I’m trying to decide the same! I’m only leaning toward WOC because I prefer the caviar leather so much more. I have a backpack in caviar and I don’t have to baby it. The mini in lamb scares me, I don’t want to have to baby it BUT for the price the mini is a bigger bag.

I’m new to these 2 style of bags, is it pretty much impossible to walk in and purchase one? I’ve been watching YouTube and most people say they are sold before they hit the floor

minis are almost impossible to find in store unless you have a good SA (I don’t even have one because I buy preloved lol). For me it’s more the square mini but as you I’m concern about lamb skin.
I sold my lady dior because I was too afraid of wearing it. But this one is pretty small so maybe it will be better to use.

For me, a WOC is an absolute must because it’s perfect for travel, long walks, movies, shows, parks, and anywhere you go when you don’t want to think about (of feel) your bag. It sits flat to your body and you don’t even know it’s there. You can keep it on at the movies (that is, when we all used to go to movies), and you can wear it under your coat in crowded places.

All that said, I have a bunch of square and rectangular minis, too, and I adore all of them, but they’re bulkier, so I use them differently. You can fit roughly the same amount in a WOC as a mini because you don’t need a wallet with the WOC. I can fit my cards, cash, phone, AirPods, keys, sunglasses (in a soft pouch), and lipstick.

Huge fan of the WOC. Just got another one in pale green caviar!

thank you! I was pretty sure to buy a square mini before reading your comments hahah. Now I don’t know anymore.

I will bought preloved so probably in lamb skin either it’s WOC or mini. I have a crush for mini square to be honest. So cute ! But I’m afraid it’s too small ! It is ?

It’s indeed super cute! :love: :girlsigh: Tbh my mini square can fit more than my mini rectangular because the square has more depth and height, such that I can fit more of my items (e.g., my phone, Chanel zippy coin purse and LV key pouch) in rows one after another and still have room on the top to put more items (e.g., my lipstick and tissues). But it’s just for the items I like to carry. If you have longer items to put in, than rectangular might be a better option. Hope that helps. :flowers:

I walked into the Chanel in San Francisco with zero purchase history and walked out with a classic WOC. They had both lambskin and caviar in stock.

I'm recommend against WOC. There's too little space and have an upper zip problem that will press or scratch the leather. You should get both mini, square one for your chilling day and rectangular one for your glamurous day.

Hey everyone just curious what you would pick out of the 2 and why?

I wear almost exclusively dark colours so if I were to purchase I would get black but let me know what you would go for I love to hear and take into account other peoples opinions on colours and styles

thanks for your votes/answers below in advance :smile:

A few things to consider: mini is harder to come by and it is now only made in lambskin whereas the WOC has more availability and does come in both lambskin and caviar. Both bags are crossbody unless you want to invest in a pearl crush version then you can resize the strap to make the piece more versatile. I think due to the look, the woc can be worn both day and night whereas mini looks a little more casual. For travel, woc does take less space and easier to pack than mini. Unsure if you already have a classic flap but if not, I would choose the mini rectangular since it fits more comparing to the WOC while also giving you that classic flap look and I believe it also has higher reselling value comparing to woc. But if you already have a classic flap then a woc would add a new variety to your current collection. I would also consider your lifestyle and think about which you will get the most use out of. Hope this help!

I would go with getting a mini first if you can find one. I like WOCs for errands but, I can’t fit my sunnies in them. I constantly risk losing/having my sunnies fall off my head/shirt when shopping indoors. I scratched my Chanel sunnies that way. :(
