I am setting a "saving" goal for a bag but I'm torn between two.
I definitely want a classic flap as my next Chanel, but I am having a tough time deciding between med/large and jumbo.
I have listed some pros and cons of each:
Med/Large
Pros:
* can use as every day as well as formal bag
* looks great with both chains or single chain
Cons:
* seems pretty small, is this about the size of an LV pochette?
* won't fit my sunglasses case, won't fit my every day wallet (so I will have to change wallets all the time)
* just $300 cheaper than jumbo but seems much smaller than the jumbo
Jumbo
Pros:
* great size for every day use
* hangs low so it doesn't get in the way while I'm shopping, etc
* can most likely fit my sunglasses case, and my every day wallet
Cons:
* too big for more formal wear (although I don't attend very many super formal events)
* single chain must be worn as messenger
* bag hanging low may look awkward
Owners of both, what are your thoughts?
If you could post pictures of what you could fit in your med/large or jumbo, that would be wonderful! I want a bag that's practical, but suitable for any occasion as well. The only Chanel I have is the black GST.
TIA!
