Ok so something new has come up! I have the opportunity to buy an Hermes Birkin for a very good price. If I do it means I wont be able to get a colored flap for a while
But I so do want one as well (greedy !!). The options are to let go of the Birkin and get the colored flap ... or get Birkin and put colored CF on hold.... OR Sell the Chanel Black Medium and get both the Birkin and Colored flap!! What do you think?? So confused!
In the same situation, I was thinking of selling my black jumbo, for an excellent price, in order to purchase a more fancy flap. We might use the black but agree it doesn't exactly set hearts aflutter. However, the prices now are STUPID. I wouldn't repurchase if I were to sell. So I've decided to hold on to it for a while longer, there will always be a buyer. Also, coloured flaps are beautiful, but I rarely use mine. With regards to Birkin v Flap, what have you been wanting the most? Don't get distracted by a good Birkin price if thats the case, don't feel pressure to buy. I was feeling indecisive as you seem to be, I've personally decided to take a step back and not buy or sell until I am certain.Ok so something new has come up!

Hi,
im quite torn between Chanel flap small and medium/large. Though they are about the same size (about 1 inch difference) but when I carried them, they feel quite difference to me.
I'm just wondering, which size will you guys recommend?
Thanks!

Hello everland717,
I own the small cf in the caviar leather with the silver hardware. I am 5'3" and around 119lbs. I too had tried on the M/L in the store before getting the small via BG because no one had it available to try on at any locations in N.Y.C. I found the M/L a little too large on my particular body frame. If I were to do it all over again I would have simply purchased more rectangular minis as they both fit about the same items and the mini is $1742 usd less after taxes.
If you are looking for a classic flap then the M/L is worth the extra $200 plus taxes in my opinion.

I am 5'2" and 114 pounds and I like the look of the mini, the small, and the M/L on my frame. The mini is significantly cheaper if you want to consider that. I think the M/L is the quintessential Chanel bag. IMO it's the perfect size for everyday, but I don't carry that many items now that my four children are teenagers.
I think if price is a concern, get the Mini. If price doesn't matter and you like the M/L on you, I vote for that over the CF in small. It's possible you could get both M/L and Mini eventually because they are different looks but small would be too redundant to get both small and M/L.
Hope this helps!

I have a m/l & i'm 5'3. I think it looks a little too big on me when I wear it but in pictures it looks fine. However, it fits a lot more than the small. For example, i can't fit my 6 key holder & my chanel flap cardholder standing up but i can certainly do so with my m/l. since those 2 are my essentials & i need to fit a few more items, i went with the m/l. Plus, hubby insisted that i get the m/l instead. He said the m/l looks better on me.
I'm 5 feet tall, 116 lbs and I find the Jumbo to be just fine with my frame...The M/L (in my opinion) is a small bag for me but it can totally work with my body and a specific occasion that I need it for.
It's all about perception. I'm used to carrying big bags so if you're a small bag person then buy the bag that you are comfortable wearing.
