Default Medium vs. Jumbo?

I thought I had decided on getting on the Classic Flap in medium. But the more I see the jumbo, the more it appeals to me! What is your opinion: medium vs. jumbo??

Does anyone know the dimension of each and also the pricing? Show me side by side photos of the two if you have! =)

Thanks!!

Jumbo is $2250 I think the measurements are 12"L 8"H 3".

I think the Medium is $1995(?)

I have the jumbo and I love it because I can dress it up or down and it easily goes from work to dinner. I love it and I think it's especially perfect for my height.

The medium seems like more of an evening bag for me.

But I'm petite in size, only 5'. Thus, the jumbo will look 'gigantic' on me. I opt for medium instead

If you're feeling that way already, then I say go for the jumbo. You'll never "outgrow" it.

If you're tall, go for the Jumbo, if you're petite, go for the medium.

If you wanted something cheaper, go for the medium. Hehe!

the jumbo is by far the more practical size-- if you'll be getting this Chanel as an "everyday" kinda bag, then i suggest going for the Jumbo whichever you decide on getting, they are both wonderful bags and you can't go wrong with either!

I would say the jumbo... It's more practical and with the same style as the medium. Though it's not for all occasions, more an everyday bag. The medium is the perfect bag for a night out..
