Chanel Classic Flap - Small vs Medium vs Large sizes

I'm saving towards my first Chanel Classic Flap. I'm pretty sure I'd be getting Jumbo. I have the frame to pull off bigger bags (5'8.5" and not exactly skinny if you know I mean) and I am looking for an everyday bag since I rarely go out. But what do you guys think about a Jumbo as a party bag? Is it okay for let's say graduation parties, weddings etc.? I don't want to spend a fortune on a bag that I couldn't use every day (M/L) but then again I want a bag that is okay for many occasions.

I'm 20 years old if that makes any difference :D
 
I would normally say the medium, but I think the jumbo is more functional and handy when you suddenly realise that you need to put in extra stuff...it's not as scary as the name 'jumbo' sounds! so another vote for jumbo!
 
I think the jumbo vs. m/l debate really depends on what you intend to use the bag for and your height/body type. I just bought the jumbo in black caviar. Since I am about 5'9" it is the perfect size for me. Plus, I wanted it for an every day bag. I don't carry a lot of stuff, but I would not be able to fit all of my things in a M/L so it is very practical. If I wanted to get a bag for dressy/evening occasions, I would probably go with the m/l...possibly in lambskin as opposed to caviar. Both bags are stunning, it is just a personal choice.
 
Does anyone have modelling pics comparing the small classic flap to the medium?? Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I surprisingly found nothing when I did a search!

I hope you are not having a hard time deciding because small classic are rare-so far I've only had one sighting in Montreal Canada Chanel boutique and it was in the range of 2600 canadian dollars, blk caviar GHW-adorable, but be aware that they don't take returns(exchange ok I believe) and they don't ship outside canada-that's what my sister was told when she was there.

small are about 1 inch smaller than mediums, but I agree with you that comparing pictures would be ideal.
 
Hi
I am thinking about getting medium flap on ebay but I found very good condition of small flap too. does anyone has two flap on one picture? I want to compare the size of the bags.
it is lambskin and black and gold hardware.

would you rather get the bag without box or without authenticate card?
