I like jumbo/227 reissue size for space but i like the look of a medium (so elegant!). a medium can only fit a LV zippy long wallet, not even space for iphone/keys without stretching the purse.

Thanks for the responses girls. You gals are always soooo helpful 
I usually carry a long wallet, small makeup bag, keys and phone. I tried the medium but didnt try to put things inside. I should do that today
. Thanks for the tip!

Personally I prefer m/l because it fits all my stuff and I have a small frame. Jumbo looks so big and sqaure on me. But if you have a lot to carry and like the jumbo look, you should get the jumbo as many PFers here
I think if you say you tend to carry big bags, the M/L might be too small for you, because that's the same case with me, I love big bags and when I got the M/L, it felt so small on me, and I'm only 5'3". Also, the M/L will only fit my smallest long wallet, I also tend to have big wallets... I have a black jumbo and I love it! the size is just perfect, although sometimes I have to play a little tetris game with it to fit everything I'd like to bring... And because of the double flap, it'll even smaller than the single flap jumbo... so my vote for you is the jumbo! goodluck on your choice! =D

You definitely need jumbo. M/L cannot fit your makeup pouch.
hi op..
for your question, i suggest you get a jumbo, as it does fit more.
however, you brought up the shoulder issue. And unless your jumbo is a single flap, it will be rather heavy on the shoulder. Esp for everyday use.
If you are looking for an everyday bag, and to stuff everything in, go for the Chanel GST.
The chain handle also comes with a leather pad, great for the shoulder. This bag is made for every day use.
If you are buying the jumbo, it is a beautiful bag, and a timeless buy but frankly speaking, you will not use this bag everyday because it will be quite a pressure on the shoulder.
You will see what i mean when you have the bag.
Good luck deciding ^^

Thank you for the wonderful advice ladies! I am still torn but am hoping to find a jumbo to try out. I am 5'4" so dunno if it will overwhelm me. Aw you girls are just so freaking awesome and helpful. Love yas! I will definitely do a reveal when I get my new baby.
Both . A guy SA told me ML was perfect and jumbo looked to big. A Lady SL told me jumbo is better on. So I'm confused as you. Jumbo does look big ESP on a petite frame and it hits my hips. I kinda like the feel of being able to clutch it higher. It is VERY heavy and that's the only thing I hate about it esp when you load it with your stuff. But I had the same issue with my other bags.

But I had the same issue with my other bags.I just ordered my first Chanel as well, I tried both and I ordered the jumbo caviar SHW. I'm not planning to wear my jumbo crossbody, I'll use it only on shoulder with single or double strap, it looks very nice and make any outfit look elegant. The medium doesn't hold much, only can put wallet and phone in it, there is no room for keys and makeup at all, and jumbo is only $500 more... And it can be use day work or shopping or night at nice diner, I'm not plan to use it at club even with medium, so why not get jumbo? It just look good and useful to me.
Get it before June the price increase! Good luck and let us know which one you finally buy!
