Hahahaha, that's what I keep telling myself! So far with all the new fall releases, I've stayed away...but, it's just super tempting! WOCs are just so easy to carry...
I bought my first Chanel in February 2011, which was a timeless WOC and it was $1250. Fast forward seven years, and the CRP is $2500. Due to CRP, I can honestly say, I will never buy another one but I will accept them as gifts. LOL The demand will continue to rise and so will the price.
I’m the proud owner of three. They’re beautiful, practical, stylish, and iconic. Luckily, I’ve never been waitlisted for any of them. I have an awesome SA, who I refer to as the handbag fairy. She’s been at Chanel for over 20 years and has found every bag that I’ve ever wanted.
Here’s a pic of my girls in timeless, classic, and boy featured in the order of purchase (from bottom to top). The boy has ruthenium matte silver/gold HW. I only buy black caviar leather bc it’s the most durable and the most practical color to compliment my wardrobe. I love them all equally.
That is so gorgeous! That’s the one I’m planning on getting next! I also wish they’d release one in the same colouring as the fall vanity with the rainbow hardware!!
I have several WOCs and they are my most used bags. There is a woman on FB who sells a base expander to maximize the usage. Her name is Adele Tipton. As someone mentioned, watch some videos and read some posts, but generally, you can really fit a lot into the bag.
I have a lot of light/bright colors so I use it more in the summer to grab and go.

Hello! I just came back from a trip to Paris where I tried everything on - medium classic flaps, minis, Gabrielle, boy and I have to say the one item that stole my heart was the Wallet on Chain! I tried the black caviar with silver hardware and it was perfect - smooshy leather, gorgeous chain detailing, felt somewhat like the classic Flap inside with the burgundy lining, and the best part - it feels so easy to wear! So yes, it's pricey for a 'wallet' but if you look beyond the name it is so much more than just a wallet and I can see I will get so much wear out of the little beauty. It just feels special. I know the classics are really beautiful, but I just feel that I won't reach for it as much. So I am going to test out the WOC and see how it goes!
For me, the strap drop of 24.5 inches was way too long. I did try the various options for the strap but in the end, it was one of my less used Chanel pieces. It was a hard decision as I loved the black caviar and classic gold metal (not the lghw) combo, the most classic combo. I think I loved the idea of the WOC but I ended up using my minis more (no fussing with the strap). Just grab and go. I sold my WOC to a lovely young lady and I must say it looked amazing on her!
If you look in the search are, there is a hundred threads on this. I did it too and decided that the woc was not for me, i wanted a real 2.55 look and then went for the mini instead..
I absolutely love my WOC. I have it in black caviar and gold hardware. I used to think I could only use large bags, but I’ve had no provlem adjusting the downsizing. I realized I really didn’t need half the stuff in my large bags. Love it. Would buy another one no problem. Good luck!!
I somewhat told myself I need to go to Ban island....LOL....we'll see I'll try to be really good towards the end of the year
And YES!!!!! I agree WOCs are easy to carry. WOCs truly works for me and I believe they're my greatest
