I'm 5"2 and love the size of the 30 ( I have the multicolor white and black and the perforated green)...when I carry the cerise 25 it feels way too small and doesn't stand out much unless you get real close.
 
I'm 5'6 (160cm) and I have the 25. It holds a lot (pti wallet, pm agenda, cosmetic pouch, glass case, keys, cell and still room left). I think it just comes down to personal likes the 25 looks a bit less sporty than the 30. I like both sizes.

Well thanks for all the responses so far and please keep them coming. I'm still standing in front of the mirror with my pieces of paper and similar-size bags and trying to decide! Thanks thanks thanks for all the input!

I should sue you for copying my idea!:laugh: I thought I was the only one who did the paper thing! I don't know if you've already done this, but a 3D paper model made with scotch tape (with correct height, width, and length) is REALLY helpful!

BTW: I like the 30- bigger is better (or order both and return 1)
 
I'm like English Girl, I'm 5'7 and have the 30. I find it just wright for me.
The only negative thing about this bag is that I find the opening a bit narrow and so it's not super easy to find stuff inside(especially if you have lots of stuff like me) ..:D
 
30! 30! GET THE THIRTY.

for the simple reason that it fits your life without overpowering your entire being.

i love it to bits and pieces! GO WITH THE THIRTY and you wont regret it!
 
Oh my! Thanks for all the input! Thanks Valley Oppressed for the idea of making a 3D model! Brilliant!
There are two Speedys --a 25 and a 30 -- on eBay right now. Seller is UKdesigneritems and looks legitimate -- bags and seller seem good if anyone wants to check?
 
I'll break the mold here, I'm 5-9 and I love love love my 25! But, I am not a big handbag person. I only carry my wallet, cell phone, planner and a few other little things in it for everyday. I don't like having a heavy bag. But really the best way to decide is to go "try them on" at a boutique. I really couldn't tell until I saw them in person.
 
I went with a 30, too. I didn't think the size difference was that drastic and for me, a larger bag is always better. It isn't that the 30 is too big it is that the 25 is too small, IMO.
 
I'm 5'3" and I choose the 25. I thought that porportionally, it looked better on me than the 30. Also, I'm all about condensing things and being ultra organized, so I went with the smaller bag. I actually have mostly larger/oversized bags, so I went for something different.

I hope all our comments help...I think we're pretty evenly split.
 
Yup...I'm another who's torn between 25 and 30 if I go speedy. I'm 5', and just a generally small person...and last time I saw the 30 multicolore in the store I was like no way! But I really want a perfo in pink so we'll see...or I'll hold out for the metallic stuff...I just don't know!!!!:sad2:
 
i'm 5'7 and a size 10 (US), but more fluffy than fit. :) i bought a 30. when i was at the boutique i walked in and said that i wanted a speedy but couldn't decide what size and the SA pulled out the 25 and the 30 saying they were the most popular. i tried on both, and the 25 just looked plain funny on me. with my height and weight it was just too diminutive. :) besides, i carry LOTS of stuff around with me (makeup, book, liter of water, keys, paperwork, phone, etc). i think the 30 is a better size for toting stuff around and it was only 30 dollars more for a ton more room.

i personally believe that whether you get the 25 or 30 depends on how thin you are. i've seen a few girls carrying the 25 and it looked really great on them, but they were also -tiny- sometimes you'll you see pictures of celebs carrying a thirty and it just dwarfs them. it has a lot to do with your body proportions.
