i am bumping my thread after 15 days for an exciting update...

thanks vagabag, sndypchez and musicscrip for your posts. although i did not respond, i did weigh in your thoughts in my decision.

after getting the article number from fellow TPFer Kayzee who just scored an M/L caviar CF recently, i just decided to give my boutique a call today. i was told that there are no M/L caviar CFs available but there is one Jumbo. although in my heart, i knew i wanted an M/L, i thought it does not hurt to just go to the boutique and take a look at it since i have never seen a Jumbo IRL. i just told myself that if this Jumbo speaks to me "buy me" then i would know it is the right decision.

i was sooo nervous and my heart was racing fast...i could not concentrate at work anymore after hearing the news. all i wanted was to go to Chanel :) i know myself, i was afraid that i would just buy the Jumbo coz it was there. i sometimes settle. i even was mentally trying to convince myself that a Jumbo would be fine. i made a cutout of the size of the Jumbo just to see if it would suit me...but i knew that if something was for me then it would happen.

anyway, when i got to the boutique, i was told that the Jumbo is gone and there is no other CF anymore. i was sad but then i was beaming with joy after my SA showed me this....

i took this baby home. she is mine and i can't believe my luck!

after seeing her, i knew instantly that M/L is the perfect size for me. i would just have to learn to downsize with the stuff i take around with me...and after seeing Kayzee's and Chi Town Chanel's 13B, i fell in love with this color...but i was telling myself to begin with a black CF and get the red later but when my SA showed me this in M/L i just knew it was meant to be. i am so happy!

thank you Joyce Lim! i am so in love with this red. i would have never considered it if it were not for the beautiful posts of fellow TPFers who got this bag too. i think every woman needs a red bag :smile1: i am looking forward to the search for an M/L black caviar GHW just like yours :smile1:

I'm 5'4" and have both sizes. When I first tried on the jumbo I thought it looked big on me but then I shortened the straps (just tie a knot inside with a ribbon or hair tie) and it looked much better.

The main thing to consider is functionality since the design is virtually identical. If you need this for everyday and must fit more items than the M/L can hold, then get the jumbo. If you can fit everything you need for everyday in a M/L, then get the M/L.

Gorgeous red caviar Chanel M/L bag! Congrats on your first Chanel! May this be the start of a long and lovely Chanel collection; I'm sure your black M/L will be with you sooner than you think! :)
