I do not have a WOC but I enjoy the beautiful colors whenever I see them on others, like @redjellybean above. I think, like other "SLG" items, you can experiment with them and not feel like it's too much because a smaller item can be less in your face in a vibrant or crazy color. I have had my eye on the holographic one from 21s I believe, and may go for it if I ever find it. I know there are a few kinds of WOC, but I will say I see the Trendy WOC the most when I'm out and about these days - seems like folks just want something to fit the essentials plus a mask. I don't think you can go wrong if you are the type of person that knows you will have evening/special events to attend and want something easy to run errands with.

I have one and only WOC, which I got as present from my mother, so it has a lot of sentimental value for me and I love it. Unfortunately, I never managed to get used to it, I guess because of its flat shape and long chain. I must however say that it is a very versatile bag, perfect for ladies travelling often for business and having limited space available, since it can serve multiple purposes.

I have two wocs and two mini rectangle bags. I like the woc. Like everyone says, it's easy to use and I feel it's more carefree and less bulky than the mini rectangular bag, especially when I need to go out and about. Also both my wocs are caviar and my mini rectangle bags are lambskin which makes a huge difference..

I feel that the woc carries everything I need.. I only carry a flat card case, key fob, and my phone. I put my phone in my jacket or pants pocket if I can.. sometimes I carry another bag like a tote to carry hand sanitizer, water, and kids stuff (or put all these in my kids backpack lol).

I also like how the woc can be used as a clutch to nice dinners (tuck in the chain strap) and also you can put it in your tote/bag easily too (so easy to travel with).

One of my woc (15) is the old button clasp and the newer one (20k) is the magnetic clasp. Man.. the magnetic clasp is amazing!

However buy what you want. I think you'll eventually end up buying the other bag style anyways too lol. Chanel is a true addiction.

I never own a woc and never got my head around a woc, so my vote is not worth it!

For what you are paying it’s better to add a bit more to get a mini flap or mini2.55 or spend less to get a big pouch bag, or coin purse with chain if you want that chain element.

I would only buy a woc if I like a certain one off colour from one season, and can’t find in a flap bag, for example last year’s 2.55 reissue iridescent I would consider a woc.

Thinking about getting a WOC as my second Chanel purchase. I currently have a medium classic in black caviar & ghw.

I want a “bag” to run out of the house & do errands with that’s a little bit more low key. I don’t carry very much with me either.

What are your thoughts on the WOC & do you think it’s the worth the price? Also if you have one let me know what style .

A WOC is perfect then! I have 3 in my collection. Go for the classic quilted WOC maybe in black w/ SHW since I have a medium with gold.

I recently bought the WOC and love it! I love how multi-functional it is - you can use it as a popping out/ running errands bag but also an evening out bag, as it works with casual and formal outfits. You can also wear it multiple ways. It’s also very elegant, understated and such a classy little bag!
