Your reissue is gorgeous and the size looks perfect on you!Sure!
This was a tough decision as I know that most tpfers love the 226. When I tried both on in the Chanel boutique, the 226 seemed a little big for my frame, especially when I wore it on a single chain. Ultimately though, it comes down to personal preference and what kind of look you're after. I already have a Chanel jumbo, in beige caviar, which I think works very well as a day bag. For my first reissue, and also my first black Chanel bag, I wanted something a little more elegant looking that could also work for the evenings. I love that the 225 looks good on both double and single chains. I've attached photos of myself wearing the bag with the chain doubled up.
The 225 doesn't fit that much - I can fit my long continental wallet, a iphone 6plus, keys, lip gloss and that's pretty much it. However, I don't carry a whole lot around with me most of the time, so if I switch out my continental wallet for a card case then it definitely fits the essentials.
The 226 is bigger but still not big enough to fit things like a water bottle, a fat sunglasses case, an umbrella, etc
I also have a personal preference against big boxy black Chanel flap bags - for example, I am not a fan of how the black jumbo looks on my frame. The 226 is small than the jumbo, but not by that much.
I hope this helps!
Sure!

I agree, this 225 looks perfect on you. A Jumbo would just be too large for your frame. I'm a big fan of the Jumbo because it looks good on me. When I do get a Reissue, I'll do the 226 for sure, but the 225 looks excellent on you! Great choice!

Love this photo! The lace and your Red Mani just add to the beauty of the handbag.
Great wallet! Functional and pretty at the same time. Best of luck with your finals too! :reading:
