i say white jumbo with ghw.... for some reason white and gold look really classy and i dont know how to put it but some what extravagant.... in a good way, think of the panelling in versailles or the palaces in russia white and gold always look good (sorry for rambling).... and with the size go for the jumbo, and since you have two in jumbo just make them all the same size, and plus you can fit more stuff in a jumbo instead of a medium flap, more versatile... the only thing that i worry about is that white, it can really easily get dirty though... are you prepared to get the bag slightly dirty as the years go buy... if you are prepared to get that bag slightly dirty of regular use, and dont baby it go for it, and if you baby your bags, i suggest you might go for a different color... good luck :D

I'm in the minority with m/l since I like bright/light colored bags to be smaller. I prefer white m/l with silver, but you should get jumbo any hardware if the m/l is not enough space for you. M/L works for me, because daily I never carry much at all in my bags. I hate a heavy purse.

Another vote for the Jumbo, since the m/l is way too small for daily use, especially considering you are more accustomed to carrying larger bags (your other jumbos and 227). The white jumbo in GHW would be beautiful! Good luck!

i personally prefer the M/L over the jumbo...

and as you alreaedy have 2 jumbos currently i would want to go for a different size...the M/L but also since you said you like the roomyness of the jumbo the M/L may not suit you at all...

perhaps you could go to the store to compare and see which one you prefer?

good luck! :yes:

I have both in black with gold and one red Jumbo and I MUCH prefer my M/L, although I do only wear it in the evenings with fancier outfits. I just don't love the Jumbo too much anymore in the black, but I do like it a lot in the red. Still my vote goes to the M/L. For daytime I prefer the Chanel totes instead of a flap, (e.g. Medallion, Cerf, GST...).

hey there,
the straight answer is: NO.

i'm 5'3" and even though i manage to try the bag as a crossbody, it doesn't sit right, the strap is just isn't long enough. The bag looks like its all wrong when worn crossbody :laugh: You are taller than me by an inch so i think the bag would not sit right either on you.
