Chanel classic jumbo [emoji50]

I thought it would end my lust for all other bags period. But after I got it I wasn't particularly wowed by it... I also realized the gold hardware was not me at all. It was overall too stuffy of a look for me, and realized I like more casual/practical bags!

OMG! I forgot about the Fendi 2Jours I bought online and returned the same day I got it. I hated the saffiano leather and that bag is far heavier than it should be for its size. It just looks cheap in person.

I soooooo relate to your statement about thinking the Chanel Jumbo would end all other bag lust. I thought when I got my HG red Jumbo (in my photo) that it would be ultimate, untouchable bag love. Then I got it. And while I do love it, it's not an OMG! bag for me. My problem is I'm not fond of rigid caviar in the jumbo - the bag looks big and a little body on me because I'm slim. I know the issue isn't the style because adore my calfskin jumbo and my medium lamb. They just don't have the big profile of the rigid jumbo. So no more rigid caviar Chanels for me - ever.

Interesting!!! The Chanel Classic Jumbo is my Ultimate Holy Grail!!! It's the IT bag of all IT bags!!! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I hope that if I ever get to own it, it will work for me. Fingers crossed

I'm sure it will!! I love Chanel Jumbos - just not the rigid caviar. And I'd bet 99% of people who have rigid caviar love it. So you'll be fine!!:tup:

Proenza Schouler PS11: too heavy, too squeaky, and the sharp corners of the hardware would occasionally whack people. Sold it.

LV Palm Springs Mini Backpack: I still really love the look of this bag, especially when worn crossbody. But the strap was too thin, the zipper too fiddly, and the bag too small for my needs. I still wistfully sigh when I see this bag though.

Balenciaga Giant City bag and Alexander Wang Rocco - both too heavy because of the hardware.

Also, realized that no matter how much I love a bag I should not be allowed to buy something light in a leather that is not dirt resistent - I end up either 1) not using the bag for fear of getting it dirty or 2) getting it just mussed up enough that I feel selfconscious using it, and ultimately leaving it in the closet.....

LV Speedy - I purchased it and when I got home. I could not stand the bottom likely to sag with things in it. It was too bulky on my frame as well although it seemed fine at the store. After less than 30 minutes, I drove back to the store and got the LV Favorite MM instead. Suits me way better.
Gucci Sukey - I was dying to have this bag for the longest time and so excited when I finally got the package delivered. After seeing it and realizing that it's so open, I could not keep it. I shipped it back the next day.
Prada - I don't even know the name of the bag but I got caught in the hype. I gave them to relatives. I never bought any of their items again. It's just not for me.
