i got the jumbol, but then thought i made a mistake so then bought the med too. ( thought it was more classic chanel look) But I haven't even used the medium. Love jumbo!I've used it both day and dressy night.
 
JUMBO- everyday sorta bag
MEDIUM- special occasion sort of bag

If you are a bit skinny- MEDIUM
If you are a bit Overweight- JUMBO
haha thats pretty much what i think..
 
Just came back from Paris and gotton my Medium and Jumbo. Actually wanted to get only 1 but cos time was toght (as usual with tour), I quickly grab 2 and decide later...looking at the 2 in front of me, havent decided which to keep and which to sell...dilema
 
I'm 150cm (4'9') and 45kg (99 pounds). Will the Jumbo look overwhelming on my frame? Is anyone of a similar height/weight?

I'm planning to lose 5kg in the next few weeks so I'm not sure if it will look too big.

ummmm you're 4"9', 99 lbs and still trying to lose 11lbs?? :hrmm:

well i'm 5'1" and 105lbs and the jumbo looks ok on me.... best thing to do is try it on in the store and maybe take a photo so you can see...

enjoy!!! :yahoo:
 
I think it's a matter of personal preference & functionality. If you tend to carry a lot with you, then a jumbo would make the most sense. If you're more of a minimalist and would prefer a bag that transitions seamlessly between day & night, then a m/l would be best.

I, personally, prefer the m/l as I find the size best suits my frame and is functionally what works for me as I tend to carry very little on a daily basis. For reference, I am 5'2" and 112 lbs.
 
hi..

this is the first time posting on this site, although i am one of those people who visit daily, read but rarely ever posts...

my friend is currently in paris and i recently learned about how much cheaper it is to purchase a Chanel bag in paris.. i don't own any Chanel bags. i have never gone to the store, to check out the bags but i have seen many classic flaps on people etc, so i have fallen in love with them. my friend is willing to pick up the bag for me.. but i just need some help and advice as this is the most expensive bag i am going to purchase and it wont be me, making the purchase. :nuts:

im trying to decide if i should get a M/L or a Jumbo... i am 5'2 and approx 120lbs.. i carry lots of stuff, so i was leaning toward the jumbo in black..

what i would like to know is what is the difference between lambskin and caviar and what your past experiences have been with these 2 types.

and also can the m/l be worn with one strap as well? and can the jumbo be worn as one strap? i want to wear it mostly as one strap.. its for everyday wear...

please help! i have about 10 days to decide if i want to get a bag or not,my friend leaves paris in 10 days!

thanks in advance!!!! :smile1:
 
I'm 5'2 as well but I ended up buying the medium/large, cause with our height, you can use is with one strap, it's a day and night bag. But when you said you carry a lot of stuff, jumbo might work for you, but will not be that great in one strap. It is still up to you. How is your style and will you carry the bag. And regarding the lambskin and caviar, if you buy the small one , it's nice in lambskin, but if you are going for the jumbo, go for caviar. Lambskin needs double care than the caviar,
 
how much can you carry in the m/l? i usually carry my long wallet, phone, cigs, lipstick...

jumbo can only be carried with two straps? the reason you say the jumbo may not work for me because the one strap will be way too long?

i usually wear jeans and flats.. very casual, sometimes tights etc..

is it true, lambskin is easier to scratch then caviar?

i must admit i am pretty careless when it comes to my bags, so i probably would want to get caviar?
