I got the Jumbo beige clair GHW flap last week and
I love it! The size is perfect for everyday...I can fit everything I need. IMO M/L is wayy too small but it's personal preference.

it really depends on what size you like. i happen to like m/l more than jumbos, but i understand jumbos can be more practical for some ppl. do you carry a lot with you when you go out? do you find your m/l too small? if so, then you should get the jumbo. but if you don't think the m/l is too small, you should choose the one that looks best on you.

I tried both and find that M/L is quite feminine and cute... i find it
very dainty and classy...

However for the things that I can put onto the bag... I decided to go for Jumbo. If using it for night out or formal dinner is the issue... this is easy for me since I RARELY (close to NEVER) do this anyway... and if ever I have to.. I think I would get me a RED VERNIS LV under 1000 instead of investing 2600 in chanel! My 2c...

I think everyone needs both, but if i had to choose i think m/l. I don't think jumbo is good for "everyday". I only use mine for daytime dressy events, which is not often.. on the other hand I use my m/l for going out ,weddings, etc which is much more common

Quick question: I haven't had time to stop at Chanel yet to try the bags on. I don't carry much in my bags (wallet, phone, tissue, keys) - would a M/L be too small or should I go with the Jumbo? I am almost 5'8 and a size 0/2. I am looking for something to carry on my evenings out but only have the budget for one bag.. :( Thanks so much!!!

The size really depends on what you are planning to use it for and how much you carry around with you? My first was a medium flap as I felt the jumbo looked too big on me. Now I have a jumbo and love it because it holds so much more!!!!
As for the colour, black is always classic but red is hard to find. So these two get my vote.
Let us know what you get!!!

Have you tried them on for size?
For a classic bag the jumbo was too big for me. The medium was perfect and looked more "classic" compared to the jumbo.
My dream bag is the jumbo red in lambskin.
My classic bag is black med cav with g/h (I've always thought g/h to be classier.)

Yes, love the jumbo in red lambskin or maybe even red caviar (haven't seen that one), but I say large in black. That's the classic chanel look. It has the second flap inside. If you're going to get a classic bag, get it the way it became a classic! But if you're going to get a variation, I think the red jumbo or the beige caviar maxi are both beautiful! :yahoo:

I bought the jumbo because I thought that it would be more bang-for-the-buck since I can carry more; however, the jumbo can get really heavy sometimes and it's not very convenient to wear during shopping trips or travelling so I don't tend to use it a lot. Now I'm thinking of getting a M/L flap to use for the evening, casual wear, etc. With that being said, I would still buy the jumbo if you ask me again, I just have to add in a M/L flap as well to my collection.

medium. it's the most proportionate of all the sizes!

and it's perfect as a day bag as well carried single strapped. i love it although it doesn't carry much but i don't have much to carry anyway.

I think the size you buy will depend on your plans for the bag. The jumbo would be a better day bag and the medium would be a better evening bag. IMO, the medium doesnt hold much at all. I can get a wallet, cell phone and a small camera in mine and that's about as much as it will comfortably hold. So if you tend to carry a lot of things in your bags, you may want to go for the jumbo.

Everytime I see a red flap, my heart skips a beat. Red all the way.
