I personally don't like the Jumbo just because I think it's too big. But I also don't carry around that much stuff.. so I guess that also contributes to the reason why I don't like the Jumbo too much. For me, the medium is the perfect size. It can be casual but it can also be used for the night out.
I think red is usually really hard to come by. But if you do get your hands on a red flap then DEFINITELY go for it!!!
I like black because if it gets dirty you can't even tell!! hehe
good luck! and keep us updated on what you decide to get

i have both medium and jumbo. i love them both equally.

for the medium i love wearing it with single chain. but it doesnt hold much.

since i got my jumbo havent used my medium cos it holds tons.

i will choose jumbo as your first. if you can find red i will get that if not black is so nice too. both of mine are black with gold h/w.

you wont have problems find black so if you come across the red buy it first.

The size really depends on what you are planning to use it for and how much you carry around with you? My first was a medium flap as I felt the jumbo looked too big on me. Now I have a jumbo and love it because it holds so much more!!!!
As for the colour, black is always classic but red is hard to find. So these two get my vote.
Let us know what you get!!!

I'm with Tarabag and prefer the medium -- well now because of my ailing back but my first Chanel was a black medium classic and believe me this size can work a wedding, formal affair, dinners, funerals. It's an anytime, and place purse -- and mine has gold hardware, again a touch dressier.

Black can be easily be found, so if you see red -- go for the red. I classify it as a basic along with black and white.

I think it does depend on how much you carry. I purchased a medium flap first and since I carry a long wallet, I only could really fit that in there and my cell phone and not much else. So then I bought a Jumbo which fits everything I need. For me, I think the medium will be a nice "going out" bag, whereas the Jumbo will be a nice everyday bag.

As for colour ... you can't go wrong with classic black!

I love the jumbo. I don't carry the medium for day use b/c frankly, I think it is too small (for me.) I am also tall and so evening aside, I just think the medium is a bit disproportionate to my height.

Jumbo's and 228's for anything. lol~~~~but I've always been a big bag girl- love to have room in my bag for whatever, I get annoyed if my bag gets too cluttered and is stretching at the seams!

Love the pictures you posted~!

The jumbo is perfect as a day bag. The medium, for me, is not large enough for my day bag. If you don't carry much in your purse the medium is a godd day into night bag.

Have you tried them on for size?
For a classic bag the jumbo was too big for me. The medium was perfect and looked more "classic" compared to the jumbo.
My dream bag is the jumbo red in lambskin.
My classic bag is black med cav with g/h (I've always thought g/h to be classier.)

I like the jumbo...wish I could afford it!

[Celia_Hish]

I have both med/large flap and i intially prefer the med then realise the size is very limited. Then i got a jumbo one and love it as it can stuff more.

Black is the classic and u won't go wrong with anything but white is hard to maintain due to the color. As for red, i don't think u can find any in the stores right now as it's a seasonal color, u either have to find them on ebay or consignment shops.

I thikn jumbo is good for work and everyday whereas like the others said,, medium does not fit that much esp since I also carry a long rather big wallet.. it's up to u..I think you should get both eventually :)

As for colour, I'm really liking white right now :) , btw, in the pics you posted, the colour of the bags next to Sienna Miller (red medium) of those flaps, is that light pink or salmon? it's suuuuuch a yummy colour!

[Fairladyz]

personally i prefer the medium.. (hooray! i just got one!) as i am rather petite so the jumbo will look too big for me..

depending on your build and what u gotta carry...

Jumbo!!!!!!!!!!! I just got mine last wk. & I love it!!! I was surprised to see how much it holds. If you need room for alot of things, then the jumbo is the way to go!!!

GL!!
