Chanel CF medium vs Chanel CF jumbo

[juju2016]

Hi! I went to a second hand shop and tried thr Chanel CF medium and Jumbo. Which looks better on me? Which should i buy?

I can’t make a decision because the medium size seems can’t fit much. I am also close to 50 and I expect to gain more weight and the medium may become too small for me. The jumbo’s chain may appear a bit too long but I can use a chain shortener for this, therefore I think it won’t be a problem. I can only afford one chanel CF in my lifetime so please help me decide.

I have the jumbo and love it. There are clips to adjust the chain length inside the bag. The jumbo holds what you need but no more. I’m also curious about the medium.

Some thoughts:

I’m more drawn to the jumbo — especially the 24K gold hardware.

Plus, black and gold is more classic to me — you cannot go wrong with either though.

The double flap on the medium can be annoying to get in and out of on the daily.

Caviar a little more carefree, but lambskin is more durable than folks give it credit for.

Both look good on you — get the one that screams to you the most.

Lambskin is an exercise in terror. Caviar is way more carefree.

The double flap can be a bit … but it helps preserve the shape.

I could not disagree more re: lamb.

But, yes, caviar is more carefree.
