For everyday wear, I would probably get the Caviar M/L flap... this is the most classic size and and caviar leather will wear so much better than lamsbskin, so you don't have to worry about scratches.

if u are careless, then u should get caviar, m/l and jumbo both can be single and double chain but the m/l will look much better single chain than jumbo, especially considering ur height.
i usually put my sunglasses, credit card wallet/case, blackberry, chapstick, and some candies in my m/l

jumbo can be carried one strap too. u can adjust the length by using rope.
lambskin is harder to maintain. I just have couple lambskin because I hate it that I worry so much about my bag w hen I carry my lambskin ( worry about my nail will scratch it. I have to be extra careful which drives me crazy) so I prefer caviar. It's more fit for daily use and u don't baby it that much
Medium flap is quite small. Can only fit my bulky long wallet and that's it. Usually, I'll use a coin purse instead when using my medium flap then it can fits other things like keys, hp and tissues pack. I'm hunting for a billfold wallet to fit in my medium flap atm
For daily bag, jumbo is way better. It can fit my bulky long wallet, my DS's psp, wet wipes, tissues pack, keys, hp and a small makeup pouch.
I won't do lamb.....it's too delicate. It'll show scuffing and scratches easily. Caviar is the best. GL

PS: I abhor the double flap in my m/l flap......it's so annoying and cumbersome when taking things in/out of the bag.....
If you have decided on jumbo, act fast as chanel is introducing double flaps in Jumbo and Maxi soon.

thanks for the links and the pics! quite new at this..seems like everyone is voting for a jumbo which is what i was leaning towards... where can i find pics of people wearing there jumbos and m/l flaps with the one strap.. i want to get an idea of how it would look on me..
this is soo frustrating lol.. i want a bag and i want to be able to save approx $1000 but in order to do that, i dont get to see or try on the bag.. help!
ush:
My preference is double flap for the M/L and single flap for the Jumbo... the purse itself is pretty heavy itself for an size from Jumbo and above, so having a double flap will add to the weight... however, someone else mentioned on another thread that a double flap in the Jumbo might give the purse more structrure and maybe not case "wings"... so I guess it is a matter of personal preference!
This is the never ending question 
It really depends on which you prefer. Everyone's purse needs are different, especially when it comes to how much each carries in their purse. I don't carry a lot so M/L is always my first choice (& I think it looks great on every one), but if you carry a lot then you might prefer the Jumbo. You really need to try both on and see which you feel looks best on you. Only you will truly know which you should buy. It's not always best to buy what others suggest, it's got to work for you.
