hiiii i think it honestly comes down to what/when you're planning to use the bag for. if this is going to be your daily bag, what are your daily necessities? i think that will determine what size you should go with more so than your gender if that makes sense~

i think the shape of the puzzle is very unisex so i don't think you can go wrong with any size! one other thing to keep in mind is how you prefer to carry bags (shoulder/crossbody/handheld?). e.g. the mini's strap is non-adjustable and mainly made to be carried crossbody and handheld.

Thank you so much! I would probably use it more for my wallet, phone, smaller iPad maybe, etc.

I think the large is too large and the mini might be too small. I am liking the medium. I am also trying to figure out if I want a bright and fun color or traditional black:

I wouldn’t go larger than a medium for sure. The large almost fits a laptop (though it needs to be Tetris-ed into the bag) so it would probably be too big for what you intend to carry with it. The small actually can hold an iPad mini but it’s again quite a tight fit. We have every size of the puzzle except the XL and our go-tos are the small and medium almost all the time. Hope that helps!

So I'm a guy about 5'10", and the medium is pretty proportional for me. I have both the medium and the large. For what you described, the large is too big. I would definitely recommend the medium.

I have a large puzzle in the asphalt gray which I’ve mainly used as an airplane travel bag. It holds a ton and is perfect for that use case but I think it’s a little too big for a daily carry. Im thinking about getting a medium one in black (or possibly the nylon puffer goya) for more everyday use.

I’m also a guy, and recently tried on both the small and medium to use as an everyday crossbody. I’m 5’10” with a slimmer build, and the small ended up being the perfect proportion with the medium kinda feeling like luggage. I feel like it comes down to your own body frame and how you’re looking to use the bag, so I’d definitely recommend trying a few sizes in-person if you can to see what works/looks best!

I’m a guy and I’m 5’8”. I have a large Puzzle and it’s definitely a bag that is sized to carry more than you described. Mine is lined in black so it kind of makes it a little comical when I wear it casually with just a few things and I try to find my key fob. For this reason and this reason alone (lol), I have been considering a medium or small in black or gold to be a little bit more of a “formal” situation.

I have been thinking about the green nylon Goya with the orange strap since I saw it on IG on Chloe Sevigny. It’s beautiful but I just don’t know if I can throw down that much for a nylon messenger.

It’s a lambskin interior if that makes you feel better. Lol. I think it’s a gorgeous bag too but also can’t bear to pull the trigger because the price is so high.
