Hmmm. I have a card case which I think is a tad thinner and it fits. It does extend a bit but you know what Chanel says- never overload. Sorry I'm not much help. I primarily use my wocs as wallets inside a bigger purse, so it's pretty rare when I put my phone in too.

Finally my boy woc arrived today. Just like so many ladies on here said, the boy woc in black caviar is just absolutely beautiful. I was very lucky to get a brand new one since the boutique got several of them in :yahoo::drinks::happydance:

The one I got is 17P and Chanel has since changed the style a little bit. The flap has come all the way down, and also the front pocket is not quilted. I do like the changes cuz I think the zipper pull won't create as much of a dent since the leather is not puffy.

One other thing, mine did not come with the small protective fabric in the front, but instead just a little folded piece of gift wrap paper. I'm ok with that but the dear sa forgot to give me the camellia flower with my purchase. I'm so sad :crybaby: I don't have a standalone Chanel boutique near me, just the ones inside Neiman and bloomies. Should I just call them up and ask for the camellia still? What do u guys think?

Congrats it's a gorgeous bag! Wow, no fabric wrapper, just the paper and missing a flower? :( Personally I'd ask for the camellia AND a dust bag too.

Sorry I wasn't very clear, it did come with the dust bag, just no felt fabric under the flap to protect the dent from the zipper pull :whut:

Ah, got it! Well ok agree that's not too bad about the paper.

I still think if you're paying full price though you deserve the "whole package" with camellia on top. But if you feel it's too much trouble just jokingly tell the SA "hey you forgot my flower, next time I buy something from you, you owe me two camellias!" ;)

I have these two sisters, honestly because I loved the style but the small flap in this design was totally sold out. I also often carry a larger tote and saw myself grabbing it out of the tote as a little purse for errands and going out to lunch. I have a mini which fits the essentials much easier, but it doesn't tuck into my tote as well without getting squished.
I need some tips on how to fit the essentials into my WOCs!

Here is what I can fit:
1) my keys - house key and car key fob on Cles with credit cards and license inside.
2) nail clippers
3) small chapstick

I would also like to fit:
1) tube of concealer
2) mini compact mirror
3) dental floss

Is it possible?
Should I switch to my card case and put my keys on something else?
My phone has a big case, so that can stay in my hand.
Is the trick that you need to "expand" the WOC to its full depth from front to back? I have not used mine other than one of them once, so they are still scrunched up on the sides where the pleats are. Is there a risk of developing lumps and bumps and stretched out areas if you do fill to capacity?
Thank you for your help! [emoji173]

Hello Ladies, please help to decide which woc should I keep. The black one is in glazed black calf skin and the gray one is in caviar. I intended to have it for everyday use. What do you ladies think i should keep?

I prefer the black camellia over the boy in this case. I do not care for that shade of grey with the gold hardware. GLD

I vote for the black camellia as well. It's just so pretty and special. Also for everyday use, I prefer the black color, you can enjoy the bag without having to worry abt the color transfer :tup:

I've the black camellia WOC and love it! The black will be good against obvious stains and calfskin is durable. It's also prettier because of that camellia. If I were to only choose 1, I'll go with the camellia as the same design might not come back again. [emoji253]

Black camellia is gorgeous!!!! Especially with silver is my ultimate combo! Grey with gold isn't as striking for me in comparison...
