I would suggest the Timeless Classic Flap in black , either in the Jumbo size or medlarge, depending on how much you usually bring with you. Check out the Chanel action thread, the modelling pics might give you a better idea.

Yes a med or Jumbo classic flap will be nice. Go try it out in the boutique if you can! Good luck

A classic flap would be a good 1st Chanel.

Definitely a classic flap. They'll probably stay in style as long as Chanel exists.

^ITO. When I think of Chanel, I immediately think of the classic flap. That was my 1st Chanel as well. It's such a classic!

Yes! That was my first chanel too! I've been really into flaps ever since, all of my subsequent Chanels were flap bags too (the bigger the better)! But I'm thisclose to getting a tote now though LOL
