Help Me Decide - vintage XL

[bluediamond35]

Hi Ladies,

I would like to get a vintage XL soon. I am trying to decided between a Maxi Chevron or a Jumbo Quilted. I like the chevron pattern but I worry that it is too wide compared to the Jumbo Size . The jumbo is 2 inches smaller in width compared to the Maxi but I think the pricing will be more.

I have several vintage jumbos and love them, but personally the maxi is too big for me.

Here's a picture with one if it helps! I'm 5'7"

I love the maxi but it is going to be really heavy with the caviar leather. I ultimately went with a jumbo in lambskin because the caviar was too heavy and I felt the maxi was too big. I do wish I had gotten the maxi now because I love how big it is. I am 5'8 for reference.
