Before my maxi I carried a daily jumbo. It didn't feel heavy, now I have my laptop in my Maxi and it's not heavy. I'm happy I made the switch!
Hi all,
Would like to ask all of your opinions on getting a chanel classic medium flap, is it worth getting one? I have plans to get it but due to high price i am actually considering if it is worth the price? =) A lot of people have been telling me that it is small and i should get a jumbo. But jumbo will looked too big on me and personally, i will only carry 1 wallet, card holder, earpiece, phone(which i will always hand carry it)b. Does it have enough space for me to put these items?

Hi
I don't think you'd be able to fit an umbrella in a medium. You can go to a chanel store and try it out with your 'regular' staff. With a medium, I can fit my phone, small wallet and car key.
I doubt the umbrella will fit. My hubby was deciding between the m/l and jumbo for me and thought it was really small. He had the sa put in a chanel Sunglass case and she really struggled to get it closed.
Jumbo has a lot more space but if it's too big for you, it doesn't matter since you may not use it much. Medium is a tighter fit for sure and if you want to use it as a daily bag, it may not be very practical since you may find that you are constantly having to fit things in like a jigsaw puzzle. Maybe switch to just a card case or a small wallet only. I personally love the reissue. It holds more than a medium classic and it's a great under the radar flap!
I thought that the Jumbo would be too big for me, but the medium was way too small. I use a long wallet. After I put that in, there wasn't any room for me to put in anything else.
I have just bought the M/L and it is quite small inside but I found the Jumbo way too heavy for me. I just cut down on the things I carry but I won't be using it for work just days out
I think the umbrella def won't fit in an M/L with your other stuff... not even if you have a TINY umbrella which I do. But the M/L looks great for petite girls I think. The jumbo is a bit too long to carry single-strapped on the shoulder for me at 5'4. Aesthetics wise I think M/L will win. Practically speaking jumbo wins.
If you don't like the jumbo but you want a Chanel bag that can fit an umbrella I also think looking at the reissue 226 is your best bet (if you are a fan of that look). Though I don't know if a reissue will fit an umbrella either! I agree with going into the store and trying out the bags and seeing which one will fit your stuff if that is a possibility.

I'm 5'8 and I just got the ml. I love it! Giselle carries hers w the other models beautifully. But it depends on how u feel ultimately.
The m/l is very small. A small wallet and phone is going to be about it. Mine lives in its boxes and I went back and bought a Maxi but I have a larger frame. But buy what you love...the first time.
it depends on the size of your umbrella n wallet. I have a mini totes umbrella and I use a Chanel's coin purse with a key chain in lieu of a wallet and independent key chain. I have to par down what I carry and "miniaturize" the size of my essential items. my flap is the Valentine m/l flap which is single flap. Here's how it looks with the mini umbrella and Chanel coin purse in it. I can also fit my phone in it with a little space left for other small items. of course, it gets packed to the brim.
I can also fit my mini totes umbrella and chanel coin purse and phone in my rectangular minI flap with a tiny bit of space left. Again, it's packed to the brim.
What I am saying is that it's not impossible, but you have to "miniaturize" the umbrella and wallet.
