Hi everyone!!!! Hope you’re all doing well. I need help to think this through. I want to get a new bag and I can’t decide among a Chanel WOC, the LV Mylockme BB and the Pochette Grenelle.
The difference in price is less than $150.
1- It would be an everyday bag
2- I only use crossbody bags. No totes or satchels
3- I have a Boy Chanel WOC in black and I love it. That’s why I am in doubt. I would get a classic woc or another boy in chevron or classic in gray (when available)
4- I love flap bags
5- It doesn’t have to be in these colors. I am attaching pictures for reference.
I know the size difference is significant but I wonder if Chanel is better than Louis.
thank you for your insight.

Since you already have a WOC from Chanel, I would go LV to diversify my collection. Alos, because both the LVS seems like they are JUST a bit bigger, they might actually be more versatile for you because a WOC is a WOC , and will only ever fit what WOCs can fit, so it might not be as useful for you to have two bags with the same functionality. That said, if Chanel is your favorite brand, and you would rather have a million identical chanels just because having CHanel makes you happy, then get the WOC!

If you're choosing between the two LVs, I'd say get something with a top-handle AND cross body chain. I find having this combo is GREAT for functionality because it makes getting in and out of the car so much easier. Top handles can help you maneuver through tight spaces with your lux bags much more easily in my opinion.

Thank you for your thorough reply!!!! I appreciate it very much!!! I love Chanel but their prices are getting ridiculous and LV offers so much more for the price point. Thank you again!!!
