This is my first Chanel bag, had no clue how special it might have been when I purchased, pre-loved but unworn :smile: Bronze WOC Mermaid chain?View attachment 3550644

congrats dear! yes, you have the bronze iridescent goatskin WOC with iridescent rainbow hardware from Cruise 2016 collection :love: this is arguably one of the most popular and highly coveted collections that Chanel has ever released. there was green, bronze, and purple! i have the full sized purple wallet and it's one of my most favorite piece of Chanel i own!

My lovely iridescent beige woc that is from 2016 spring cruise. Goes with everything and has just the right amount of shimmer.

16C was such a gorgeous collection. so many beautiful pieces!! congrats, i love this neutral color!! can i ask if this is similar to patent leather?? or it's more matte with some shimmer? i've never seen this iridescent leather IRL.
 
I'm hoping to purchase my first WOC tomorrow :excited: I need a totally handsfree, easy to wear, cross body bag for essentials and I think the WOC will be perfect. I've got the age old dilemma of whether to go for lambskin or caviar... I want to use the bag lots and not have to baby it. Has anyone who has used their WOC lots with either finish got any advice or recommendations? I would like to go with lambskin and I'm not worried about a little wear showing just not excessive amounts... but is this a stupid idea for an everyday bag? Any advice warmly welcomed [emoji4] Thank you.

If you will use a lot then definitely caviar. It's very sturdy, in about 3 months of daily wear and travel with it, there is not one scratch, just on the hardware.

I have a caviar woc from 2011. I rotate my bags but when I do use it, I USE it. Other than darkening on the corners, the bag still looks puffy and brand new. It has been through rain hail and shine (literally - I walked through a NYC thunderstorm with it and it got soaked but once it dried, it looked brand new again!)

Here is a pic of it from yesterday! It does not look like a 6 year old bag.

Thank you so much for your reply. Your bag is such a beautiful red [emoji3] and looks amazing for 6 years of use! I think caviar definitely sounds like the sensible choice.

Very beautiful and your woc aged very well, if you never said anything I would've thought it was brand new![emoji7]
