    You named every reason I opted out of that bag. I think most who own it, if their honest with themselves feel the same way. It’s always so interesting to me how the reissue is the anti jumbo in every possible way. Great video! Love Amaya!!!

    Great video. I appreciate how you get straight into the points. I’ve been debating whether to add a jumbo to my collection but I keep hearing about how heavy it is. I’m happy with my medium classic flap (preloved) which I did a review of but I see you already have a beautiful medium flap!! It’s gorgeous. 💕 Thanks for sharing!

    I sold my single flap jumbo last year and I’ve never regretted it. I’m 5”2 and that chain was one of the reasons why I didn’t use it. Even got a chain clip but it’s too big and heavy to carry on single strap. I still got my mini square and medium double and I love them way more. I put the money from my jumbo (I made about 2.500 euro back it was a 2008) and put it in our savings for a new flat:)

    Great idea for a video. Excellent points. Sounds like I wouldn't be able to carry it with my back problems. The Chanel business affinity has the same awkward strap length problem. Interesting about the 2nd flap being more difficult on the jumbo than the medium. I'll start thinking about whether I have a bag I could do this video about.

    Wow Jill thank you for doing this video. I have been wanting a Chanel Jumbo but recently in the past few months, I have started to rethink if I really want it or not. I have heard so many negative things about this bag and I will admit, I think I wanted it because it is Chanel not because it is unique or really any more special than any other bag. The price increases are insane and with the quality going down and the prices going up, I just don't think I am going to go there. Now, I do think I will go pre-loved and go med/large because it is really a prettier bag in that size. I love my Reissue and it is lightweight too.Also that strap length! I am a little over 5"3 so that strap would go down to my knees! Excellent video Jill!!! I needed to hear this and now my mind is eased. No Jumbo for this Shorty!!!! XOXO

    • @JillMaurer
      @JillMaurer  5 лет назад +1

    I agree with all your reasons. Yet I still love my classic flaps. However, I haven't bought a classic flap in over 8 years because Chanel has lost me with the pricing. Interestingly I tend to use my mini and maxi the most. My jumbo probably gets the least used. I go back and forth about getting another rectangular mini or a coco handle but concerns about quality and the fact that those bags are priced similarly to classic flaps when I first started buying Chanel really gives me pause. Great video. I would make a similar video but you and Amaya did such a great job on the bags that I would choose!

    • @JillMaurer
      @JillMaurer  5 лет назад

      I struggle with all the same things. I never got a mini and think that may have been the best one for me, but the prices are too high for me too. I have a couple of Reissues as well. After this year I'm going to start in earnest on reducing my collection. It's hard to think about, but I need to do it!! xoxo

      I'm on the fence about this one. I think I'm going to end up selling it. I got the Jumbo because my m/l wouldn't go cross body. I like the single flap better but don't carry it much because it isn't very flattering on me. I do really like the color. Ugh ... I'm still on the fence, but I think I'm going to sell it. xoxo

    I tried a gorgeous jumbo in the neiman Marcus Chanel boutique. I had admired it for a while but wasn’t ready to buy so had never tried it on. When I finally went in to purchase I tried it on and all I could think was that the bag was wearing me. I was relieved that I decided not to buy a six and a half thousand dollar bag. I purchased a lovely seasonal clutch for half that amount. I now wish I had landed somewhere in between like maybe the small double flap.

    • @JillMaurer

      Jill Maurer it is. It’s just doesn’t fit anything. I needed an evening bag and I don’t carry much anyway so I gave no thought at all to what it can fit. I can barely get a card holder keys and lipstick. But it is Devine. I thought that the mini looked out of proportion. They did have a small size which was larger than the mini. Still small and cute but looked more normal proportions. That jumbo though was unlike any Chanel I’ve ever seen. It was a double flap but my SA said that it was not a “classic “ bag. It was a cow leather but not caviar and not quilted at all. It was the most beautiful shade of light beige ivory. Probably a terrible color for such a large bag. Hard to protect it. If she had it in a smaller size I would have gotten it.

    I sold my Chanel double flap jumbo for so many of these reasons , to cumbersome for me , very heavy , very annoying to get in and out of ! While the single flap may have worked out better , this particular flap bag just didn’t do it for me , Chanel doesn’t do it for me at this stage in my life ! I will never say never but right now Chanel prices are borderline insane and not for me ! Thanks for sharing Jill ! Xoxo

      Jill Maurer I will say I am glad I was able to be able to try out a Chanel classic flap ,not everyone can say they truly got to test out a style to see if it works , so I consider myself blessed to have been able to do that ! While I say all the time I am not purchasing new LV , I will never say never , but for me to purchase they do have to get their quality under control ! As you know I do have a new NEVERFULL mm in my collection I will reveal soon and my aunt is being so generous gifting me her DE speedy 30 classic, before the canvas was reformulated ,I am not a speedy person but I believe my true issue was with the bandouliere , I always preferred the classic 1 zipper and I appreciate their older canvas , hers is from 2011 or 2012 I believe ,she has since added the speedy 30 bandouliere herself no longer reaching for her classic ,so in the new year she will be gifting me hers ! My collection is growing with the help of her for sure ! I would have been crazy to turn down such gifts like she is giving me from the bottom of her heart ! This was a great topic video !

    I have the medium double flap and I have to say it works fine for me. Not awkward, difficult, not heavy etc for my everyday use. The caviar leather makes it a workhorse. I've been caught in the rain with it and not a spot on it so far. However, I can see how different it would be with a jumbo because of size and the chain length. Thanks!

    I’m considering a single flap beige jumbo or medium double flap as my first chanel.
    I’m ok with wearing the chain doubled only and a jumbo would just looks rediculous cross body so I’m ok with that too.
    The medium double flap one I’m considering is about 500 dollars more.
    Both preloved. Both beige. Which would you go for?

    • @JillMaurer
      @JillMaurer  5 лет назад +1

      My choice would be the medium double. I like that bag better. However, I use it more as a dinner bag or when I don't need to carry much. If you need a larger bag then go for the jumbo. As you know I definitely prefer the single flap jumbo over the double flap jumbo. I'll be interested to hear what you decide! xoxo

    • @JillMaurer
      @JillMaurer  5 лет назад +1

      A lot of it also depends on your style. For Chanel bags I think the Reissues are more flattering. Medium size hobo bags are generally flattering. A lot of top handle bags are flattering but can be more of a pain to carry because you don't put it over your shoulder. Same for clutch bags. xoxo

    This video is so honest and to the point 🙌🏽Ladies, don’t sleep on the reissue. I think that’s one of the best flap bags Chanel has ever made. The jumbo classic flap is really overhyped and at this point overpriced. I own both the reissue and the classic flap and if I’m being honest I keep my Jumbo just cause the value of the bag keeps increasing and I believe it would be like the Birkin and Kelly at some point. The reissue (the 226 especially) is everything a flap bag is ought to be. Perfect strap length, not too heavy, sits just right on your side 🥰. I could go on and on about reasons why I love that bag. I’m so glad I could get the reissues I own at a very good price cause the resell value isn’t like the Classic flaps cause people still buy into that hype. If you want one, now is the time to snag one preloved cause I noticed more people are getting into the reissue vibe.

    Ill add number 6.. it doesn’t have shoulder pad... people will not realize but that’s actually the reason, primary reason why it makes your body ache when wearing the bag, weight is just secondary.. my boy bag is large, i can fill it up to the fullest but it doesn’t hurt me as long as the shoulder pad is properly affixed on my shoulder.. i have a small gucci Marmont bag, take note, small.. it starts to hurt then I realise, oops, the shoulder has already moved to the wrong area, so I will adjust back the shoulder pad to where it should be, and the pain will go immediately..

    I don't have the panache to carry a Chanel bag, but even if i did, i would not give them my money. Chanel and LV have lost me. I am exploring some fabulous brands which have prices commensurate with their quality. I am willing to pay a premium for a name, but that name has to be based in the quality of the item itself and that is not happening with Chanel or LV anymore. It does still appear to be with Hermes, but I am not in that financial league. (I would literally need to give up eating to afford a Birkin! Not an option! LOL!) Thank you for the video.

I can imagine that bumping along at your side as you walk down the street - or belting everyone in the head as you make your way down the aisle of a train or plane.

I think it was the same as the size medium? And while I don't dress with the "according to my size" rule, I don't have a few limits. This bag looked like a rectangular box of tissue protruding from my tummy and banged into everything I came close to 😂🤣😂🤣😂 I ended up donating it to women in need of bags to go on job interviews.
    I do however may consider a mini one day because it won't be quite so boxy.
    And I can't agree more on their price increases! Such a turn off for a bag that can easily be scrubbed off on the corners. I've looked at tons of preloved ones online. I just don't think they're worth it. Ugh!
