I just received my gorgeous preloved executive tote that I purchased on a whim for a deal on eBay. But, having not seen one these up close in person, yet researching online, I was actually surprised to see that the XL is smaller than I thought it was.

The seller had accurate information and dimensions, but after cross referencing this guide that helps ID mine as XL, I was for some reason picturing something else that was an "XXL"?

Like this:

Here's me and my bag from a mirror shot, I'm 5'5" :

So, for anyone who can educate me about the sizes please let me know! Is mine really the XL? What is the larger one officially called? I'm still in love with my Cerf albeit the size and slouching. But can definitely live with it. I really wanted to use it as an alternative for something slightly smaller than a LV Neverfull GM for travel, but it's actually smaller than my MM, despite previously comparing those dimensions online too. This will be more practical for me as an everyday bag.
 
i got my original dimensions from spotted fashion.com:

Chanel Cerf Tote Small Bag$2,500.00 (USD)7” x 12” x 5.7”
Chanel Cerf Tote Bag$3,200.00 (USD)8.9” x 14.5” x 7”
Chanel Cerf Tote Tall Bag$3,200.00 (USD)11.4” x 12.4” x 5.11
Chanel Cerf Tote XL Bag$3,800.00 (USD)14” x 10” x 6

Not sure how reputable the website was but the article posting was from 2004.

From chanel.com (currently):
Shopping Bag 10.6" x 15" x 5.9" $3300
Large Shopping Bag 11.8" x 16.5" x 6.1" $3500

will post picture soon after i find a usb cable.

Maybe the other post might help you? It does look quite small.
 
Does anyone have the new model ? Reason I'm asking is that Im wondering whether to get a Samorga liner made in the wine colour to keep everything neat. (However I believe this model is a bit more structured than the original version.) Any thoughts anyone ? TIA.
 
Hello!

I think this is the first time I ever post on tpf!

So I have a cerf tote question.

Was at my local Chanel boutique, and my SA told me they have 3 bags for staff to sell at discounted price. She showed me the bags and they were all 3 beige cerf totes (old model) and that they are selling each for 1600$!!!! Now I didn't quite get it at first! I thought she's probably joking! But apparently not! Is this normal? That Chanel do discount on bags??? In all cases, I put the bag on hold to think about it. I mean a new bag from Chanel for a price like that was just an amazing opportunity! But after reading that it will be discontinued, I kind of hesitated! Can some one give me some help in this matter plz!!
