The small one is stunning! I would get one. I tried a veneta with the older shoulder strap, not as puffy, but it really wasn't for me. It was the medium and it felt awkward. I'm almost 5'6.The SA said that this is a new size -- here is the only picture I can find online:

Same strap length, but smaller purse
Good to know that the strap softens a lot! Do the straps stay put on your shoulder?
I feel like it's practically blasphemous to say on the forum that it didn't work, bit maybe a larger veneta would have suited me better.
I say try the small parachute and see.
Let us know)
