Thanks for pointing this out about the jumbo being boxy with the double flaps. I only have one flap in my jumbo and it is fine. I always wondered if the double flap was an improvement.

yes, the caviar is much boxier with the double flap. the lambskin is softer leather so it's not as boxy.
however, i did see a double flap caviar that wasn't too boxy, so it definitely varies!

I would love to own a jumbo! i sort of regret for buying a medium one because one of my friends just got hers black caviar jumbo and she wears it to anywhere. starting from work to with social parties, etc.
I would definitely say jumbo....it is far more versatile ( meaning that it can be used everyday as well as for evening)
i like the way you think!
too bad the prices only keep increasing...
I know - it's too bad. A few years ago it wouldn't have broken the bank so much to get both!
i definitely regret not getting on the bandwagon a few years ago... i'm still recovering from my jumbo purchase, not sure when i can add an M/L.
do you have any other chanels?it's a tough call between M/L and Jumbo..look-wise, M/L is better: cute and so classy. BUt jumbo is more functional.When I tried at the Boutique, Jumbo is rather heavy even it's empty....I was thinking that even Jumbo is roomier, I maynot put too much stuff in, coz 1. i don't want it to be too heavy and 2. I don't want it to lose shape.
SO I went for a M/L and be selective on what I put in.
that's just my 2 cents. hth

At the moment I have a M/L lamb, a jumbo lamb, a lamb wallet and a patent brilliant WOC. I used to have a red lamb WOC and a black lamb WOC and also a 226 reissue with GH but sold them because I didn't get enough use out of the red WOC, the black WOC started looking flat and the reissue just didn't do it for me anymore - prefer CC lock. I regret selling the red lamb WOC!
Agree - the jumbo is so heavy but in lamb I don't find it heavy at all. The caviar made my arm ache just trying it on with only a few things in it.
Took my jumbo out again today and what I love about it is that it fits a small umbrella. Vital for the unpredictable British weather!
