Chanel WOC or Chanel reissue mini?

I have the WOC and I love how I can stuff it in bigger bags and travel with it. I also love how I can carry it as a clutch. However I want a reissue mini because it fits more and I’ve always wanted to own a reissue. If I get the reissue, I would definitely be selling the woc. What do you guys think?

Hi- I am also a WOC lover.
I believe the two are different enough to justify both :amuse: I feel the chain of the reissue makes it less “every day”. Just me…
But if you need space- it sounds like a good choice.

Yesterday hubby bought me my very first Chanel bag(!!), the square pearl crush mini flap with the black/white checkered ball (from the newest collection)... and I'm not sure if I have slight buyer's remorse! (Gift receiver's remorse? lol) Hubby isn't comfortable purchasing pre-loved bags, so I'm limited to what I'm able to get at the Chanel store.

I love the mini square itself (though I maybe slightly prefer the rectangle), but I'm just... not 100% sure how I feel about the ball. I don't HATE it, I just don't think I love it... it reminds me a bit of a soccer ball lol I'm mostly planning to wear the ball facing behind me anyway, so maybe it isn't a big deal, other than maybe making resale harder if I ever decide to resell? (I'm guessing the checkered ball isn't everyone's cup of tea either.)

Is this one of those "just be glad you found a mini flap in store, and enjoy what you have" situations? As someone brand new to Chanel, I'm just not sure I'll realistically be able to find another black lambskin mini flap in store in the near future (at least not before another price increase). The few other times I've gone in to Chanel before to ask about mini flaps, they either "didn't have any" or ibkt had them in non-lambskin.

I 100% agree with your thoughts

I never liked the pearl crush however I just bought one from 22S in a multicolour tweed because I really loved the different colours. I received it today and I cannot get over the ball..it seems so disproportionate to the size of the bag and the strap (I understand why its the case but still). To me it looks very weird but I will keep it because I like the tweed. I also don't like how soft the pearl crush bags are....rectangular minis are more structured. I would say if you don't love It then return and wait for a mini...if not preloved then try a personal shopper. I don't think resale is an issue if you do want to keep it as my understanding is that this model is very popular!

That is not acceptable for the House's most iconic design, the black caviar classic flap is considered the most expensive line as well. I got mine crease free from the boutique early this year.

I appreciate your reply, its also on the other corner. Ive attatched more photos.
I have no idea how i over looked this i feel so stupid.
I was shown other faulty bags even ones with a missing stitch which i did pick up on luckily but ive drove to this boutique on multiple occasions now and its not very local
I did take a photo of a previous bag i saw when choosing between the classic flap and 19 and ive noticed that also has corner creasing but on both front corners!!
The caviar is also quite soft and i wonder if its going to be prone to these creases quicker than normal.
I will be exchanging today or getting a refund. I prey they can get me another bag soon-ish as im not sure im prepared to pay a price increase and its currently a waitlist for a classic flap so im scared ill be left with no bag. Saddens me but i cant pay £7550 for a defective bag.
I will add all Staff have been very polite and helpful during the process of purchasing so hoping they can find me a solution ❤️

I hope you get the ideal bag soon without all that hassle. Chanel has been quite the bad attitude recently on quality front . I m swearing off this brand for the moment until they get their act together again.

Would anyone be able to help me? I’m desperately in need of a SA. I have an extensive buyer history with Chanel but need to make a remote purchase ASAP and having no luck with Selfridges, Harrods or ringing specific Boutiques. Does anyone have any contacts they can offer me?
