does the bag look flattering worn crossbody, or do you mostly plan to use as a shoulder bag?
