i need y'alls input because i'm genuinely stuck. background context: i'm 5'10, 158lbs, toned, male. so i've been struggling because out of all the colors i feel like turquoise is my favourite. i feel like the 25 is a decent size, but on the smaller side and i feel like 40 is too big (even though i danced with the idea of getting a 40). i feel like a 30 is the good in between, but doesn't come in turquoise. so that leaves me with the primary colors, i thought about red because that is the only one of the primary series that i like (but just not as much as i like the turquoise). i generally want it for more everyday use or use more regular as opposed to a travel bag. everyone with a bag, what would you do? get the turquoise in the size you potentially might not be 100% on, or get a size that works but the color might not be 100% or do you wait for 30 to come in a color that you like? i just worry a 25 is going to be too small for my frame? plus getting a 25 in store to see in person has been like pulling teeth. i am strugggggggling. because i want a p9, i just haven't been able to commit.​

Hi, someone once coin a saying on TPF and I used it to make a final decision that rings true- buying a bag in the wrong size, color is still the wrong bag and such you should never compromise at that cost factor. Also there was another TPF member can recall the name lol-
Don’t compromise. Love what you love. Get what you love. Don’t make yourself love what you get.-So either in my opinion would work out so I suggest you wait until the perfect bag for your collection.

As someone who owns a monogram P9 in a size 25, and a turquoise in a 40, I will weigh in. Pun intended. I purchased the 25 first and always felt it was a tad on the small size for me. When the turquoise was launched, my CA could only get his hands on the 40. I essentially talked myself into the 40 by saying it was pretty much same dimensions as a Neverfull GM. While that is true, after owning the 40 for almost a year now, I rarely carry it. It's just too heavy. As others have mentioned, it's a heavy bag with nothing in it. Put a reasonable amount of items in it and it's like carrying bricks on your shoulder. These bags are way too expensive to make a mistake like I did. Hold out for the size and color that is perfect for you. I so wish they had done the turquoise in a 30. It would no doubt be my perfect bag.
