I had jumbo and sold it. Too big and heavy. I think I bought jumbo because everyone on YouTube says jumbo should be your first bag 
.
I would say depending on your frame, go with either small or medium.

If you are able to I suggest going to see a jumbo in person and try it on. I much prefer my jumbo over my medium. I also don’t find it too heavy. I agree that it’s too long to cross body which is my only complaint about this bag.
I am short. 5’2.
I wish the medium would fit more! It’s quite a right fit in there but yeah maybe the medium beige might be a better choice.

Am short, 5'1 an i had and sold a jumbo. Looked too big on me plus the bag was heavy.
Beige is a great choice! what ever you decide hope you love/enjoy using
I prefer Jumbo over Medium (except for the summer period) and I get more wear out of it, but since you have Medium you should be able to determine if you need a bag which offers more space. If medium fits your needs, go with beige in the same size. If it does not and you often feel you need a bigger bag, I would suggest a Jumbo.
I have three jumbos and it’s my favorite size. I may even add one more. I only have one medium classic flap for evenings out, that’s enough. The medium just doesn’t function as an every day bag for me. It holds too little and I don’t like how it hangs either single chained or doubled. The jumbo (called large now) sits so nicely when double chained and it has a back pocket for my phone and a mask which I’ve come to realize is a convenience I need
A jumbo might be fine for you, just a bit of caution.
Hopefully you can try a jumbo on and perhaps put your wallet in it. Remember the chain on the jumbo is longer and heavier than medium. I'm about 5. 5 and more robust in size. I find that I tire of wearing my jumbo all day - if carrying shopping bags. For example, I would not take my jumbo along a planned shopping trip. If you have someone else carry your bags, then it's perfect!
I've seen a few ladies in LA with their jumbos and husbands/son's/partners. are carrying the shopping bags.

I'm 5'2 and small frame (0/00/xs). Mini and jumbo are my favorite size. Before kids, jumbo was my favorite. I don't find it heavy at all. I don't carry it as often anymore because I have a 2 and 5 yo and I need only crossbody bags. I don't carry my mini with them either since it's lambskin and too small for my needs. My m/l is my least favorite because it can't be worn crossbody. It's really only an evening bag for me but with the pandemic there's no use for it...it's the only bag I have not taken out in the last year.
I think you should try out the jumbo if you can in the store and also take a look at the m/l beige. See which one you fall in love with.
Everyone has different taste so ultimately it's what you fall in love with when you see it.

Hi! I have both - small and medium. I’m 5‘7 and crossbody isn’t my fav look for this bagHello there i have a question to the small / medium flap owner; is the small / medium differs in chain length? Some source said that the medium are longer, but i've also heard that the small are actually longer and how long is it single drop? i am quiet tall and thinking to get the one with the longer chain to use it as a crossbody (bum bag look)
Thanks
- unfortunately. So I tend to wear it like shown in the pic with the red one/short strap.Attachments
I ❤️ Small. Medium is too wide for my liking.
Can anyone tell me what the most recent series for the classic flap is? Is this the 28 series (for example). I want to buy a classic flap and at this moment it is in stock and just want to make sure that I don’t buy a real old series one.
