Hi
I recently bought a cerf ( executive) tote , I realised it wasn't a classic but seasonal piece and I found it quite heavy

I own a medallion tote in black and beige I love the because they are classic and light weight
I also own a medium black caviar flap. black, I love it because it's a great evening bag but a bit small for everyday as I have 2 children and like to be hands free

Because I returned my cerf tote I have a credit note and are happy to put more money to get a bag I love

So that leaves me torn between the reissue and the jumbo

I am a on a regular wage so chanel is a luxury to me hence I only buy black or beige and classics as I can not afford to follow seasonal unless the exception I love a piece

Having a jumbo and a med large flap are very similar but scream chanel

We're as the reissue not everybody knows it's chanel unless your classy and. There isn't as many counterfeit

I love the story of the reissue and it is a bit lighter and all my jewellery is platinum but the gold hard wear is stunning

The reissue is more money but not much,

Please please help me decide as I love both can only afford 1 and need to get it right. My heart is 50/50

I used to be so decisive Now I can not make a decision


Thank you in advance

Would live to hear your pros and plus on both style of bags

Since you already have a M/L, I recommend the 2.55 (reissue). It looks like you feel the same way (see statements you made in bold).

Pros:
It's lighter weight than a jumbo
The 226 size can go from day to night
It's the bag Coco Chanel designed, so it's a bit of Chanel history
It's not the same old "jumbo black caviar with gold hardware" that 99% of buyers get

Cons:
I can't find any :smile:

Thank you or follow you lots on here and you always make sence your opinion is so valid xx
 
I vote reissue! It's the ultimate classic IMO and it's truly timeless. I have the 226 (black with GHW) and it really is the perfect size, can go from day to night, and isn't too flashy.

This sums it up perfectly -- go for the reissue!
 
+1

Reissue!
Jumbo is heavy! I can't handle caviar jumbo and lamb jumbo is the most I can go (but it is heavy already)

And reissue is more under radar and light weight!

Another vote for Reissue. Tutu has all the pros covered.
 
Thank you for all your help a reissue it is. And I think ghw
Only because I have medium in shw
Can you rear the reissue cross body? I know this isn't really designed to worn like that but options are nice

Any model pics please xx
 
I am a jumbo lover, but nothing beats a reissue IMO. All the reasons you stated above are the reasons I love mine. Effortless and easy. They look so beautiful on and I like that I can wear my 226 sizes crossbody. Here are some pics per your request.
