Hey everyone,

So I went into Chanel today with the intention of getting the medium/large classic flap in lambskin with GHW but left with the lambskin jumbo with GHW. I love both of them but I thought for the extra space and the not so large price difference I should go with the Jumbo.

However, now that I'm home, im not sure.... Should I have gone with the medium/large? I'm pretty tall (5'8" or 173cm barefoot) and of average build. I wanted a bag that would be versatile for day and night but is the jumbo too big for nights? I have a new medium lambskin boy with RHW I use day-to-day as a more casual bag and a square mini for dressier events like weddings...

Should I keep it or swap the jumbo for the medium/large?? Help me, I'm so conflicted.

Please excuse the dirty mirrow, this is the only one in this house thats big enough....

I do know that the chain is a little long on me to wear single strap on one shoulder but they ran out of the chain shortening clips at Chanel today so i'll get them when I go in next if I keep it.

On a different note, the chain on this one squeaks so loudly, does this go away??

I think the jumbo looks fabulous on you! And it can certainly be worn at night, but I think the M/L is a bit more versatile in that it works better for more formal events. However, it sounds like you have a square mini for that. And if your new medium boy is now your day-to-day bag, the M/L might not hold enough for that purpose. I think you made the right choice. Congrats on your new Chanel!

Thanks so much for your input. Looking at the pictures it doesnt seem as large a bag as it forst seemed when I bought it home. I do really love it, and i will probably get a medium/large at some point... just maybe not his year, i'm officially on ban island now...

I love the Jumbo size the most and I have m/l and jumbo. The m/l, despite its name, is very small and for many (myself included) not really suitable for day time. Jumbo size is so much more practical and I use mine for nights out, too. Maybe not for super formal events but for any other time it is perfect. It looks great on you and you made a great choice x

You look great with the jumbo and you have the height to carry it off so I don't think its too big. The medium large would be a more versatile bag but it only fits as much as the boy bag so it makes sense to have the jumbo to carry more on the days that you need to.
