My Jumbo (lilac/grey lamb skin) is double flap and looked much better on me than the medium. I am 5'8". I love it to bits and don't find it heavy. Sorry I don't know the official name of the colour, sure I could find it on the receipt.
 
You would probably get more use out of a Jumbo.. My first Chanel was m/l and i only use it occasionally as its way too small. I'm also 160cm tall and recently bought a Maxi but don't find it disproportionately huge on me. So I suppose Jumbo shld look fine on you at the same time, give you much more room :) go for jumbo! =D
 
Medium actually doesn't hold a lot. I thought it would be adequate but maybe my wallet is too thick in size and it seems to have taken much space already after I've put it in. I can only put my wallet, phone inside... for the cosmetics, I need to place them into a smaller pouch as my usual cosmetic pouch can't really squeeze inside.

Jumbo will be more practical for everyday use. Also, the sales advisor recommends caviar for Jumbo for versatility.
 
So i have been debating my very first chanel purchase and really want to make the right choice. I dunno what size would be better. Im already reading that with the double flap, there is significant weight added and i would like to use the bag as a day bag and dont want my shoulders hurting. Along those lines, maybe medium would be better, but does it hold a good amount? Im those types that carries everything lol soo yeah, i do tend to like bigger bags.

What do you girls think is your go to classic size for everyday use? I also carry long wallets so prolly wont opt of anything smaller than a medium. TIA! :)
 
I like the jumbo for everyday use. The medium prob will only fit a long wallet since its not a good idea to over stuff the bag. Most girls I see with a medium flap use a small wallet

I think it depends on your size too. If your petite like me I'm 5 feet I carry a medium for everyday. I tried a jumbo on and thought it looked too big on me . Another thing to consider is that by getting a medium it will be good for going out to a dressier event. Since it will be your first chanel it will be more versatile.
