I'm 5"2 and it is perfect for me to wear double strands or single for crossbody. I think it is a great bag to wear discreetly day or night, casual or dressy.

I tried the 226 at the store and it has the same capacity as my bbk 28. You can't go wrong with either one.

Thank you for your reply! I'm only slightly taller than you (5'5) and I absolutely loved the size of the 226 - the only problem was that I'm quite small and fairly narrow so it looked a little bulky on me crossbody - my husband and dad both thought it looked awkward. I was disappointed because I have a jumbo that I can't wear crossbody for the same reason, and I'd always read that since the reissue is flatter and softer it "sits" better against the body than the classic flap
 
For everyone asking what I got, I'm planning to do a big reveal in a couple of days because I've had a very productive June bagwise haha. It's my first reveal on the forum after lurking and looking at everyone else's beautiful pictures for months so I'm really excited!!
 
I've been bitten by the chanel bug recently so I feel you.. Which do you prefer - the classic flap or reissue?

I do not own a reissue flap sadly but I do have a jumbo and m/l classic flap. The reissue flap is definitely on the list for a more discrete bag. But if I could only have one, I'd probably stick with jumbo classic flap.
