I carry the 25-- I'm 5'6 and a size 16. A lot can fit in the 25!! I had been considering going up a size or two (30 or 35) but recently was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome of both wrists and some other long medical jargon condition of just the right- and my Dr. suggested not carrying a bag!! :cry: I told her that was CRAZY!!:nuts: I couldn't possibly comply-- so she said to lighten up-- long story short I pulled out my old stand by--- speedy 25! and all is better!!:love:
 
Thank you all for sharing -- it really helps.
I think I probably will be happy with either -- am now making craft- paper mock ups (thanks to the suggestion from Valley Oppressed) and am still going back and forth between the two sizes. Meanwhile, am appreciative of all the insights and would welcome hearing from anyone with an opinion -- they all help me clarify what might work for me. Thanks again --
 
I'm 5'6" and ordered a 30 from Eluxury before and it was too large for my taste. I plan to get the damier speedy 25 when it comes out. It's the best proportion for me.

I didn't think it would happen but I feel myself giving in to the "inevitable?" I'm seriously considering a Speedy. But there are no places to see one anywhere near here. Just cannot tell whether the 25 or the 30. Holding up pieces of paper, comparing to current bags --just cannot tell (I am 5'3"). The 30 size seems right on paper, but looks larger in the photos (?) Also, what does it look like if you do't completely load it up?

So -- if you have a Speedy 25 or 30, would you please share why you chose it, and any suggestions . . .

I;m 5 4 and the 30 just looked too big on me. the 25 is perfect and Im happy with it. you have to go with what looks good on your size and body type.

i'm 4'11" and i have a 25. it's the perfect size for me. it fits everything i need plus it still has room for more.

It is very roomy. I have tiny wrists and if I had a 30 and put too much stuff in it...it would be too heavy. I can get alot in my 25 but I like to keep it light. If I have to carry a whole lot..I would go for an LV tote style bag.
