Uh-oh...saw the new red jumbo in person...

Personally, I like the new chain better on the MEDIUM flap.

IMO, the new chain seems a little out of proportion--not substantial enough--on the JUMBO flap. :shrugs:

You hit the nail on the head for me. I like the jumbo new chain but something looked odd. i do like it more on the medium.

Oh and that's a great idea of tying a knot with the hair elastic. My Chanel SA said tying a knot would not harm the strap and she showed me how to do it so thats how I've been carrying it.
