Which bag would you get?

I'm looking to purchase my first Chanel and I need some opinions!

My options are the caviar new accordion bag in black or a med-large or jumbo caviar flap in black with silver hardwear.

I'm 5'7 and slim and the SA at the Chanel store is trying to steer me towards the med-large flap. I think I might prefer a more roomier bag though!

I'm attaching a pic of the accordion in white as well.

The medium/large flap is too small for daily use. Go with the jumbo or the accordian.

I say, split the difference and go with a Black Jumbo. The size is right in between the medium/large and the Accordion. I am 5'1 and slim and I don't think the Jumbo is overwhelming at all, but large enough for my needs, for the most part.

The accordion is divided inside isn't it? Into three sections? Someone correct me if I am wrong. The jumbo and accordion are both good for day bags. I carry medium and east west flaps but I'm really young and only carry my phone, keys etc. My mom likes the accordion more because she doesn't like everything falling into the bottom of one compartment...if you want a roomier bag, def. get the jumbo or accordion..

Thanks guys you're making me feel more comfortable in getting a bigger bag. I really do need this to be functional and not just an occasional bag. I wonder why the SA was trying to push the cheaper medium flap?!

Hmm maybe it just looks really cute on ya

Def. get a bigger bag then. I really love the accordion flap now...it's growing on me! But the jumbo classic flap is still iconic...hmm. You should get a medium flap too hehe

Post pics of the bag you decide to get though!!!

Whoa enabler!!

I can only afford one for now lol
I'll have to have another look at them as I do love both the accordion and the jumbo.

In answer to another poster, yes the accordion is divided unlike the jumbo.
