I paid $6000 for my jumbo and goddammit, I’m wearing it with yoga pants, nice outfits, moo moo’s, Birkenstock’s, whatever I want bc that’s way too much $ to pay to worry about what anyone else thinks about my style.

I actually loved the mature looks so much! I don’t consider them older or anything negative! First off they look classy, they’re very pretty and elegant. I also feel that if you buy classic like a jumbo that’s expensive and constantly try to make it look younger and too casual, it can almost become tacky. I personally prefer the mature looks with flats and coats versus sneakers and worn like a clutch! Love your videos!💕

I love the granny looks! In real life people often mistake me for my 10 yr old sons sister so I think it just depends who you are. If I dress in my casual ripped jeans and converse I am immediately looked at as a "teenage" mother or something so for some of us the mature looks work (and is needed!) especially when doing the school run LOL

Tbh I will never get that 2010 look out of my head. That's all I see when I look at any classic flap. I've seen too many fakes and now the lambskin just looks like vinyl to me :(

Before I owned a black Jumbo, I used to think it looked mature for ladies. But when I tried it on at the boutique wearing a maxi dress, I was swooned! My husband thought no bag in the world made the pairing looked perfect yet effortless. So, I got the bag with GHW in an instant and have been wearing it with dresses or simple preppy outfits. I can never carry the small or medium for its shorter strap for my height and built.

I think I'm a 70 year old lady in a 27 year old body. I love the mature outfits 😂

I may be an outlier, but I LOVE the “mature” look! I don’t feel it is “older” so much as “formal” 💖

You’re right about the trying to hard. I’ll never carry Hermes and wear rockstuds, I just use one luxury thing at a time. It amps up the class to do it that way.

larger bags are back and this bag is iconic, can't look bad with anything you wear.

I have this bag and I love it. The medium flap is way too small and the jumbo fits a good amount of stuff. I don’t really think about how I wear it and what outfits I wear it with, because I love it and will want to use it with any outfit. I paid a ton of money for this bag so I’m gonna get the wear out of it regardless of how I look!

The most humble KZreadr. Lots of love 💕

Love the video! Very nice tips to make the jumbo bag work.

I love mature outfits! Pearls, brooches, tweed jackets, cap toe pumps, I love it all. Your second moodboard for the jumbo is literally my shopping bag on Zalando that I have yet to check out 😂 I want to buy a new bag for my upcoming birthday and I’ve seen some crossbody Aspinal of London and Coach bags that I like but I just KNOW I’ll never use them if I can’t even fit a water bottle, wallet and small cosmetics pouch in it 😩

Great topic. I have the Chanel medium flap bag. I wanted the jumbo originally, but got the medium because I felt it was more youthful. I wear it with jeans or dresses. It goes with everything!

As I am definitely of mature age now the jumbo suits me down to the ground. I find it goes with so much and can be easily dressed up or down. The problem with the smaller sizes is that they hold very little and I have found that the older I get the bigger the list of essentials gets, so my small bags have all had to go over the past 10 years or so. The beauty with the jumbo is that you may have to think carefully about styling it when you are young but it's a bag that will still look great when you are 80, so it really is a bag for life, not just right now.

Imo, this is over thinking...ANY chanel bag looks good, jumbo, medium, WOC, own your look and move on. Make sure your clothes are tailored impeccably tweed jacket or otherwise and the look with the bag will be over the moon. I totally disagree - your neck looks amazing in the round collar jacket. And you look taller and leaner .

I’m 5ft and I own the Chanel Jumbo in patent, I wore it for my 50th with a white beautiful Spring cotton dress. I later looked at pictures and I think it looked overwhelming for my size. I never used it again. Since then I purchased the medium, mini, and several wallets & love the look much more.

Agreed never liked the Chanel jumbo. Medium or small is so much more prettier and elegant

It's such a shame that you tubers have to say "no disrespect to anyone who likes....." every time they voice an opinion to avoid being trolled. We are such a fragile society that we are so easily offended by someone expressing an opinion that contrasts with their own. 😢

Never thought about it this way, but you are so right Sophie! Thank you for doing the video. Dressing this bag down makes a lot of sense!!

The older looks as you call it look more elegant and sophisticated!the younger looks look average in my opinion

I have this bag and use it with a casual or business casual look! I don't go to the extent of overthinking my outfit! When I spend that much money on a handbag, and I have quite a few, I want to be able to wear it with ANYTHING with the exception of an evening look!!

Congratualations on 300k, Sophie! Been here since before you hit the 100k mark, glad to see you've only changed for the better and stayed humble ❤️️

Thank you so much for your videos! At a time like this it’s so nice to have a positive person talk about something useful.

Now that I don't work and I don't have small kids to attend meetings or meet teachers, I find myself dressing more casual. So, I too am having a hard time finding bags that would go with my everyday outfits. The highlight of my week is usually food shopping. So, I have been handing things down to my daughter from when I used to work. But she thinks they are too fancy for her and she has to explain that they were handdowns to her co-workers, so my things makes her uncomfortable in work setting. She just started working this year. I guess when I die they will just throw my stuff out.

ann hans eh, your daughter might appreciate them when she’s older. I think just going into the workplace I agree with her that it could give off the ‘princess’ vibe, that she’s from money and hasn’t worked herself to get that position. Not that’s reality, just you don’t want to give off that image as a young person

Thanks for another great video Sophie! I can't say enough how much they brighten my day, you're a lovely person! 💙 Looking forward to the next video already!!! Hugs from Argentina!

Personally for me I own the classic Jumbo in red caviar leather with silver hardware and it works as a crossbody bag ... which I love ... for some reason the chain is a bit longer than the Reissue ... it’s size is perfect for me and I don’t feel like I have to dress it up or down. The best compliment I ever got was at a Chanel boutique here in NYC ... I was wearing my jumbo and had placed it on the glass case as I was purchasing another Chanel item. A lady customer walked in and picked up my bag and wanted to buy it ! The Sales Associate was pretty impressed at the condition it was in ... saying she’d be able to sell that bag in a flash. I don’t wear my Chanel’s to please others or to show that I have one ... to this day it is my most versatile bag and I’ve had it now for close to 12 years.

So insightful! Thank you for this video Sophie!! ❤️❤️❤️

Some good advice and I feel that if a woman has warm colouring that she suits gold-coloured hardware and if a woman has cool colouring that she suits silver-coloured hardware.

I love this video! The content was very helpful and I would love to see you do this with other popular Lux items. Thanks for combining and putting a twist on a typical lux handbag use / outfit styling videos.

I think that if I wanted to purchase a jumbo, I would go vintage single flap. It just is a cooler vibe then the stiff double flap. I think that the broken in, lambskin with gold hardware in the single flap vintage looks great with jeans and t-shirts.

I loved the mature outfit 😅 and I’m 27

That’s some very strong opinions u have towards the rock studs w the classics flap. I say as long as the person wearing it is happy in it than go for it. I would recommend to the person asking this question, if you get a colored classic flap if instantly makes if youthful. Also if u already don’t dressed “older” than wearing it w ur current wardrobe won’t look like it. I live in LA and tons of people have it. You can wear it edgy clothing or street wear and it looks very good! Good luck on deciding.

I love the black with silver hardware it matches everything!! Love your style Sophie🔥🎀🔥

Great video! I love videos like this that give you suggestions and things to think about when putting an outfit together. Thank you.

I see it as classy and mature. Try going to any luxury resort and see the difference in how you are treated. Yes I also use it jeans and ballet flats when I fly. Agree with you about round neck jackets however if you have a short neck the alternative jacket makes your neck disappear. Thanks for the break. Back to the hospital I go.

Thanks for this look-book. You looked beautiful in all the outfits.

This is so great and extremely helpful do more like this I like that you borrowed your jumbo from your grandma and put it with a pair of sneakers how perfect

Yes sneakers n denim can make bags look less formal. 👍🏼 thanks for sharing my lady! ❤️😘😘😘Sandy

watching your video is making me still sane. thank you

Hello Sophie ! I think that before buying a luxury bag , I would go through my entire wardrobe . I mean if you prefer pastel colours , a Chanel in black would create too much contrast and if you enjoy beige-y nuances , well with a Chanel in nude the overall look would be a little bit dull. The Chanel classic flap ( no matter in which size ) is elegant in a very minimalist way . I would rather choose it in dark green or blue or grey to style it better ( dress up or down) with my own wardrobe . I am one of those persons who dont' like black and beige . I like your tips . You have a beautiful collection of Chanel and Dior bags in differnet colours and I would enjoy to see how you style them . Greetings from Paris !

I agree with you Sophie, I love this bag on you with the classic elegant look and it also looks good with the sneakers too!

This was a great idea for a video and fantastic advice! I would love to see your advice on styling other mature items, like Chanel brooches and tweed jackets in general.

You nailed this video. This is why I can’t stop watching your channel!

Hi Sophie, hi everyone! I totally get this question. I've had the Chanel Jumbo for little over a year now and I honestly love this bag, even though it is quite heavy. During summer I love wearing it with classic high waisted light blue jeans and an oversized white shirt or a pair of denim shorts and a simple silk shirt. During winter it looks great with leather leggings, chunky boots (love to wear the Balenciaga ceinture ones) and an oversized Acne sweater, like the Raya one. Btw, I scrrrrreamed when you put the bag next to the Louboutins. It's such a 2010 look. 😅

wow. This was a really helpful video. I own a jumbo (with gold chain...) and have been thinking about this problem especially since nowadays small bags are more in. I absolutely love your suggestions and pairings. I will look through my closet to see what I can pair with. Like some famous designer said.... when it comes to fashion... imbalance is the perfect balance.

Thank you thank you thank you!!! I got my first Chanel classic flap M/L a couple of months ago and I have been having the same styling dilemma. I am 36 so I don’t want to look older but I also don’t want to pretend I am 18 either. Work- style clothes seemed aging but too casual is too far. The outfit with the coat and sneakers nailed it for me. Overall your suggestions were so polished and youthful and it really put me in the right frame of mind. The video I didn’t realise I needed honestly!

Good to know you read viewers comments. You mentioned in this video and previous video you don't use these bags for work. Please can you share your work bag collection and why you prefer them.

lovely video, gave me some ideas 😍😍😍

I love the Jumbo as much as the next size down. If I'm away working all day I need the larger size, anything smaller won't do. If I'm just out for lunch or to an event then I'll use the medium size - Just love them! Thanks for the outfit inspiration Sophie xx

Hey Sophie! I'm so glad you mentioned the point of making the bag look like it isn't your own, more like something that has been handed down because the bag is quite "serious" looking. In my humble opinion, this thought process can be applied to any other truly classic bag, for example, the Hermes Kelly and Birkin, the Lady Dior but also the LV Capucines, all in black leather with either gold or silver hardware. I think that the "seriousness" can be mitigated if these "serious" bags were done in a color other than black or nude. By the way, I love your videos, you're so genuine, insightful and personable!

I'm not sure why I'm interested in this. A Channel bag is definitely an item I will never have to worry about styling, not just because I can't afford it, but my taste is much more casual. However I liked seeing how much you changed the vibe of that one one item with different outfits.

You are a genius! I didn’t know how you were going to make that bag look good. I’m middle age and I consider it to be an old lady bag but you made it look good.

Great tips Sophie!!! Thank you!❤️

This size looks to me as an everyday bag that works with anything. Simple with flair. It’s not something I have...not a fan of the quilted styles. I do love the idea of having it resemble something you borrowed from someone else - a new perspective on my dressing. I’m all about silver.

Chanel black patent leather jumbo bag with silverware looks modern and chic, also still keeps details of the bag😍

Oh! ...absolutely love this video. You’re the best, Sophie. 💕🌟I love the idea of looking like you’ve just borrowed it!. Genius. I have a classic/feminine style and it’s so easy to get stuck in a rut where everything is structured. Gets boring, very quickly. I’d prefer to wear the Chanel CF with more casual clothes on weekends, and probably enjoy it much more. 💫🦋🥰

Good tips ❤️

I think jumbo is coming back, I see streetstylers with jumbo or maxi versions and if they mix it right it looks cool, also I see ladies with jumbo here in Stockholm, looks quite classical. For me a bit big but if it will be on purpose big, I think it's interesting! Especially when fashion and trends come back I think it's better not to sell it if you have it. Trend for bigger bags is on!

Sophie you look amazing on those high waisted jeans 👏👏👏i always struggle to buy good fitting jeans and I really love those on you.....thank you for uplifting us😘😘😘

Loved your video! I always found that the jumbo always gives me airport style vibes (not that I own one) but I think because of the size of it in my opinion I think looks better with more casual/loungewear outfits, Whereas the small/medium look better with smarter looks but still looks good with casual vibes as well X

Sophie, well done on this video, as always. First of all, I'm a mature lady, and I lovvvvvved the mature outfit you put together! Classic! I also loved the more youthful outfits, especially with the jeans. Great info for anyone thinking of getting the bag or who already owns it. You really can never go wrong with black trousers, ever, I think. They give you so many options. One of my go- tos is a black pencil skirt, a wardrobe basic for me with my job.

im obsessed everytime i watch your videos! hope that one day mine are as helpful and popular as yours!

I prefer the maxi to the jumbo - the proportions are better and if you’re going to get a big bag to hold everything, then just get the bigger version. You can fit items in a lot more comfortably. My Maxi is black caviar with silver hardware. I’ve actually wore the jumbo kind of like the Gabrielle bag with one strap around the neck and one on the shoulder - I’m 5’6”. Now that I’m older, I prefer the medium size for a smaller bag. I personally see the maxi and jumbo as more fall winter bags - mainly because they are heavy looking and also the straps are longer to accommodate bulky coats. How can one style the Valentino rockstuds? I’ve got the 100 mm heels and the kitten heels in both the black and neutral colours.

Thank you for this Sophie, I always feel bad caring so much about this sort of thing, what bag to get, how to style it, etc. because my work revolves around quite a lot of depressing world events and it’s easy to think, well the world has bigger problems why do I care about a bag. BUT I LOVE IT! I love fashion and luxury and that’s okay too, thank you for giving us a space online to be passionate about luxury goods without judgement ❤️✌️ I hope you’re well

This is the exact problem I have with this bag! I thought I am just too young to own it...can’t find a way to wear it even tho it looks gorgeous sitting on the shelf lol. Too big and heavy for 5’3”.
