Hello fellow Chanel enthusiasts
I own 5 jumbos (3 single flaps - less boxy; 2 double flaps - boxy/structured CFs). I use the jumbos very rarely compared to my M/Ls, reissues, OM boy, or various mini sized bags. Especially the structured double flap CFs.
Key reasons:
But, I realize that I do already have bags with a chain that is too long.
I tried carrying my caviar dark silver jumbo CF today that way. I don't think it looked too bad. It definitely helped distribute the weight a bit as well. The thing is, because this CF is so structured, it looked a bit big still when I turned the face of the bag to the front. Now that said, lets remember that when we wear it double chained on one shoulder, same situation applies.
I do think that with the less structured/bulky single flap jumbos I have, it will look MUCH BETTER as it would look much more sleek and less frumpy/big visually and won't "stick out" as much against my body!
However, I'm in my PJ's and too lazy to pull one of those out for photos tonight so I'll update this thread tomorrow with that. (but I feel pretty good about that one We shall see
Here're some photos of how the bulkier double flap dark silver CF bag looks like carried this way. One thing that I was thinking about is that the dark silver color is sort of perfect for carrying this way because it's sort of a "cool/edgy" bag vs. for example a beige Claire jumbo which I feel like might look weird with the vibe carried this way... just how I feel
So, honest opinion please... what do you think? Does it work? sort of work? doesn't work well at all?

Key reasons:
- Especially double flap ones - heavy and look big visually because they look more boxy due to the structure.
- The chain is so long that even on my height of 5'8" they hang so low that they kept banging against my upper thigh when carried single chain or cross body. I feel that it looks frumpy as a result.
