I think it's because the small has shorter height than the medium, so it looks like the small has slightly longer chain than the medium, but actually both look like have the same length measured from the top of the strap to the bottom of the bag.
Hello ladies! I’m planning to purchase my first lambskin bag this spring in Europe, but I’m stuck deciding which size to get!
I already have:
1. Black medium classic flap in caviar with GHW
2. Beige clair classic flap jumbo in caviar with GHW
I just want my first lambskin to be in black with GHW, but not sure which size I should go for.. small or medium.
For the medium size, I truly feel like the lambskin in this size is the ultimate classic Chanel bag, but I already have a black medium in caviar with gold and it’ll be two of the same thing.. too identical?
For the small size, I’m afraid it can’t fit as much as the medium and I already feel that the medium doesn’t fit much already... down side for small is that it’s smaller/can’t fit much. But it’ll be less identical to what I currently have.
Lastly, I only want lambskin in medium or smaller sizes. Thanks in advance!

Sounds like you should get a small since you don’t have one and imo not really any point owning both black caviar and lambskin ml with ghw- maybe add something different to your collection, and lambskin with gold would be nice in the small size
As you already have a classic medium, why don’t you go for something a bit different like the Trendy CC?
I like the small size, but it’s just that I only have full size wallets. My wallet already take up most of the space in my medium... I’m definitely open to the square mini. It’s also on my wishlist.

I’m open to the trendy! It’s also on my wishlist, but I feel like the classic flaps go up in price every year, I just feel like I should get them before their prices go up even higher.
Ahhh I see!! I think a square mini would be a nice addition. Size down to a card holder ! HahaI like the small size, but it’s just that I only have a full size wallets. My wallet already take up most of the space in my medium... I’m definitely open to the square mini. It’s also on my wishlist.
Thank you! I’m leaning towards the small! Yes, I do think the small size look super cute. I just need to swap out my full sized wallet for a smaller one and learn to bring just the essentials.
Time for some slg!!! Card holder or small wallet, I have the small boy love it

I know what you mean. I was the same. I couldn’t decide between the two and I got the Trendy as they didn’t have any classics in stock right before the price increase. I ended up returning it and buying a classic instead, but about a week later I couldn’t resist and repurchased the Trendy!
I can see why you ended up getting the trendy! It has so many compartments and the option to carry it by the handle. So many beautiful styles to choose from. I wish I could have them all haha
I'm waiting for the white medium and white small to come in, but I'm a little torn between the two sizes.. Here's my small so black and the medium white on. What size do you think looks better on?
Don't know if the medium looks too wide?

I think they both look great — don’t think you can go wrong with either size, depends on how much you carry and what you intend to use the bag for.
