My first chanel classic flap...Help!!

[angelqueen88]

I am struggling on the classic BLK flap bag in cavier or lambskin. Gold or Silver CC logo?? Jumbo or large, I am 5,9' .

Can I have some input please? What do you guys think? I appreciate the help.

I suggest the caviar jumbo (since you're 5'9) for an everyday bag. Gold/silver hardware is a matter of personal preference.

^^^ agree

I also like caviar jumbo since you don't have to worry about getting scratches on it if you use it as an everyday bag. I prefer silver hardware.

I am struggle on medium or jumbo since jumbo is not an evening bag because I already have a LV NF as an everyday bag. As I talked to my bf I told him if it is jumbo I will use it more often. If it is large, I probably will use it when it was dressy. sigh..

How about the reissue 226? Its size is right in between the medium classic flap and the jumbo classic flap. http://forum.purseblog.com/chanel-r...mensions-of-the-timeless-classics-485001.html

I prefer the double CC lock more. That is the reason y I didn't think of reissue 226.

Personally, I think the most timeless Chanel's bag is the black m/l lambskin classic flap with gold hardware... But again... Bag is more on personal preference :
- How many's items do you usually carry ? If it is lots, a jumbo is a better option
- Are you a careful person ? If it is so, a lambskin may work for you
- Do you have more gold or silver jewelries ? That's how usually you know your hardware preference
GOOD LUCK
