Nice!

I usually only have my long wallet, phone, lipgloss and keys.. Perhaps because mine is in caviar? Surprisingly I feel that the jumbo is not much different in weight when compare with the lambskin vintage xl. If anything the xl feels a tad lighter..?

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.

I'm on the verge of purchasing a small black caviar w/SHW and just want to make sure this will be okay for my height. Should I go ahead with it or go for the medium? This is my first classic!!

I really do think you should try to hold both sizes and try them on. I am 5.7 which is substantially taller and the large looked matronly on me. The small - (which is called a medium in Europe) is the one I bought and I am posting photos to give you an idea....Its a a beautiful bag and really stands out - you want to make sure it doesnt take over!:graucho:

Thanks for the pics! I actually ended up getting the buying the small at first, but exchanged it the very next day for the m/l size.

^^ Nice! :smile1: Do you have and pics maybe? I am planning a trip to a Chanel boutique in a couple of days and I'm still deciding on the size :shame: Do you find the M/L size good for your height? :smile1:

I prefer the small one :smile1: It looked cuter on me than the M/L when I tried them on... I think M/L makes a little more mature look and the small one is great for girly skirts, bright dresses etc., especially if you carry it on your wrist. :love: I don't really like that M/L looks a bit 'longer', as I really hate east-west purses:)

Nevertheless, I'd like to see some modelling pictures for both sizes as well :yes: At the moment I'm thinking of getting the small flap but I can still change my mind, they are both nice :D



Btw, can you guys tell from the picture which size this is, I'm not sure :confused1::

WOW. That's a cute purse!

I'm slightly over 5ft and I think the M/L looks great on a smaller frame, BUT it depends on how much stuff you're going to put in it. I ended up with the Jumbo, because my DH likes me to carry his stuff, too. AND my friend who has the M/L ends up putting her keys in the back pocket because she can't fit any more stuff in her bag...wouldn't want to risk scratching the precious leather!
