CHANEL JUMBO 4-YEAR WEAR & TEAR | My Buying and Owning Experience | Kat L

[@RooRuth]

I really appreciate your honesty and your straightforward manner. Your videos are so informative and helpful and you seem likes someone I'd be friends with IRL. Thank you for your perspective. I know what you mean about getting your first Chanel being a life changing event. Seems silly, but it's true!

[@KatL]

Ruth Anzalone thank you! I'm glad my videos are useful , I try to be as brutally honest as I can without accidentally offending anyone. Oh. And life changing is the RIGHT term! Totally true! Haha

[@RooRuth]

BTW, IRL means in real life. :)

[@anaburger4295]

What a great video. I like that you mention the size, weights, and material. I have a bad shoulder, so your information was very helpful. Thank you.

[@KatL]

glad you found the video helpful!! :D thank you for watching!

[@nadiamasood8161]

Very informative and great video. I have just purchased chanel Classic medium GHW in Cavier leather its preloved from Vestiaire Collective website. I bought it medium because I will used it only for special occasions and dinners or lunch with friends. But I think jumbo is more like for daily basis or dressy as well but yea now I am enjoying my classic medium a lot. Thanks xx

[@handbagloverbaby3709]

Like your video!!! It's so real.... Since I have a jumbo in patent leather, it's so heavy when I put all my belongings...but I still love my bag since the bag is the first chanel bag I use my own money to buy...it's so meaningful to me.

[@KatL]

Handbag lover Baby oh patent! I didn't mention it because when I was at the store , they said classic is only beige / black and lambskin / caviar. Not sure if they had other materials and colours...but I'm really old school. I wouldn't be able to rock patent!

[@Greatsoprano12]

I love watching your videos. You are so cute and informative. Do you have a video on your Chanel medium flap?

[@KatL]

nope - i sold that bag a while back

[@happyjetjet]

My 1st Chanel is d jumbo too! And yes u r right. When we r in d store, omgosh, all we see are stars.

[@KatL]

Georgia Kaounis hahaha! totally blinded by the sparkles! 😲

[@LifeofMC]

Wise decision... I just bought the jumbo, a few days ago, in gold hardware and haven't used it yet. Good thing I am not the type of person who carries a lot of stuff. I pick a wallet, lipstick and powder, wipes and cellphone. Awesome video!

[@KatL]

thank you!

[@beverleyroberts1025]

Thank you, a very good, honest and informative reviews. You covered absolutely everything from first owning to practically using the bag. I think all of the bags are beautiful, but all have pros and cons. I am petite so the medium size looks perfect, and looks gorgeous on, however after only using the bags for the first fees days I realised that you can not fit too much in, only essentials. The jumbo is still beautiful but more practical, but then you have the bulkiness and the weight.

[@kgan4733]

Try the reissue 226. It's inbetween medium and jumbo, not heavy either

[@dimdull]

I am rewatching this video. Still enjoy it. Thinking of purchasing a jumbo - no not from the Chanel store - must be really DIM to buy it new, funding the super rich owners of Chanel. More of looking towards good deals in pre-love market.

[@michellewalmach5986]

Beautiful bag! I haven’t decided which I’m going to get. I went to Chanel today❤️

[@Bothvong]

Great information! You look gorgeous with this makeup, darling!

[@KatL]

Bothvong thank you!!!! *blush*

[@MeganES]

I chose gold with my black bag. I find that the gold brings out brown eye colors better. It's more eye catching too!

[@KatL]

Megan Elizabeth gold brings out brown eyes? Hmm. Interesting!!!! I will definitely check it out the next time I look at gold hardware 😘

[@moxie127]

Thanks for that squeaky thing. Mine too. So its normal. I let go of the lambskin because the diamond design deflates. its very delicate. I cant fill it up. Also the XL or the largest size is so big. NOt easy to carry around. The large is the best size to start with. But for travelling around, bring the next smaller one. Reality is they are both heavy . The chains put so much weight. Its only nice to carry it around when you wont walk around for long.

[@monicaabrenica5491]

I have probably watched over a hundred videos on the subject of Chanel flap bags and yours is the best and most helpful one. I'm 110% sure now what I want! Glad I came across this. thank you! 😊

[@KatL]

thank you so much~ i'm glad you found this video helpful :) good luck in getting your bag!

[@SW-qv7gi]

Excellent review! I’m planning on buying a Chanel bag and also go through the heavy bag light bag phases!

[@KatL]

thank you!

[@Akittycat39]

I sold my jumbo caviar because of the weight and also not a very practical bag overall due to cost per wear. It's a very gorgeous and classy bag though.

[@KatL]

i've considered selling it but....kekek...i'll enjoy for a bit more first :)

[@sharonmcmann-morelli4896]

I have been checking all the videos on Chanel bags. I think Th Jumbo will be a good choice for my first, in the caviar. Loved your informative video.

[@diannepolmanter7217]

Just discovered your videos and I love them! You’re very informative and hilarious.

[@KatL]

thank you so much!

[@manuelaebneter]

there is also an inbetween hardward - goldsilver

[@adub_from_253]

really helpful video, you gave me a lot to think about. You're the first person who made me consider the comfort of the chain using cross body. thanks!!

[@oneofeverything9820]

it's still such a gorgeous bag! i am truly jealous 😍😍😍

[@KatL]

Shoes and Cars heheh! Thanks dear!

[@rjsagisi6511]

Thank you so much! Very helpful! Definitely buying that bag and subscribing! 💕💕

[@Buttercookiesssss]

Hi Kat! Have you considered the older jumbo model single flap? Many of the KZbinrs prefer that version, saying it's much lighter

[@reshmakotian7044]

Hi Kat, Your video is extremely helpful. I just decided to take the plunge and get my first Chanel bag. Im still confused between M/L and Jumbo. I wont be using it for work as I have to carry a laptop. But will use it while travel or weekends. Im5'2. Which one would you suggest since you own both?

[@nj-rb8gs]

great video! loved your honesty.. so true about the Jumbo ..I have a caviar Jumbo ..I love mine ..but in all honesty its heavy! i don't mind the weight because The bag is beautiful ..

[@KatL]

thanks dear :D i totally agree - big (i.e. heavy) and beautiful!

[@theyoungs100]

Excellent video. Extremely real, practical and informative! Well done!

[@abracadabraalakazam.]

Fantastic review! I'm kind of surprised that the sound didn't go away, that was a question I had but no one seemed to answer. I'm also happy you touched upon the weight, that's something I'm afraid of. It's such an investment that I don't want to make the wrong decision. In about a month I'll be at the boutique making a decision, hopefully I can make a decision before walking into the store.

[@Mona-mr1cd]

Great video and love the fact that you acknowledge you do not Baby the bag!!! Yessss. I just bought one and it’s still in the box ... had one day and waiting to start using it because it’s for my bday and that’s soon .... but I think since your bag has been used it’s like wayyyyy better than brand new. The sheen on the bag in the video looks supple!!! Makes me think pre loved is the way to go but I wanted my first flap to be new ... mate if another one I’ll get a pre loved. I too wanted a classic bigger bag than the WOC!!!! I love caviar leather as its durable!!!!! I wanna love it and use it like you!!!!!

[@KatL]

thank you and congratulations on your new bag!!!!!

[@elaineling8752]

Wonderful video! So imformative! I love your videos :-)

[@KatL]

thanks dear!!!

[@myraqatar2605]

Wonderful guidelines 😍

[@Bunyarat5959]

Yes!! I'm with you I'll get the bigger bag I want jumbo too

[@KatL]

hehehe!!!

[@babyabbytime5449]

oh I can imagine the weight! I had an older version with the single flap and that feels heavy on my delicate shoulder n bcos it's so expensive I kept gg back n forth on selling it bcos it's still a really stunning cool bag. same with u after this jumbo I bot a medium sized haha n strikes off any bag with chain or weight. when u r feeling pain all u feel is hate hahaha

[@KatL]

Abby time Baby We have been traumatized 😆 Hahaha.

[@sabrinalieu5417]

great video! loved the honesty and how you just get straight to it!

[@shaunabibi223]

your so cute thanks for the review. i cannot decide if i want the jumbo or rectangular mini! i have been doing so much research and i just dont know! i have a baby and dont carry much in my bags. i dont think heaviness bothers me but i just dont know!

[@kakaa627]

Hi! I'm new to your channel and already subscribed! I'm deciding for my first Chanel bag when I came across your channel and this is the best review I've seen!!! From describing the bag to your personal experience, everything was really informative which helped me with my decision! Loved your detailed explanation and humor as well! Looking forward to watching more of your videos! ❤️

[@KatL]

thank you so much....i really appreciate it and I'm really glad my videos helped you out :) thanks for subscribing too :)

[@dwbeulah]

thank you for you honest, funny, in-depth review! Its a big help helping me make a decision, based on practicality and not just aesthetics!

[@KatL]

you're welcome! thanks for watching

[@hannyd1]

Yes caviar is a heavy bag. I love your stud earrings :)

[@KatL]

thanks babe!

[@trisha6053]

Strangely the jumbo is actually heavier than the Maxi! I have no idea how that is even possible but even the SA acknowledged this recently!

[@wsliew]

Great video! I'm in need of something to hold more than the m/l and the weight of the jumbo is definitely keeping me away. It's a struggle though because the jumbo is such a classic!! Your makeup is bomb in this video! 💣💣

[@KatL]

Lilacgan thank you dear . I need to use eyeliner more. Hahaha. I am just soooo lazy sometimes . Weight is something that you don't feel until you really use the bag. That's how I felt. Being resentful or disappointed is pointless coz I already spent the money. I just have to go to the gym, do more weight training for my shoulder and upper body 😹

[@Rattiks]

Lilacgan hey I have a bad back/shoulder problem and I was really concerned about this with the jumbo but I decided to go for it anyways because the m/l is way too small for my lifestyle and after using it for a couple of hours, it is a little heavy but not to the point that its painful to use. So basically its not as heavy as it sounds compared to other types of leather bags which are more heavy 😁

[@fateharazak8459]

I love your reviews. Very honest. Somehow very scientific as well haha. You deserve a lot more subscribers!

[@iveagh3256]

Hi Kat love your videos. could i ask about the wear and tear on the Diorama cannage, i am interested in purchasing one but have read reviews that the cannage peels away. what do you think. thanks

[@KatL]

Saerllo Lolo hi dear! Thanks ! For the Dior, I haven't had any problems with it but it is still rather new. I'll do one later on but right now, I don't see any issue on peeling.

[@evonnedale3691]

Hi Kat, I have the same bag in gold hardware. It's my first chanel bag and going into its third year. I share the same sentiment as you. Do you think the weight (heavy) is due to the full leather lining and being double flap? My other single flap fabric lined bags weigh much less. Thanks for the video :)

[@KatL]

evonne dale hi dear, yes definitely. since they stopped producing the classic single flap in full leather lining, the double flap is the only original "classic" . I asked abt single flap n cloth lining, and even those it is also called "Chanel classic" - it is normally seasonally. These follow the classic design, but the true classic, are our double flap, full leather tanks. Hahaha. That's what the SA told me anyway, so hopefully she wasn't pulling my leg

[@KellyLQL]

Thanks for the information, Kat. I’m thinking of getting the Chanel Jumbo in red come March 2018! Not sure if the red will be available!

[@KatL]

OOOO!!!! Good luck dear!

[@suzanneshort8296]

Great review.. very informative.

[@KatL]

thank you!

[@jmn1811hk]

Hi Kat, I still can't decide between the jumbo double flap vs single flap. Was the single flap ever in your radar? Thanks!

[@MSpanders10]

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with this lovely bag.

[@KatL]

MSpanders10 thanks for watching 😘

[@sehrishsultan7147]

Thanks again Kat for advice ,I saw your review for miss Dior promenade clutch and diorama both of these bags are on my wishlist how are they wearing with time are they comparable to Chanel bags?

[@KatL]

sehrish sultan hi dear , thanks for watching my other videos 😍 both my diors are pretty new. This year's purchases. I can't tell u abt the wear n tear yet. Both look pretty amazing still ...!

[@hermeslover5287]

Great advise! I agree because I own the same bag!! x

[@KatL]

Birkin loves me yeah! Twinsies!

[@sehrishsultan7147]

Hi Kat thanks for reply last question I have medium black classic flap with gold hardware but I am thinking about getting jumbo also which color should I go with beige caviar with Shw or black with shw?

[@KatL]

sehrish sultan hi dear, it really depends what are you going to use it for? Do u carry a lot of things? If yes, then maybe jumbo. If u are already using the medium and find that more than enough for your daily use, then stick with the medium. Like I said, jumbo is heavy and if u are not comfortable with heavy bags, u might end up not using it after you buy it. As for Colour, are you always running around during errands that u might run the risk of dirtying the bag (eg, putting it on the floor, car floor, knocking the bag around)? If so, stick with dark colours because u dowan to risk staining such an expensive bag.

[@np7688]

Hi Kat, if u were to restart your chanel bags collection again, would u purchase jumbo again or the medium large size?

[@KatL]

Hi dear, right now - i would say, the jumbo. When i travel, i tend to bring more things - passport, 2 wallets, etc etc....the medium large is not big enough. The additional space from the jumbo really helps.

[@sharonmcmann-morelli4896]

Great video, making me think before I purchase👍

[@benjamin72hollow]

Hi! I just started watching your videos and I am enjoying them. I love your accent. May I ask what do you do for a living that has you traveling a lot?

[@KatL]

benjamin72hollow thanks for watching! I work with a financial technology firm and I am part of the group strategy and synergy team.

[@yazlindayazid8795]

Hi Kat. Love22 your videos. Very informative. I wish you'd do a Q&A video. Are u in Malaysia?

[@KatL]

YazLinda Yazid hi dear! Thank you so much! And yes I am. I will do a q&a video one day. Hahaha. I am not very interesting! Hahaha

[@allaboutsandee4798]

nice video. i like your necklace as well

[@KatL]

Sandra Mae Liu thanks dear! I got this choker from Lovisa

[@LuxLimited]

Hi Kat! I had been watching u for a while now and i get you about the feeling of love and hate about this bag I have it before and decide to sell it to get the medium but now after having the medium I’m reconsidering to get this bag and give it another chance but will definitely go to the pre love route! :) Thank you for this video!

[@KatL]

thanks dear. Yup it's definitely a love-hate relationship, though lately i'm in love with it again...kekeke

[@yensp2474]

Thank you dear ...

[@Diamondbeach]

Love ur reviews. Ur so detailed and covered so much. Thank u.

[@kaylee1371]

[@cherrytangoo3439]

[@KatL]

[@Zzzfrk]

Would the jumbo bag in lambskin have lighter weight than caviar??

[@eccentriclocs]

The single flaps are lighter weight.

[@christinagoh589]

Great review babe, looking forward to your next video 😄😉🤗

[@KatL]

Christina Goh thanks dear!

[@riabebong11]

Hey i love your video, i will buy my first chanel bag but im not sure medium or jumbo , i only 163 cm and skinny . Can u advice for me 😅thank you

[@KatL]

hmmm....if you like bigger bags and need to carry more stuff, i'd say the jumbo. But if you don't carry much, then the medium is a perfect size.

[@janniferkong4521]

Hi kat, your info is soooo good, i was the same feeling as you everytime when i wanted to buy any bags 😜😜, 👍👍👍

[@KatL]

Jannifer Kong thanks babe, I am so glad I am not the only one feeling that this bag is a bag of rocks. Though I loveeee it, I really 😡😡😡 at it too

[@bonniejordan3441]

Great bag ! Love it 💕

[@KatL]

Bonnie Jordan thanks for watching and commenting! 😘

[@claciver0925]

Hey I'm just wondering ..Is your jumbo double flap or single?

[@KatL]

hi dear, it is a double flap

[@goodvibes7424]

You're so funny! And, excellent review! Another reason why I subscribe 🙂. Thank you for your honest review. There are essential aspects I forgot to consider or I overlooked, so thank you for helping me make wiser purchase in the future. Durability is a factor for me that's why I highly prefer the caviar; scratch-resistance, structured and such. You have a delightful upcoming week! Cheers! 🍵

[@KatL]

thank you! you have a wonderful week ahead too!

[@Nicole-ck1nk]

Amazing thank you very much for such a great explanation ❤️

[@KatL]

thank you!

[@lindsayb7509]

Can you tell us the process of purchasing a CHANEL? Waitlist? If so how long did it take? I keep seeing people just walk in and buy them, then on the other hand people are waiting for months?? I don't get it?? Were the associates nice to you, Or stuck up? Tell me everything! 😀😁👍 thank you! Also if ANYONE here can answer these questions, I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks!

[@พลอยพิพัฒน์ติวากุล-ม2ล]

Thank you so much! It awesome video:)

[@jadeyemmagaga]

I have a vintage medium tall from 1990 which incorporates genuine carrot gold. I have zero scuffing or tarnishing on the hardware after all this time.

[@KatL]

Jade Gibbons that's amazing!!!! 1990!!! Those vintage pieces were all made soooo well

[@cocobecky]

[@nosheenmajeed471]

I’ve fallen out of love with mine; time to sell? 🤔

[@KatL]

yes, if you're willing to part with it :)

[@schafava]

My jaw dropped at the price difference!! I think currently the Jumbo is MYR28,000ish.

[@maryoom0087]

I went through the same experience with my maxi caviar bag :( I'm still so in love with it though... My second flap bag will definitely be smaller and in lamb skin 😂😂💔

[@dawn7491]

Babe.. please help. I know I want jumbo. But should I get caviar or lambskin? Please help!!!

[@KatL]

hmmm....what are you going to use the bag for? Caviar is very hardwearing but lambskin is also really nice. Depends on your need

[@akillaa3519]

Love all your videos and your bags!

[@KatL]

Akilla A thanks dear!!!

[@MissMarilyn]

[@annabee148]

I really appreciate your honesty tanks! you er funny ;)

[@summ3rnightfashion521]

Gorgeous bag, great video! Dream bag 😀

[@MsOsarr]

If you take your bag to Chanel, they will change the turnlock for a fee

[@KatL]

Oulimata Sarr I should, but I am waiting for it to get more scratched up first hahaha

[@Lifeplasty]

You have got me second guessing my decision...I don't use my jumbo a lot so I do wonder if it's truly worth it .....(grim)

[@KatL]

Ruva-a but when u use it, do you feel like a million dollars? Lol. I know I do ! Though my shoulders scream after many hours, my jumbo still holds a special place in my heart - 1st Chanel purchase after years of dreaming. I went through 2nd, 3rd , nth guessing my decision when I wasn't using it much (like I said in my video) , but I am at 'peace' (at the moment) with my problems with it (i.e. Weight and uncomfortable chains)...love conquers all , right? Haha

[@Lifeplasty]

TBH I feel more than a million dollars whenever I think about the fact that I even own it! In some ways I feel uncomfortable wearing it because I am not a "wow" kind of woman...just very ordinary but this is the kind of bag that I would be bonkers to sell...it was a dream for many years and I count myself as very fortunate! You have really cheered me up xx

[@eccentriclocs]

Same here, very ordinary -but I sold it and it was a huge mistake because I had to repurchase at almost double the price that I got the first one. The silver hardware seems to have slightly less of a "wow" factor. Hopefully you have decided to wear it more often:)

[@aikaryna]

U give me the flight attendant vibe. Hmmm are u,too? :) love this vid.

[@KatL]

Ciara Pirote hi dear :) I'm not a flight attendant, though I take the plane so much I made several flight attendant friends! 😅 thanks for watching!

[@madsbukowski5201]

As much as it's an attractive bag personally find I find it singularly uncomfortable 😣. Great review.

lol - agreed....love hate bitter sweet relationship i have with it!

[@nurnajihah6935]

I wonder what you do for a living to afford this bag 😢😢..

[@KatL]

Hi dear! you'll be able to afford it too! lots of hard work, sacrifice and save save save!
