Here is my dilemma...
I am going to get the Jumbo Flap in Beige for sure, very sure next week.
And reading this thread makes me want the WOC as well. I did have a petite Gucci belt bag that I use when I go running around hand-free, sold it and about to get the bigger one. If I get the WOC, I won't get the Gucci belt bag of course... So, now thinking about the price, does it worth it to use it once/wk? My friend said no... she said the Jumbo Flap worth the money, but not the WOC... What do u think?
I searched for modeling pix of WOC, but can't find any... the WOC pic itself doesn't help me much. I guess I need someone to tab on my shoulder that it's ok to spend that much money to get such a small item... but of course, i want to spend my money wisely...

Gucci belt bag $455
Chanel WOC $1150

I got one recently and probably use it about once a week, too - even though, it is small, because of its usefulness, I think it is worth the money. Think of it as a wallet and a messenger bag and an evening bag! Does that help?

ITA with pursemania, well the Jumbo is nice too but are you going to use a jumbo everyday?

I have the belt bag & I wore it a lot when my son still a baby. It's great being hand-free. But, after wearing for about a year or so, the fabric at the corners began to wear & the belt that attach to the bag started to come off. I guess maybe I put too much in the bag. But no, I only put my cell & wallet & a diaper & some wipes.

I would suggest WOC as they are leather & you will not go wrong with the style. It's classic. BTW, isn't WOC selling at $13xx?

Ceci - i am looking at the Caviar, so it's only $1150, but just saw the metallic navy $1425, and it's very very very nice...

Here are some modeling pics of WOC. I just bought the same one, and it is gorgeous.

Do you think the chain of the WOC is too long? Or do you think that's the style?

BrownEyedGurl · Jun 20th, 2008, 01:41 PM

I like the length of it, so you can wear it across your body comfortably, as well as looping it twice and having it be a shoulder bag, or looping it 3 times and having it be a little wristlet!

What does WOC stand for?

Swanky Mama Of Three · Jun 20th, 2008, 02:01 PM

Wallet on Chain.

yes, it's that long so it can easily be worn messenger style or double or even tripled for shorter lengths. That's my favorite thing about it!

lilobubbletea · Jun 20th, 2008, 02:01 PM

I think it's a good length to wear it across the body or use it as a double/triple chain depending on your preferences. It's a cute bag, I want it so badly!

Wallet on a Chain. Its a great investment

harley · Jun 20th, 2008, 02:03 PM

Is it me or has the style changed? I always thought the wallet on a chain was like a mini flat reissue which truly was a wallet - not much room.

This looks a bit puffy with room.

Swanky Mama Of Three · Jun 20th, 2008, 02:19 PM

there's several styles

here's mine:

It's like a reissue wallet with some width. It can fit my cell phone, lipsticks, powder case, etc. I am surprised how much it could fit.
