Hello ladies. I’ve recently just purchased my first Chanel bag: Classic flap medium/large black caviar with ghw. I’m also thinking of getting the classic woc in black caviar. Would you recommend the woc in terms of its versatility for a petite person like me? Is it worth it as my second Chanel “bag”? Should I still go for the ghw or try shw?
I love my WOCs. My SA actually prefers them to the classic flaps. I’d go for the black WOC with silver hardware.
The woc is only great if youre a person who only carry around your cards, cash, 1 phone, 1 tissue pack and 1 lipstick.
It's more of a wallet/clutch for date nights etc. If you're a person who carry more you won't like it.
Hardware wise. It depends on your own personal preference. If you wear gold accessories or silver. Gold is more classy, while silver is more young and casual. Price wise I think its has gotten too pricey for a wallet on chain and its small capacity.
Woc chains are too long for shoulder carry for petite. You have to double loop it or tie a ribbon to shorten it.
Recommend to get the classic with back pocket with new design of magnetic Button closure and metal zip on the top love letter zip compartment.
Just received my WOC back from Leather Surgeons and I’m utterly amazed at the rehab they did. She’s absolutely beautiful now

Soexcited with this!
I wanted to share my new square woc vs rectangular woc. As you can see my rectangular one took a beating!! I frequently wished it was only slightly bigger with a magnetic enclose- wish granted yay!
I loved to use it while travelling. Passport, pen, tissues, money. The annoying thing was my sunglasses stretched it a bit and was difficult to close. Can’t wait to try the square.

I think old WOC is beautiful. That is how we show them our love. New one isn’t too shabby, either. Thanks for pics.

Hi ladies, Sorry if this question was asked already but I think many of you probably feel same way like me. I am curious and can I ask you guys who own snap closure Classic WOC? Do you ever wish to sell your snap closure WOC to re-purchase new magnet closure WOC? Or did you already sell and bought new magnet closure?
I hope to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance

I have the snap closure. I have no intention to sell. I have had no problems with my WOC.
Great! Thanks for sharing!
I love my WOC too and snap closure is no problem to me. However I am very curious this new update may change people's preference of selling snap ones and buying new magnet closure...? 
Hi. I have a snap closure and bought a new woc yesterday with magnetic closure. I won’t sell my snap closure for another magnetic woc but I can’t compare yet, The zip pull is different too. It’s no longer a YKK zip. It’s now a metal pull with CC on it.Hi ladies, Sorry if this question was asked already but I think many of you probably feel same way like me.

Went into the boutique today to ask for a mini rectangle and see if it was possible to be signed on a waiting list. Then suddenly the SA took out a reissue WOC black on black / so black and I got carried away and bought it...! The SA went on and on about how difficult it was to find them in all black and that this was the only one they had and so on. I just didn't want to let i go and found myself buying even if I really can not afford this at the moment. Now I want to hear what you all think of this style / this WOC? I do not have any WOC yet and had planned to buy a classic WOC later on but now I find myself with this. Is it really that sought after even though it is "just a WOC"? Do you think that this item will hold it's value / resale well if I change my mind? Would you stick with this or return it...? Hit me!

I would definitely keep it.
I purchased that exact WOC last February and I love it.
It is my first WOC and was considering a 2.55 ( reissue) WOC and as I saw that all black couldn't resist. And I guess it is not always available as the Classic WOC.
The WOC is very practical ,in my opinion more than the rectangular mini ,it is light weight and that model in specific is soooo elegant.
It's my favorite Chanel piece.

How do you find the leather? Does this type of leather scratch easily / do you have to watch out? I do not really now how it is compared to caviar or lambskin...? Do you think it is possible to for ex. put in a larger tote sometimes without worrying that something might scratch it?
