Don't let SA influence u too much...

Mine case is similar to you i guess
ps: am 160 cm with 47-48 kg.

I tried small and medium and i found that medium makes me look kinda mature and too formal... (but not as formal as what jumbo would do to me lol)

and when i tried small, it looks great on me :) i can wear both evening dress and when i wear jeans I got contrast look and get a cool look yet it's not too formal but not too casual... the proportion of the 9" suit me really well :) and it doesn't make me look to serious too formal or too mature as 10" does to me. ps: I'm 2 months to turn 34 ....

Don't forget the factor of your figure.... yep medium or 10" size could be very popular, but if it doesn't look the best on you...why bother???

absolutely! so true - one really needs to try it and have an objective view. If the OP has a really really good friend/relative (and they are hard to come by!) who will be honest rather than jealous - take her with you when you try. But ultimately do not allow anyone to influence you - go by what you see in the mirror and what you'd like to look like. I see far to many women in London who look like their bags are carrying them rather than the other way round.:graucho:

darkchoc 5372 - thank you so much for your pic, it has been a great help. at least now i know the stuff that im going to put in will not be an excuse for me to get the medium but when i try them both again - i'm going to stick with the one that suit me best!

ladysarah - yep i definitely know what you mean. i have a jumbo and i feel like it's an oversized bag!

yeah i have jumbo and hardly wear it .... as it looks kinda bigger than me...
I like maxi when it's not on me...but on tall lady....
but when i tried maxi and wanted to buy maxi (just for a sake of having it in my possession) and I found that it doesn't look good on me at all...everyone said it looks like the bag is wearing me...even SA didn't want me to buy it!

Hey,
Im looking at the Chanel Classic Flap in Lambskin black color.
Im only not sure of what size to pick? Is Jumbo too big?
Considering Im not very tall. Im mostly going to use it for my mall trips, or lunches and less for night outs.
So which size is appropriate? Is Jumbo too big for evenings?
Also if it helps I'm 23 yrs old.
Need help... Thanks you all! :)

For classic flaps, I don't have any M/L size but have medium size(226) in reissue. I personally like the casual feeling of caviar leather and for that reason I like jumbo size (with silver hardware) when it comes to the caviar. However, as you are going for the lambskin one, I would recommend M/L with gold hardware because "M/L size-black lambskin leather-gold HW" is the best combination ever made by Chanel. Good luck!

i am planning to buy a classic flap in caviar ghw on my trip on the 25th. i am bit confused whether to get medium or jumbo flap in ghw.. what should i get? i want it to use it from day to night bag.

modeling pictures of both medium and jumbo flap would help me decide.

I'm quite petite at 5'2 and 100 lbs (on my heaviest day!) and the jumbo was huge on my frame! Both my DH and my SA thought so as well. I ended choosing the medium flap and I love it! It fits me perfectly. :smile1:

i'm 5'1" and tried on both sizes. I love that I would be able to fit a lot more stuff into a jumbo, but unfortunately, it just didn't look right on me. so i got the medium. i guess it really depends on how it looks on you.
