Take into consideration your needs...... If you want it for a more dressier occasions then choose m/l but if you want it more for an everyday casual wear then choose the jumbo. Between the 2 sizes, the m/l can take you from day to evening better than the jumbo would for your petite 5'2 frame. Good luck deciding!!

I'm 155cm and 44kg, consider petite in size (I'm Asian). Should I go for the medium or jumbo flap? I'm going to purchase the Beige Claire Classic Flap but still indecisive on choosing the medium or jumbo size. Please gimme some suggestions!

I don't usually carry many stuffs in the bag. I usually put in my long wallet (Chanel Camellia Patent Wallet), employee ID, a pack of tissue, a jar of Benetint Lipbalm, Samantha Thavasa Key Holder & my iPhone 4S.

I am also 5'2 and I carry my jumbo everyday! I don't think it looks too big. The only thing I don't like is when I want to wear it with only one chain it hangs very low, (below my butt, almost to the top of my knee) but I just adjust it with a ribbon so it hangs to my preferred length.

I am 5'2" as well and love my jumbo. The awkwardness of the short height to long strap ratio is solved when you tailor the strap to your liking with a ribbon like the previous poster mentioned. The great thing about the jumbo is how versatile it is. If you play around with the straps, it will give you several really beautiful looks.

So, do you carry your bag casually, I.e with jeans and flats... Or do you dress up most of the time in heels??
Sorry if this is a silly question....,

I am often in skinny jeans and flats or booties/boots. My regular uniform so to speak is a cashmere sweater, scarf, and jeans. My life calls for casual yet chic dressing as I am a stay at home mom - LOL! When I go out to a dressy event, which calls for heels (which I love also), I will sometimes make my jumbo straps super short to give it a different flavor from day time or I will take my mini camellia flap which is more delicate than the jumbo. I don't have many Chanel pieces like so many of the ladies here, but I love what I have and love the flexibility of the jumbo as I like having different style options with my neutral wardrobe. HTH!
