Happy Sunday Everyone!
I will soon be making a decision on my 2nd Chanel bag - my HG for that matter.
I purchased my first ever Chanel piece back in June (Cavier Half-Moon Woc SHW) in Vegas as a little congratulations present for paying off my student loans! (Some of you may remember from my previous threads)
My HG bag is the Classic Black Cavier 2.55 in GHW. I wanted something with GHW more so for evening outs and fancier occasions (weddings, dinner parties etc) but did not want it to be limited to just those outings. I know I can wear it dressed down as well which is why I was leaning towards that size as it is more versatile.
After scowling through the forum and looking at pictures and other posts, I am now wondering if I should go for the Jumbo. This will probably be my ONLY flap bag for a long time unless I win the lottery lol. Pros on the jumbo is that I can use it more so on a casual basis for the weekends because of the size as it can carry more. I want to be able to use the bag I buy as much as possible because of the price, it would be a waste to have it sit in my closet for only special occasions. The problem with the larger Jumbo is that it's too big for more formal occasions (enter my half moon woc, as I have used it as a clutch, mini shoulder bag etc and I LOVE IT)
What do you all think? Which size is the better choice and which size is more practical? If I go for the Jumbo, I think I would want the SHW because I would want it more as a casual weekend bag and not so much as a formal dressier bag. If I go for the classic 2.55 I think I would do the GWH.
I know they are both completely different but I am having trouble deciding.. all opinions and personal experiences with each are welcome! I appreciate all your time and thank you in advance for helping me decide when I finally am able to purchase it
