I love my WOC. I tried to purchase a caviar mini in store but it's never in stock. I settled for the WOC and find that it's so versatile. I use it more than my caviar medium boy and classic flap.
Whenever I travel and go to weddings I bring my WOC

I haven’t had any problems with it so far.
Good to know, thank you.
I may try it with the clip first, then get it shortened if need be.
I use my WOC more than any of my other bags. It is just SO handy, I have black caviar SHW and I take it everywhere from the grocery store to a nice dinner. The only thing it doesn't fit that I usually carry is a water bottle, which I would only take if I was leaving the house for a long time in which case I wouldn't use the WOC anyway
I can vouch for the owner, Mark Balian. He's honest, reasonably priced, and does great work. I have sent two bags to him.

I know this is an older thread, but I absolutely love my WOCs too! I held off on the WOC for a long time because I thought the rectangular mini was the perfect size for me. However, since I got the WOC, I like it much better because it's lighter weight, flatter and sits better across my body, and the chain is more comfortable. I use a base shaper to maximize the space inside, and use dental floss to thread through the chain to shorten it. I now have 2 WOCs (19B burgundy caviar LGHW and 20B so black lambskin), and am also trying to get the classic black caviar SHW for travel. I still love my rectangular mini in black caviar LGHW, but it doesn't get used nearly as much as my WOC.

It's actually LeatherPros. I'm not familiar with Modern Leather.Thank you for the added vote of confidence for Modern Leather!
I've had a red leather WOC for several years now it's my go to. Recently put my name down for a black leather WOC but of course the wait is 9-12 months :'(
Wow, for a woc, that’s long. I was able to get mine in Singapore in less than 2 weeks. I’m sure US has more stocks than SG and stocks there are replenished more often. Have you tried a different boutique?
It may depend on your store. I got one a few months ago….. the wait was less than 2 months.
I’m surprised to hear all your comments on the wait time for wocs! I just texted an SA today about its availability and he was able to sell one to me on the spot. Btw I’ve only bought 2 bags so far so it’s not like a have a long history there so I think the SA is a great contact. msg me if you want his info, not sure if they have any in stock but like I said I think he’s very nice and responsive so it wouldn’t hurt to try!
just got one and been loving it so far. was against it for so long because i don't use a wallet and thought it was literally just a wallet on a chain with no extra room for phone, keys, etc. can't believe how much i've been missing out not only on the style/function/different ways to wear but also alllll the earlier/lower prices.
