original one is medium...i have medium in black too...contemplating to sell it away to get jumbo instead...but medium size looks great on me while jumbo a little too overwhelming...oh well...tough call!!!

Hi All,

I have a similar problem. My husband gave me a glorious red classic flap for Christmas (that's not the problem!). I thought it was a jumbo but thanks to the Chanel Reference Library I now know it's a Maxi. It is really large. I have a white medium (too small for me) and a black jumbo (just right); am considering trying to exchange the red Maxi for a red Jumbo if possible but not sure. Does anyone have modeling photos with a Maxi and/or a Jumbo?

imee, I think the Jumbo would look best on you. I definitely love both sizes but Jumbos are just more practical as everyday bags(at least for me anyway)! Do you carry a lot of things(phone, camera, sunglasses case, planner, keys, make up bag)?

I'm 5'3", 95lbs and I love sporting the Jumbo....I don't find it overwhelming..heck...it's a Chanel! You want it to be "out there, noticeable in all of its beautiful glory" so JUMBO JUMBO JUMBO: :cheers::

Here's pics of me carrying a M/L(tweed one) versus a Jumbo(violet lambskin one)

I am absolutely desperate for a Jumbo Classic Flap in Caviar with Silver Hardware but EVERYWHERE in London is sold out and nobody seems to be getting them back in stock. I have asked several SAs to call me when they get deliveries to let me know if any arrived but I haven't heard anything back and every time I call they say they don't have any! I bought a M/L but had to return it as it was too small. How long do they take to come into stock does anybody know? Im carrying around a credit note worth £1660 so Im dying to spend it!! :(

I have been there...

and for me my decision relied on flexibility.

for a 400 difference between m and Jumbo, I will have the flexibility of using the bag more. For a M/L, it is just too small. Yes, I can get by with carrying less - small wallet, cell, keys and shades. BUT I want the option to carry more too... perhaps a beauty kit, or small umbrella even. Jumbo allows for me to carry less or more. the size is not that large anyway so I think I can get away with using it for Evening wear too.

Me - I have decided for the Jumbo instead of M/L

HTH
