Chanel Classic Flap - Small vs Medium vs Large sizes

[darkchoc5372]

i use my s/m classic more on regular basis and luvvvvvvvvv it so much, it's pretty functional and not too heavy and very versatile....
mine = silver chain with black caviar
if u find red = go for it, good color doesn't come often.

The medium is by far the most suitable for a lot of people. The jumbo on the other hand is really nice, but depends how you wear, for example, in that picture you originally posted, the jumbo looked kinda bad on the Olsen girl.

Jumbo gets my vote. I think these bags are too expensive to find out later that the bag is too small. If you get the Jumbo you can carry a lot or a little your choice if you get the medium you can only carry a little. Also the medium does not allow for you to wear the bag across your body, the jumbo will allow you more options all around.

Does anyone have any "modeling pictures" featuring you wearing your M/L classic flap? I tried searching through different threads for such pictures, but I am mostly coming up with pics of just the bag itself or the bag compared to other sizes in the classic flap.

I am rather tall, 5'8" and I really would like to purchase a M/L flap, however I am worried that it might be too small. I am not really concerned with fitting a lot of stuff in it, as I do not carry much and I already own the Cerf Tote which I would most likely use if I needed to bring a lot of things with me. I am drawn to the M/L as opposed to the jumbo because I think for my style it is a bit more classic and understated. I also like the fact that it is a little more dressy.

Any comments or pictures would be great, thanks for your help!!!

I'd pick the red medium/large caviar flap with SHW altho the GHW looks great on the red . If black then definitely SHW, GL deciding!

Thanks for your input. I would most certainly get the black caviar with SHW. I love the red too, but I am not sure it is as versatile with my wardrobe.

may i ask if any of these 2 bags, the chain can wear across body like the woc??

Love the medium size!

I personally think that a m/l size looks more classic and femine while a jumbo looks more chic/fashionable and casual. So, it totally depends on your wardrobe and style.

Should I purchase my next Chanel... Jumbo Classic?

I've recentlyl caught another Chanel fever and suddenly wanted to have another Chanel


Hubby purchased my first Chanel in 2008 Reissue when he was in Hawaii in size 226 or 227 (not sure...) maybe someone can help me? (Photos attached! Two of my babies next to each other...)


Anyways we recently purchased a Medium Classic Lambskin in ghw for my bday and it's perfect for a night out but I want something more for everyday use... this bag is precious to me and it is 19 yrs old! (Purchased from ebay)


Then I came across the Jumbo Caviar Black classic since it is easier to take care of but I'm worried that it's too big. It looks good on LC & Nicole Richie though... help?


I'm 5'8 and my Reissue looks already big for me...


Any advice? help?!

im in the same dilemma...i guess it depends on how much stuff u put in a bag...i have a lambskin but want a caviar for everyday use..i dun think a jumbo would be too big for u but a medium is nice too..so i dun even know...im personally leaning more towards medium because im waiting for my dream jumbo bag lol

The jumbo is a bit smaller than reissue if I am not mistaken.

According to your height, jumbo caviar would be perfect.

Am 5'2 and purchased black jumbo caviar for daily use, and on waiting list for beige jumbo caviar as well.

Ohmygosh yeah it is so hard to decide... and I don't know if I should go for black again. I already have two black Chanels

Oh is it? I wasn't sure if my reissue was a 226 or 227... I assumed that 227 is the Jumbo size is that correct?


My friend has the Jumbo Classic in Red and she loves it and she's also 5'2... Is it hard to locate jumbo classics now? I heard it's all gone due to the price increase...

Height wise, the jumbo is taller, but depth wise, the 227 is bigger. Depending on how you use it, the jumbo is more roomy because it contains one big compartment and a zipper pocket. The 227, on the other hand contains multiple compartments and an annoying flap, making it less practical. I prefer the 227 over the jumbo though because of multiple compartments for easy organization of my things. Yours look like a 227, and if you already have one, you may as well go for a jumbo.
