Chanel Classic Flap - Small vs Medium vs Large sizes

[Eruamme]

I love the small on you! But I am biased towards smaller sizes. I think if you plan on wearing it crossbody a lot, go with the small. I personally feel that the small looks better crossbody. Also love the red & gold! I wanted the same color combo in 2014!

I like the white one shoulder, red crossbody. I guess that's okay because you are considering keeping both

Exactly what I am thinking!

Old medium. Small is ridiculously small and way too much $$$ for what you get. It doesn't even hold as much a mini.

I've always wondered about the price discrepancies between a small a medium bag. It is so confusing to me that it is not incrementally equal but a bigger bag has way better pricing.

Gorgeous bags! I think the small one is a better proportion. The old medium looks better on you when worn on the shoulder.

The small size definitely !!!

Both look good on you. I like the old medium a little better, but red is definitely cuter!

Hello,

I cannot decide between this 2 sizes. It doesnt matter to if small or old medium holds more stuffs, it only matters which one look better on a 5ft 3 frame.

Any opinion is appreciated! Thank you,

If you will be wearing it crossbody or single strap on your shoulder then the small. If you are going to wear it doubled up on your shoulder then the old medium.

I am petite like you and just love my old medium size - it's perfect!

In the first picture it doesn't look as proportional as the small size but I know the bag doesn't sit in that position when being worn (just modelled!)

You can't lose either way they are both beautiful

Both look great on you but I prefer the old medium vs small

It was my real dilemma for my first classic!


For everyday bag - jumbo, I found the m/l too small. Although my ideas of having Chanel is kind of elegant bag so the big size of the jumbo is kind of defeat the purpose. But since the m/l wouldn't fit my sunnies case, I went with Jumbo


I'd, however, get a m/l in lambskin for evening bag. Too gorgeous!!!

I have the Jumbo what also wanted a smaller lightweight bag for days I don't want to carry much. Tried on the medium/large today but it is way to small for me. I can fit more small items in my LV Eva Clutch. World of difference btw Jumbo and medium/large.

Wow. Glad I purchased a Jumbo. I have been lusting after a mini after watching you tube videos all day on Sunday. Just another reason to purchase another SLG.

i prefer the look of the m/l (how it hangs against my body) but the jumbo single flap is really more versatile in terms of how much it can carry. I personally would not buy the jumbo double flap as i find it too heavy to wear for an extended period of time.

+1

Jumbo is more practical as it fits a lot more.m/l to me is more of an evening bag but the price doesn't justify how much use one would get out of it.

I personally would prefer jumbo even though the m/l looks better on me.

The drop strap of the m/l is just too short to be worn crossbody. I would totally go for the m/l if the straps were longer.

The med/lg is very small and part of the problem is the second flap. I do not carry much and loaded up a small zippy wallet, a small o case with lip gloss and misc small items, my 6 plus phone, car fob and tiny reading glasses and it was jammed. It fit, but once I tried it on, it felt bulky against my side. I wanted to buy a cute med flap but the size of this bag and the short strap nagged at me.

This is part of the reason I buy seasonals-the med/lg is very small and not useable on a daily basis, and the jumbo is very heavy. The seasonals have nice sizing etc.

This is also why the Reissues are popular-they fit more and are lighter.
