Finally decided to purchase my first Chanel, so I went to the Honolulu boutique about 2 weeks ago and found this black caviar wallet on chain with cc logo on the chain and light gold hardware. Was going in for a classic mini flap but of course those are hard to come by....but I found this and totally fell in love with it. I think this WOC is better than the classic WOC since this batch of leather feels a lot more sturdier. Features black interior lining, plastic zipper, and shorter chain length (perfect for me since I'm petite).
Unfortunately the first day I used it, I noticed a loose stitching on the back smile pocket, so I sent in for a complimentary stitching repair after using it once. Now...time to wait for 4 to 6 weeks

Hi. Is the price on this woc the same as the classic woc?
 
I got this seasonal flap from 22C in this exact size and colour and I absolutely love it! I have not seen this bag in the caviar version, just in lambskin metallics (the silver/ black combo is stunning too!) but it looks much better in metallic lambskin IMO, the caviar looked a bit too dry in the photos and videos and too casual.

I was hesitant because of the zipper at first too but now I think it’s a fresh and interesting take on a flap bag. I don’t like the zipper pulls hanging from the sides though so I prefer to have them meet in the middle hidden under the flap. My favourite way is to wear it as a shoulder bag - you can ask for a bag clip to shorten the chain.

The colour is a gorgeous chameleon - it looks very light and quite neutral in the sunlight, almost silvery, but then more intense pale gold with the gorgeous metallic pink coming through in indoor lighting. I’ve had it for a month now and worn 5 times or so already and so far no issues with colour transfer or the metallic finish. The lambskin is great quality and feels very silky yet sturdy. Also it appears that this metallic finish is more durable than on my calfskin bag. If you like metallics, go for it, this style might be back in the classic caviar leather but this colourway is so unique and you won’t see it again. I passed on my reserve at first because I wasn’t sure I would wear it a lot given that I already have a couple of metallic Chanel bags but then I just couldn’t stop thinking about it and hunted it down and I’m so glad I did. Hope this helps!
FYI there is a 22C thread (this is 22p)…
 
Is your red 22P medium CF in caviar? Do you mind sharing a picture please? :smile:
Yes CF caviar here are some pictures under different lightings.
