Congrats and it looks good on you! im agree that m/L looks nice for events and dinner.. i will get easy flap in jumbo size for day use and shopping purpose as it more light weight and looks casual
Haha. This is so true!! The length of the jumbo is only 12". That is the size of a regular bag!
I am tiny and I like Jumbo. M/L is just so limited. For me I can only use it for special occasions. But for special occasions I prefer to carry a clutch which looks more formal.

*SIGH* I never get this. Jumbo's are not big bags, it not like it's some huge tote or something. I don't know why smaller people think they can't wear them. People think everything has to look tiny & "cute"...lol.
Anyway, you look fab with all your options. Go with your needs.
I soooo agree! I'm small and I don't find the jumbo to feel or look big at all! It fits so much more!! I've been carrying my m/l's lately because it's my current mood, but the jumbo size will always be my favorite!
I also prefer to carry my clutch for more formal occasions rather than an m/l etc as well.
My medium in lambskin is my baby, but I definitely prefer the jumbo for daily use. The medium barely fits anything. But the jumbo is awesome for practical reasons! Anyway both look fab to me. It just depends on how often you're gna use it in my opinion. 
I am 160 cm and I find the small size perfect for me, with single or double chain. Small black CF was my first Chanel and Iam very happy with this bag. It is a perfect size IMO for casual or more formal style.
In a bigger size I prefer totes. I find the medium size too big for me as you said. HTH
Hi Alice,
Where and when did you buy your small flap? [emoji4] I am looking for it in Europe [emoji4] TIA [emoji4]
Someone started a thread on small versus m/l flaps which has some opinions and mod shots....

Hi @fiona33. I bought my small CF in Barcelona 3 years ago. I know this size is hard to get . I recently asked for a beige one in this size but they said they did not have stock.. HTH
Thanks for your response [emoji4] I guess I just have to keep looking for the small size or just go for the m/l. The small would be the perfect size for me though [emoji53]
i vote medium. even though you said you're petite, think also of the interior space of the bag and not just how it looks on you from the outside. how much stuff will go inside - that might help you make the decision. i purchased a small last year and ended up returning it; the interior wasn't spacious enough.
Hi ladies! So I already came to you guys before with a similar question and ended up taking the So Black jumbo over the medium, but now the material is different.. 
I have the option of either getting a black medium caviar flap with ruthenium hardware for $3800 or a black jumbo caviar flap with gold hardware for $4500. I really lucked out finding the the two bags at such a great discount - they are both from 2014 and in brand new condition!
Now the question is.. which one should I get?
I already have the So Black jumbo as mentioned, and I do not have a medium at the moment... but I also have a lambskin boy bag in black with ruthenium hardware! Do you think the color scheme makes it way too similar? I just think the flap with the RHW is so beautiful and unique, as it was I believe seasonal? So either way I am going to run into similarities with either purchase. I think now it is more about how much of a deal I am going to get, as I am really in love with both purses and have been dying for a caviar flap.
Any thoughts?
(The jumbo pic I pulled off of google, the medium pic is the actual item I am considering)
