Okay, this made me actually LOL because I've said the exact same thing before. I'm not much of a Chanel girl tbh (doesn't really suit me) but when I saw a photo of Jordana Brewster carrying it, I knew if there was ever a Chanel bag I wanted, it was this ginormous monstrosity of a flap bag.

I just love the squishiness of the leather. Like others, I laughed at the size, but there's just something about it...
I missed out on the black with ruthenium so ended up ordering one with gold hardware but, in the end, I couldn't handle the gold. I figure for these prices I should wait to get exactly what I want.
Here's a video that shows it crossbody on quite a petite girl. Note that it's the lighter canvas version of the XXL so it probably lays a little different than the leather. (It's the first bag she reviews starting at 1:00)
I love this thread! The people who run this site could attest to the fact that when I periodically pop in this forum I always do a search for "XXL" to see if anyone's talking about it.
