I just received my new medium LD today, and am so in love! I watched several size comparison vids between med and large before purchasing (no boutique in Charleston so had to use website and rely on the experience of others). I am completely happy with the medium size, and now I’ve seen it in real life, feel the large would’ve been way too bulky and heavy for me. I’m fairly petite, 5’4 (and 1/2!), so sadly not as tall as you, but this is no tiny bag. I was carrying a small Chanel CF, and this bag dwarfs it. That’s one reason I bought the med LD—the small CF is more of an evening bag, no space for my LV mini pochette or sunglasses. The only other things I carry daily are my phone, a small LV wallet, key pouch, little change purse, travel pack of tissues, hand sanitizer wipes, and a couple extra face masks due to the pandemic. The medium LD will look practically empty with the basics I carry, and the large would’ve just been cavernous. After the pandemic this will be my out to lunch/shopping/dinner bag. On my volunteer work days I carry a large le pliage tote because I need more with me (small snack or lunch, water bottle, clutch purse). All of that would fit in the large LD, but I can’t imagine putting a yeti bottle, apple, bag of carrot slices, and container of hummus in such a bag. In the end it really depends on how much you need to carry with you. I’m already looking at other colors in the medium. Hope you love whichever you choose!!
