In the US the price is $2590, so just a little more than the medium. I agree. I am swinging back into big bags!
Just ordered from NM in Black! It's back ordered till 2/14 - in time for Valentine's Day!
i am torn between the medium and the large. I normally opt for a larger sized back but I think the medium size can be compared to the Chanel Jumbo dimensions - in which case the medium is big enough. I've read comments that the large feels too much like a laptop back so I feel torn and unsure. Can't wait to see pics!
I think it's a very handy size of you carry a small laptop and agenda, umbrella, etc. but there's very little functionality in that they haven't changed the back of the bag to include any exterior slip pocket because of the heart design. Yes, yes...It's always been a beautiful wave pattern.
Still.......
The interior has two card slip pockets instead of two wide slip pockets for a mobile phone or pens/mini notebooks/chargers etc., which is very bizarre. Plastic cards will be out of vogue in another 5-10 years, especially for payment purposes. This includes other plastic cards such as loyalty, commute and more. Many bags feel dated because of the inadequate pocket sizes, so I get that future proofing can be a tricky road, that's why I feel a wide rectangular slip pocket can't go wrong. It fits cash notes, mobile phones, coins, notebooks and more, which seems a more practical use than taking this behemoth bag with you to shop and then fiddle with to get the payment card from the slip pockets. Seems better to have an exception here with an exterior slip pocket.

That is fantastic feedback. I am 5’6” as well and am now leaning towards the medium. I really appreciate your post.
I ordered the new large style with the top handle. It is not as large so hopefully it will work better. The medium is just too small for me.
I bought the medium size in Nude and absolutely love it! I have always been used to larger bags such as the Soho shoulder tote and the NF MM, but I am really loving how lightweight and convenient this bag is! I’ve downsized what I carry a bit, but I can still fit all the essentials. I did look at the large size but it seemed awkward to me. Too tall and the proportions looked off. My SA said the large bag was more for a small laptop business type bag. Definitely too big for crossbody. I think the medium is just perfect!
