I have 2 jumbos classic flap one black with gold he and one beige Clair with gold hw also have a medium black chevron with silver I am wondering if I should sell my jumbos and replace with medium also I will lose money and put more money to get the medium or just keep them .
Is jumbo out of style now ?

If you haven't been reaching for your jumbo bags for a long time because you prefer the medium size better, it makes sense to sell and fund for a medium.

I have both sizes and I love them equally! The trend now is definitely small/mini bags but I think bigger bags have made a comeback too.

Do you love your Jumbo flaps? Do they work for you and your lifestyle? Would you miss them if they were gone? If the answer is "yes", I would definitely keep them for now. I don't think Jumbo is out of style. The ones you have are classic combinations. And if you sell and might regret it later, it will be harder to replace them without topping quite some money with the current Chanel prices.
Only sell if you are absolutely sure. I have several Chanel sizes and I love all of them. Best of luck with your decision!

I personally wouldn’t let the jumbos go. It’s my favourite size along with the mini. Yes I’m all or nothing! I don’t like the medium as nothing fits and I’m constantly playing bag tetris. I’d never let my jumbos go for a medium. Style is what you make it. If you love any bag you can rock it. Ultimately go with what makes your heart sing

I agree with the above. If you don’t use them and don’t love them, sell them. However, if that’s not the case and it’s within your budget, I’d say splurge for the medium.

I bought my jumbo pretty recently. I’m just one of those people that love the size, regardless of what everyone else is wearing. I have bags in both the medium and mini sizes, but the jumbo is my absolute favorite.

I’d probably only sell one jumbo and fund it towards a medium, but only once I saved for the additional expense. I like having bags in different sizes, and tend to use my smaller bags more frequently for errands or evenings and use bigger bags for day/work if they can hold a laptop.

I sold my caviar Jumbo a couple of years ago, and the only thing I regret is selling it for what I did!
I bought a small caviar flap with the proceeds, and that bag went with me everywhere, even crossing the ocean several times. It still is my go-to bag.
Don’t let what others like influence you. Sell what you don’t use and put the money toward something you will. Buying used takes the sting out of getting less than you paid.
