Jumbo might look abit big for u since you are small frame. I suggest you get M/l and get those cardholder etc to replace wallet, should have enough space if you can store your items properly. Maybe can take a look at what's in your bag thread or youtube videos to see how people store things in their m/l?

I'm also 5'1 with a small frame and am looking for a jumbo flap to use day to day. I have the m/l in black caviar with GHW and it just doesn't fit my daily essentials (great for an evening out tho!) So i totally understand your pain :p I'm searching for a single flap jumbo instead of the double flap because many TPF members say its lighter.

Thanks for your suggestion :) im only able to get one chanel so far and is my 1st ever chanel.. so im really debating on the size. As i need it to use as a daily bag but im still hope can carry it during night dinner event. Will jumbo look huge if we dress up for dinner event?
 
I have both. Bought the jumbo first and recently got the medium because I realized medium is prefect if I use a card holder as a wallet. I can fit my daily essentials and still have some extra room. I'm 5'3 and small framed and it gets tiring carrying a jumbo all day long, mine is never even full all the way. Completely in love with the medium tho!

Thanks so much for your reply.. i think the medium is in my mind now ") im definitely will go for ghw.. just depend on wat color available during the time im travel to paris.
 
I have few jumbos and few m/l. I sometimes hate how I have to reorganize to fit things into m/l. I also hate jumbos now cuz chain length is tad too long. I should venture out to lambskin maxi now lol. I tried a maxi and jumbo in both lambskin and felt weight seems to be the same, maybe because maxi has shorter chain so why not cave into bigger space. Other times I feel I should get rid of all my flaps lol. Sorry not much of a help here.

Your first bag should be the one you will actually use. I made the mistake of getting a m/l and never used it because it was just too small. I finally bought the same bag (black caviar ghw) in a Maxi. Now I have a bag that fits my life style. You can always get an evening bag. When I finally splurged for an expensive evening bag I found I used it once a year. Now I just share it with my girlfriends so it can go out more often. Buy what you love and will use. :smile1:
 
Jumbo is perfect. I have 2 and use them a lot ❤️ the compartment is enough to fit an Ipad, coin purse, phonr and lipstick, headphone.
I ussually leave my wallet out bc I dont want to ruin the bag's shape
 
Jumbo for me. The m/l I found simply too small to justify the big price tag. It was just not a useful enough bag for the money. I could not even fit my purse in it without stretching the frame somewhat.

Will u found that the bag is very heavy when the bag is full packed? I'm just worried it will too heavy and i will stop using it since this is an expensive price
 
Can I ask some opinion? Currently I having this medium but some time feel it is too small and I can't put much thing in the bag, so now I'm thinking to chg my this medium to jumbo (chg mean sell my medium and get jumbo) here some photos for u all to see the differences and comparison.. Which is more suitable for my frame size.? View attachment 2935303View attachment 2935304
I would keep the medium for evening, such a classic look. Jumbo for day. Dont sell, the prices keep going up.
