I love that pink! I have the exact black combo you show there and I love it. I actually use my bag quite often to run errand these days. I’m not thrilled with the wear, quite honestly. My bag showed corner wear pretty quickly with little use and no over stuffing. Perhaps that’s the way it is, but I had higher expectations for Chanel. Still, I love mine and do recommend the WOC.
). As for the wear and tear - if you plan to use the bag frequently, you will probably suffer some wear regardless of the leather. It seems counterintuitive but I think the size of the WOC is right at the sweet spot for increased wear…it’s so light that i find that it gets flung around a lot more than my larger bags (ex: if you lean forward, it often flies forward with you, potentially hitting something), yet it’s still large enough that the sides can protrude and get dinged up. I find when I’m carrying a larger bag I’m more aware of the bag, if that makes sense, so I tend to be much more careful with it.
You paid retail price - I would return it.
Pardon if I am too direct but it is very insolent from the seller to sell such an item to someone. At least the seller could have go a bit down with the price. Some people are using the situation that the items are hard to get and I think this is not correct and they should ban at least the seller.
Rectangular mini holds more because of its greater depth. Both can be worn crossbody, but rectangular mini has shorter chain length than woc and most people find it to be a good crossbody length. The WOC chain has to be either shortened with a strap, a ribbon , some floss or wrapped around the flap to be an ideal crossbody length for a Woman of average height. I recently sold my mini rectangular because I find the woc more easy to wear, but many prefer the extra space that the mini offers. You can fit a small wallet or cardholder instead of having to stick your cards in the slots of the woc.
