Well, my jumbo is like new, but I think it's mostly because I have many bags. I use them equally, so none of them has been through that much wear. And I tend to pick the less delicate ones if I know I might have to put my bag on the floor or something like that. And my jumbo is only like two months old, so it hasn't been through that much yet. I love the look of the lambskin on flaps, so I couldn't choose caviar leather over it. I had to get the one I really love! I've heard that lambskin isn't that delicate after all, but of course you still need to be a bit careful with it. I'm always very careful with my bags, so I wasn't afraid to buy a lambskin flap.

I guess it depends what you're going to use the bag for and your height.
If you carry minimal items in the day time go for the medium as it can double up as a night time bag.
If you're on the taller side, and need the extra space a jumbo would be better and it can also double up as a night time bag due to your height.
I'm only 5.1", therefore if I were to get a jumbo for day time, I personally wouldn't use it at night.

I'm 5.6 height and I would like to use the bag both day/night. Thanks again
I got my first classic in caviar jumbo size - single flap. It doesn't look as bulky as my jumbo double flap.[/QUOTE]
Thanks a lot!Could you explain me the difference between single flap and double flap?I went to Chanel few days ago and I was shown the medium classic but the SA didn't tell me about single or double flap, I tried on just one type.Can you explain?TIA

[/QUOTE]This thread has plenty of information and pictures. I think they're all double flaps now, but I prefer the single in caviar.

I voted for medium as more versatile and being the ultimate classic.
It goes from day to night, whereas jumbo is more for day IMO.
Anyhow, I have to admit that I have both, but I also started with m/l.
But it's also depending on your height and proportions and personal preferences, how much you want to carry...
I wish a size in between both would be available with the CC lock.
Good luck to your decision.
