Hi everyone
Just wanted to share my story of getting my new Chanel "perfect for me" bag at long last!
Few years ago I bought my Chanel classic flap in the size jumbo in the cavier leather, thinking that that would be the perfect one for me but as time went on I started to feel frustrated with it and actually started to really, really dislike it.
Reasons being that it was so unbelievably shockingly heavy that my shoulder would ache. Then the straps would just not work on me. I am about 5'5 tall and if I doubled it I felt I would end up damaging it under my arms, if I wore it as a singe strap it would hang so low it would look silly. Then as i would walk it would just keep on hitting my legs - not the look I was after. After much thought I decided to sell my bag.
After some time and lots of research I decided to buy the boy Chanel as it was the complete opposite to the jumbo. I got it in lambskin and I completely love it. But I would still stare at the ladies who would wear the Chanel classic flap and I really started to miss the look of the classic flap.
I then started to really consider the medium size flap and did lots of research on YouTube. The ladies who have done reviews on the medium classic flap have done some brilliant reviews on it. I also realised that I don't actually carry that much so would not mind it being a smaller bag and the single strap looks great too! So I finally have my perfect Chanel bag.
I wanted to share this story because sometimes we might think that a bag is perfect because it's what everyone else seems to think or we think It looks amazing on someone else so would look great on us too but you really have to think about your own look, style, body, height etc.
I thought the jumbo would be amazing and never looked twice at the medium and now I am completely in love with it. I also feel like my collection is complete and have no desire for anything else! (Except slgs that would go perfectly inside the medium flap!)
Thanks for letting me share [emoji4]
