hi! i'm new here at purse forum and i'm about to purchase my first chanel 2.55 from Saks (MPA is until the 15th! wow, one year to pay, no interest!) can't decide between a medium and a jumbo. only $200 difference but i'm leaning more on getting the medium.. need input.. thanks!

you won't regret buying a jumbo

queenofchic · Nov 6th, 2009, 02:22 PM

^ ITA. You should get the jumbo. My 1st flap was the M/L but I had to switch it up to the jumbo (like most tPers). If you don't carry a lot, need a bag to transition into nights, or you're really petite, then the M/L is a great choice --it's the classic Chanel size. But if you're looking for the perfect everyday bag, the jumbo is the best way to go ---you get more bang for your buck. Try both on again at the boutique before you make your final decision. Either way, both are gorgeous!

I think in the end you need both =\ haha so get which every you have been wanting more first :)

I exchanged my m/l for a jumbo so that's what I would suggest.

Jumbo! You will never regret : )

LV_L0ver · Nov 6th, 2009, 03:03 PM

Another vote for jumbo.

I just got one and love the size of it.

jbebang · Nov 6th, 2009, 03:04 PM

thanks! my husband thinks i should get the jumbo (w/ the price diff and all), but i need to hear it from you girls ",) wish me luck!!!

jbebang · Nov 6th, 2009, 03:05 PM

@nycgirl 330: if only i can get both at the same time.. guess medium will be my wishlist for next year...

mommy4luke · Nov 6th, 2009, 03:06 PM

JUMBO or Maxi! Sorry to throw that in but for me M/L is way too small!

MarvelGirl · Nov 6th, 2009, 03:07 PM

Jumbo all the way! You will love it - no regrets ever!

Jumbo is too big for me.
I am only weight 92 pounds though

ghostdreamer · Nov 6th, 2009, 04:53 PM

my first chanel was m/l... even though i always complain its too small.. i still don't own any jumbo... kinda of weird..

**Chanel** · Nov 6th, 2009, 05:06 PM

Why not do a search on TPF for example in the post your Chanel in action thread? Or I don't know if you live near a Chanel boutique or else you could try them both on to see which one you prefer.
I like both, medium and Jumbo, I don't know if you carry much stuff?
Medium is perfect for day and night if you don't carry too much stuff and Jumbo has much more space. Hope this helps!
Good luck with your decision

I agree with the majority... I'm also new and just started my addiction to Chanel. I bought my first Chanel (2 weeks ago) M/L in Caviar black with G/H, but it was too small for me. So yesterday, I purchased a jumbo in Caviar but with S/H. =)

Ohh... i was also concerned about the size of the jumbo because I'm very petit. 5'2" and only 95 lbs, but my SA made a point that if you made the strap a little shorter it makes a big difference.
