I love my maxi flap, I don't use it too much but will never sell, have you seen the new prices?
I bought mine around 2011 for like 3500, what if you regret and want to buy back, it will cost three times more.
Chanel Jumbos going out of style?

I think we’re all so lucky to have the jumbo before it becomes popular again. Also, with the prices now it’s really hard to get it so not everyone would really go for it.
^^^^^ 1000% that is why I just invested in two jumbos because of this very reason! I love the size anyway but just the significance of the price jump of the jumbo makes it a much for difficult bag to obtain price wise in the future. Even pre-loved sites for jumbos right now in very good condition are in the $6k range.
Agree! It's actually reasonably priced right now if anyone is looking to score pre-loved jumbos. That's also why I can't wrap my head around paying more for minis than I originally paid for my Jumbo in Paris.
Right? It’s literally the same bag but the price is so much higher lol can’t believe it!
I feel jumbo is making a comeback (perhaps as someone mentioned is more "fairly" priced now compared to say a medium. Well, it's all relative sometimes).
I just sold my jumbo DF yesterday; keeping my SF. With SF, my DF is hardly touched. The ease of use with a SF - very ergonomic compared to DF.

Still loving my precious quint jumbo in lambskin gold hardware! How precious can it get! Always reminding me of my first ever trip to Paris & Rue Cambon itself
I like how you wore it on the first pic. Never seen this beforr. I have a short torso and am 5’3”so probably would work for me. I have two jumbos! Thanks for the idea.
Do not part with it. I have maxi on my list to get one day. It’s something so effortlessly chic about a Maxi
You’re welcome. Love wearing this way too when it gets heavy for a shoulder carry and too awkward crossbody and I’m petite too. Enjoy.
Agree. I love my single flap jumbo. It's so easy to use and I wear it mostly with winter coats (more so because of its dark brown color).
I started with a WOC (old design), never thought I would be interested in a classic flap particularly the jumbo size and I never thought I would be interested in preloved. After having quite a few in different sizes, colors, leather all bought new, I got to appreciate them and know them better. Just added a WOC with new design and my very first 10 year old jumbo black lambskin gold hardware double flap. My two cents. Big bags are definitely coming back. However, the fact that I cherish and love the WOC and Jumbo now is because WOC new design so practical and comfortable to use, with same things to carry as a small classic flap and it's so versatile. Jumbo, preloved, is very light weight in lambskin. The bag itself has about the same weight of the chains which is the heavy part I guess. The sole reason I got it preloved is that I could not find a better quality one new, both in terms of leather and craftsmanship. All the sewing is impeccable; chain has no raw edges like new ones. Lambskin is divine, shiny and puffy like new from boutique. It simply ages beautifully. 
I think whoever has owned an older bag would understand what I appreciate.
