I just sold my jumbo as I thought it looked funny on me since I'm petite. I found myself grabbing my medium flap a lot more. It's also so much lighter and more pleasant to carry around since you can carry on crook of arm or shoulder. I can fit a full size brush, phone, car keys, and sunglasses without the case in the medium flap. I just put my sunglasses in a little soft pouch instead of the bulky case. It can go from day to night also imo.
Wow the medium is really small. Valentines picture was really useful. I almost thought it was a mini. They're now charging over $6000 in Canada if you include the average tax. The double flap really takes up a lot of space doesn't it? The bag doesn't look small from the outside. Please excuse my surprise, I'm pretty new to the lures of chanel

.I think the ml looks better on me but the jumbo is more practical. At the end, I went for the look and have a GST as my work tote. I am able to use my ml on the weekend to go shopping, run errands without it being too heavy and am also able to take it to dinners and parties. I am about 5'3-5'4 and 115 lbs for your reference.
Used my M/L for the first time in the rain today. It's caviar, bought it for daily use so it will be rained on a lot.
I have card holder, pack of tissues and can fit sunglasses. It will fit a normal size wallet if you choose instead. The jumbo looked too big on me. I was also trying to lighten how much I carry. I do love it. If you do need more room a reissue works great and isn't as large or heavy as a jumbo.

What size are you? Just go to the boutique and try it out. I was also inclined to purchase M/L but I just can't stand the limited space as I sometimes do use it on weekends with my kids so M/L definitely doesn't suit me. Like all the other girls say, just go to the boutique and try out the various size, enjoy the experience of shopping too =P
You will never know what you really like until you tried it upon yourself.

I bought the m/l because I want to use it as a going out bag as well. The size is perfect! The jumbo probably will look too big if you want to used it as an evening bag.
I'm 5'1" plus heels from 2"1/2-3" in picture from left to right : m/l, Reissue 226 and Jumbo light beige (sometime light color impacts on its size too). I love all size. But if only one bag, I'll pick m/l that why it's my first classic flap because you can wear day n night as clutch.
