jumbo all the way. The size is perfect!

injenue · Mar 3rd, 2008, 05:11 AM

sorry to hijack... when you all mentioned too small to carry things... how small is it really? i'm trying to decide between med/lge and jumbo... i carry a long wallet.. phone.. keys and sometimes handcream and tissue :P... so will it fit in a medium?
the bag i'm after is the distressed caviar hybrid... and apparently it's very soft and can fit a bit more?

cchan83 · Mar 3rd, 2008, 06:27 AM

I love the medium cuz jumbo is too big for me. You can't go wrong with either black / white. Red is a rare find.

celialan · Mar 3rd, 2008, 07:08 AM

Could you guys tell me the price of each in usa?

cammy1 · Mar 3rd, 2008, 07:08 AM

i prefer medium- but i may get a jumbo later on but i am scared it will look strange on me

fufu · Mar 3rd, 2008, 07:43 AM

It depends on how much things you carry. It depends on which bag suits your body frame the best too. I haven't see the exactly real classic flap bag yet though.

jeshika · Mar 3rd, 2008, 07:54 AM

i have the medium in white caviar and love it! it's just the right size! i bought the black caviar jumbo awhile back and ended up returning it because i thought it looked too big... now i've got a hankering for another classic flap in black and am torn between the medium and the jumbo... i think i'll go with the medium just because it's the right size for me and all my stuff... :P

Oh pinkrose, I totally second that!!!! I am so happy to get the S/S08 reissue in size 225 (slightly bigger than the med, I think) and I am sure even now, that I wld have that over a jumbo. And now that I have it, I want a 2nd bag (my 2nd choice) - a jumbo in caviar (altho I so love lamb) for daily/'rough' (tho how cld I bear to be rough on a Chanel?!) use. Tell me I am NOT greedy

Lola · Mar 3rd, 2008, 08:58 AM

I think the Jumbo is much more practical. It can hold make-up, a camera, cell phone and still have a little a extra room. I feel you really have to cram a medium to get the same stuff in or decide what you need to leave out.

e_pinpin · Mar 3rd, 2008, 02:22 PM

I had the same dilemma, I love the med/large for its look but i don't wanna just get it as a going out bag i wanna be able to use to daily too

So i decided to get the black e/w flap with gh for going out (can't justify spending so much more on the med/large for similar look and storage capacity) also hubbie and SA told me e/w looks dressier and would be great for dinners and nightouts

now i'm planning to get the black jumbo in sh so i can use it as an everyday bag

So, i guess i skipped my favourite (the med/large) altogether and got something that i can really make use of.

So i'm all for jumbo!!! (and e/w of course)

I think I made the right decision and i couldn't be happier :) good luck!!!

tulip618 · Mar 3rd, 2008, 02:41 PM

I prefer the medium too!!Jumbo is way to big!!!! I hope to get one too! Start saving $$$!!!

angelicdust · Mar 3rd, 2008, 07:31 PM

i just got the jumbo and i wished that i had purchased the medium instead

so...MEDIUM!

Sounds like a jumbo would be better for you, esp with the long wallet...

venusfly · Mar 3rd, 2008, 07:48 PM

My first bag was a Jumbo because initially I thought the Medium was just waaaay too small to be practical. BUT I much prefer the look of the Medium, aesthetically speaking. So I forced myself to downsize what I carry around. Now that I've trained myself to carry around less "stuff" the Medium is the size I prefer.

Sina · Mar 3rd, 2008, 08:21 PM

If you are tiny like MK, I would go with the medium. The jumbo doesn't look right on her. I would get black. I have black and white jumbo but I love my black 1000X more than my white. Good luck finding red, it's very highly sought after and completely sold out.
