Have thought of a woc for formal functions? I've worn mine to them, then for less formal but nice still I wear my m/l with Ghw

I haven't thought of a woc actually until this thread. But the flap just seems to me the epitome of style, and right now that's the only purse I can spend $$ on. Definitely will look into the woc in the future though. Thanks for the idea!

How about wallet on a chain (more suitable for formal events.) Otherwise I would go with a medium one (just in case you would like to carry it more often - it has more space than a small one.)

Hi there, I initially bought the small flap but returned it for the m/l instead as it just seemed to look more classic and also was much more practical. I definitely don't have any regrets. For reference I'm 5ft tall and a US size 2.

Good luck x

I agree with you! I have my name in a waiting list for a m/l.its a nice option that you can wear it formal or casual for everyday. What color do you have?? Can you post a pic? I love the jumbo but when I tried it at the Chanel boutique it looked way too big on me:))

Another vote for m/l. For me, m/l is still small enough for special events, but still roomy enough for all my essentials, ie. lipstick, phone, key...the small one is nice, but to me, it seems a little 'square' if you know what I mean. Plus, m/l is a classic, you can't beat that. GL deciding.

you are the same body size as me and i think the m/l is a better fit. i only use it for special occasions...and it barely.fits my essentials...but then again i do not like my bag to be overstuffed. just my eyeglass case, wallet, phone, and keys.

I think I have read almost all threads with a similar question but I still feel I need your opinions please.

I am new to Chanel and I only got a black GST in caviar and GHW. I use it for work like twice a week since I had it and I love it so much. I have decided I like caviar and GHW. This is for sure.

I want to cover the basics first and buy a classic flap and a reissue this year. I can't buy both at the same time but my goal is to get both this year :) I am sure that I want the classic flap first in caviar and GHW. I swear that I was dead sure about wanting it in medium coz I have a GST to cover everyday and for times when I want to carry more but then I saw the medium IRL in SHW yesterday and found it too small. I don't want to limit the use only for the evening though since I want to make the most out of it :) I have a casual to smart casual style. I don't always go out at night to chic evening functions. when i party, i take a non-expensive bag for fear of getting it ruined. i am torn between the medium and the jumbo classic flap.

i am 5'3 and around 120 lbs.

What do you guys think?
