You will definitely love it and do let us know how your hardware wears as I would still like an all black one day.
Definitely! With 2020 behind me, I’m going for it! That includes in my bag choices lol! I ALWAYS wanted black on black and if it chips then I dab on a little black nail polish. I got a So Black Chanel cardholder as an experiment a year and a half ago and it’s holding up nicely

Good for you, that’s the right attitude. I have two Chanel ones, a shiny boy style that’s perfect and a crumpled calfskin that’s worn off after a few uses. Luck of the draw I guess:drinks:

I just receive my medium mat crinkle grey bag and love it. It was described in the web as lamb skins but the card says calf.A bit confused as I was aiming to get a lamb skins because if all reviews that is so soft and luxurious...
 
I’m debating this question also! I think the small would be better for day to night since it looks better crossbody but I like that the medium looks more substantial (more puffer to love!).
 
The small is a really great size. Big enough for everything one would need and easily accommodates a full size wallet, etc. but it’s also not so big that it’s a black hole. It’s also nice and smooshy, but still keeps its shape somewhat. I feel like the medium is huge, and just slouches in on itself. But if you like big bags it may be what your looking for. It may be worth getting both to compare in person, and sending one back.
 
I was able to go in the boutique and try on both sizes, small and medium. I can see why most people would go for the small since it seems more versatile in terms of wearing it crossbody or on the shoulder. BUT I ended up getting the medium because to me, it seemed more substantial and I loved the way it looked on the shoulder. It looks OK crossbody too (a little bigger like messenger bag size), but I really liked how it felt on the shoulder and it was just more huggable! Im attracted to the puffer bc of the softness and puffiness and there was more of that in the medium. I also think there’s many more options for bags similar to the small size (like the small loulou, LV pochette Métis), so the medium to me filled a size gap since it’s smaller than a regular tote bag but bigger than a small-size bag.

Congrats. I actually wear my medium puffer cross body a lot. Now the regular LouLou doesn't look nice cross body.

Thanks! I think I will wear it cross body also when I need hands-free. To me (I’m 5’6), there wasn’t THAT much of a size difference. For someone more petite I can see how it may see too big, but even the SA thought the medium looked better on me. When I saw a puffer on display (not next to other bags) I even asked the SA if it was the small or medium bc in some angles they look similar.
 
I had a conference in the city and tried on the small and medium. Loved them both, but leaning towards the small. BUT WOW so comfortable and light both sizes and the leather is gorgeous!! yummy yummy
