The owner of the local boutique told me the leather has changed.... and is better quality now...
I stopped by Bloomingdales yesterday and I held the small Red LPC. For some reason, it seemed like the strap for the small is much shorter than the strap of the small a few seasons ago. It certainly is shorter than the strap for my medium red I purchased last year at Nordstrom.
I know they change strap lengths so if that is a concern for others, I would recommend stopping by your local store to try their lengths out!

Yeah, I have various strap lengths from different seasons and I wonder when they do change the length, if you order a classic color online from some websites the would you even know if you're getting a newer one or older?
Wish they would just make them longer and adjustable.
Exactly. I remember when I ordered the Mocha/Moka on Bluefly and they said the drop strap was XXinches and when it arrived, it was NOT that length. (I emailed them and they were able to remedy it by crediting me a percentage of payment.)
I actually liked the length of the red small LPC because of my height(4'11") but it would be hard to wear as a crossbody for other people(though I know most wear it as a shoulder bag).
Okay, so I feel a little bit silly posting these, but I know they're very helpful. I wish I had these pictures before I ordered my bags. So glad I got both sizes. Originally I ordered the medium size because the sales associate said that would better fit my frame. The next day I decided to buy the small as well. So glad that I did.
For reference I am 5'9
The first photos are of the medium size.

The straps are exactly the same length on both bags. Here I'm wearing both of them 
So, I decided on the smaller bag. Even though I am tall I feel this bag suits me perfectly. I don't plan on carrying it cross body that often. I want a cute little handheld duffel bag. The larger one would only make me carry a lot of more stuff that I don't need to carry. Plus, I didn't like the way it looked that big and saggy.
I hope this helps anyone that is on the fence.
Also, the leather smells heavenly. It is soft and squishy and I can't wait for it to gain in beauty over time.

The cherry looks great on you. It's a gorgeous red. I'm excited to pick this up soon. I think the small one is a good size for me too.The straps are exactly the same length on both bags. Here I'm wearing both of them

Thanks so much for the comparison shots -- this is really helpful! Both sizes look good on you, I think, but you can really see the difference in the pic where you're wearing both bags, What a difference! I can see why you went with the small. The red looks great on you, BTW.

The medium looks okay when hand carried but looks huge when worn crossbody. The small looks great across the body. Congrats on the cherry red! It looks great!
I am as tall as you and found that the crossbody strap was a little too short for me. I love both bags on you but agree that the small suited you perfectly. Great choice of color, so cheery.
