Hello ladies...
I am new to Chanel, having been entrenched in LV for several years. I have recently begun to grow tired of my LV collection and am now branching into Chanel and Hermes.
I would like to purchase my first Chanel bag prior to the price increase, which is fast approaching. I am interested in a Classic Flap bag, black caviar with gold hardware - in my opinion this is a pretty timeless combo - I hope you agree! I also like the look of the beige with silver hardware, but I'm thinking that the black combo would be more versatile.
I am stuck on deciding between a jumbo and a m/l. I see this bag as being more of a 'occasional use' bag, not necessarily a daily use bag. I have a 21 month old daughter, so my go-to bags during the day are totes and comfy, accessible cross-body styles. I'd like a Chanel flap that I can take out shopping for a day or to lunch, but that can also transition easily into a dinner out, etc.
While I generally gravitate towards larger bags, for this purpose I'm wondering if the m/l would not be a better choice? I've looked at a bunch of threads with action shots, etc., and the jumbo looks to me like it might be a bit large. I am tall - 5'9" and 135 lbs.
Unfortunately I do not live close to a boutique so cannot pop in to try the different sizes on. I would wait until my next trip to a boutique, however as I understand it the upcoming price increase is going to be a sizeable one, so I'd love to sort this out prior to that, if possible.
I would love any and all feedback and opinions. Thank you!
