Its always great to get everything in a purchase.... but IF id HAVE TO Id rather get the bag WITH authentication card! you can always use another box to store it... but having the authentication card.. is important, in my oppinion! Hope that helps!

definately should have the authenticity card. and there's not much difference in size between the small and the medium, maybe an inch in length, and half an inch in height. I'd go for the medium. it's still small enough to use for an evening bag, and decent sized enough to put all the things you need for a day bag.
Hi Op! I am also looking at a small and a medium today. Wonder if we are looking at the same ones?? I was also looking for comparison pics and found this. Pics on Page 2!
http://forum.purseblog.com/chanel/reveal-special-new-bag-with-modeling-pictures-614105-2.html Let me know what you decide. I think the medium seems more than an inch bigger, even though I know it is only an inch. And I know I've thought that the medium didn't seem like it would hold a lot when I've looked in the boutiques. But the small in the modeling pics does still look really pretty. Can't decide!

The medium length is 10 inches and the small length is 9 inches. I prefer to buy with the authenticity card but I have also purchased a bag without the card as well.
Hi all,
I'm ready to get my first Chanel bag but I'm so torn as to which size to go for! Jumbo or the large? I'll be getting it in classic black with gold hardware and would love to hear your opinions regarding size. Will the medium/large flap fit a long wallet, phone, sunglasses, keys and have any additional space left? Is the Jumbo REALLY that much bigger? I have a habit of sometimes stuffing my jackets into my bags when it gets too hot and although I know that the medium/large would not fit this, would the jumbo?
I normally like big bags but I've tried on both at the store and found that the Jumbo seemed to be very boxy. I think it's due to the design. Also I like the fact that the medium/large can be worn with a single strap.
I'm 5'8 and quite slender. If anyone has both bags I'd love to hear from you - and pictures are of course always welcome!!

Hi reality_22! I went through the same thing just a few weeks ago, jumbo vs. M/L. I ended up with a Jumbo because my M/L hardly gets taken out of the dustbag. For a M/L, I have switch to a small wallet so I could fit my keys, phones and maybe a pack of gum in it. The jumbo, however, can fit a LOT more. I know you want to put a jacket in your purse...which I've been able to do with my jumbo (a thin cardigan along with the rest of my stuff). I suggest that you take a look at the "What's in your Chanel bag today?" thread to check out what can fit inside a Jumbo vs. a M/L .
I posted modeling pictures of my new jumbo in this thread...
Good luck with your decision!!!

WE were in the same dilema dor the longest time. I have always thought that jumbo was too big and med was the better size of the two....but now...I pulled the plunge and bought me my first JUMBO! THe size is perfect...I don't even think it is HUGE BAG like I thought it was.
Jumbo....I love it! BLack would br an awesome color!

I have only 2 jumbos, one in black caviar and other is beige clair with ghw.
Compare with 226 reissue, I feel they are too big for me. Thinking to let the beige goes and get m/l beige instead of. Who wants to trade? Must be in brand new because mine is brand new with tag still on

I find the jumbo is too big, the size if more practical, especially when I need to hold more things. And it fits notebooks so you could use it for work/school if you wanted to, though it may be too flashy. The ML is a perfect size for the evening or a day out when you do not need to carry a ton of stuff.
