Chanel Classic Flap - Small vs Medium vs Large sizes

[Mrs Darling]

Jumbo looks good on you.

So I am over the moon about my new m/l so black, as I think the design is SO stunning. I had originally been looking for either medium or jumbo but they were sold out everywhere, and when I finally found a medium I scooped it up. Fast forward a week, and my SA tells me he has a jumbo so black...

I love the size of the medium, but I hardly have enough room in it for anything other than my wallet, keys, and phone. In truth, I don't really need to carry much other than that, but I can't help but think the jumbo is more practical.

I included a picture of what both look like on me from the side. What are you guys's opinions? Do you guys prefer jumbo or m/l? Thanks ladies!

I know what you mean. I too truth be told carry very little so I'm drawn to small Chanels and bags but I think the jumbo is the way to go 1. you LOVE that SO a lot so it's getting more of it 2. Jumbo looks slightly better on you. Those thicker chain straps are so good and they alone somehow make a difference 3. You can get a small Chanel down the road (or different brand that's smaller). I find the bag that I LOVE most I get in a bigger size ie. my red jumbo. It originally was an ML.

Good luck deciding because to be honest you can't really go wrong and its a great dilema to be fortunate enough to have.

ps. Edited to add: I noticed that you have Wocs and a medium boy in your collection so I say definitely go with jumbo.

I'm usually a ml gal but I agree that the jumbo looks fabulous on you.

Jumbo!!!

You can't go wrong with either. If m/l does NOT have a big enough capacity for you, go for jumbo! Both look awesome on you.

I find jumbo looks better on you in the pic. Which one do you prefer?

 

[aquafina]

Jumbo suits you more and it is so much bigger than the m/l

 

[JustLuvLeather]

Yep, the jumbo definitely looks better!

Both look fabulous! I am normally a jumbo girl and prob would of bought an jumbo in this bag instead of an m/l, but I own so many jumbos that I wanted a change. I have actually been loving the lightness and ease of the m/l lately, even though it does not fit that much. I think you should do what your gut is telling you and I think that is jumbo! I love the oversize look of the jumbo. It is very chic. I also think, because you own a boy and some WOCs, that changing it up a little would be nice. HTH

Kind of surprised what a huge difference there is between the jumbo and ML. I like both but go with your gut and think hard about which is more practical for you.

I can't see your attachment but i love this bag in jumbo!

Thank you so much my lovely ladies! I'm gonna do the jumbo. You guys are the best, thanks for the input!

If you need more room - go for the jumbo. I've tired the so black jumbo on, it's actually pretty light comparing to the caviar quilted jumbo. And it's nice. Its a pain not having enough room in your bag - trust me, I had to buy smaller SLGs to make my m/l function properly.
