The WoC - Wallet on Chain thread

[Oniomania]

Hi ,
I am considering to get the woc but am worried that the chain will cut the corners of the wallet with use . Do you all have this issue ? Appreciate your input thanks

Yes, i do. I dont think its worth to get new magnet version in exact same combo tho.if u decide to purchase the magnetic WOC, i suggest to sell the old version. Since i get the new one i been using it only lol. I got it because of the magnetic closure, it is so convenient to open n close. Like care free whenever u need to close your woc you dont hav to to look at your woc to close ( like the snap closure one) The only minus is about the strap, i personally like long strap on me ( im 5’6 ) but if you 5’2 or 5’4 the strap is perfect tho. overall its good, im happy with the new one, i got it for $2450 tho. Which is a good deal (;

Thats good to know, Thanks for the input. Actually I am lazy to buy and sell myself and I decided to stick to my original WOC I've been loving and using for years now ( snap closure one ) but its nice to hear that you love using your new one, Congrats again

I don't have any issue on mine but i don't use it everyday bases and never overstuff in it.

the 19B woc the strap length is lil bit shorter compared to 17b woc

Hi chasnellover, so glad to see I am not the only one to own two black classic WOCs - one in GHW and the second with SHW. For me, they are two different bags. Do you feel the same way? Cheers,

Purchased my first Chanel in Japan since we don’t have a store in NZ, joining in the woc club! Caviar leather with silver hardware and the new magnetic closure! I am so in love!

Does anyone have the Gabrielle WOC? I’m debating on adding this to my collection. I have a boy WOC, mini, M/L classic and a 2.55 chevron. I’m not the biggest fan of the Gabrielle designs in general but the WOC is growing on me. But my local stores don’t have them in stock for me to check out in person. What your thoughts are on this bag?

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 am in the same situation! I saw the same bag today and had to have it! Did not plan to buy anything and was disappointed that this WOC is priced $700 more than the classic. DId you keep the bag? Not sure what to do...

I saw it at my local boutique. I wasn’t impressed with the overall quality. The prices are increasing and the quality is decreasing. I remember when WOCs were $1k and quality was impeccable. For $3000, the bag should be perfect.

3k for a WOC? I think that's crazy!

Mine is caviar leather, and I have not had that issue with it.

Ladies, I'm having such a hard time deciding between getting the WOC or the rectangular Mini. At first, i was going to go for the WOC. I like the elegant look of it and how we can easily dress it up or down. It seems to be travel friendly and easy to carry around. But i'm a little concerned about the limited space of it. I don't like putting all my cards inside the WOC and having to transfer them everytime i change purses. I'd rather have them in a compact wallet and easily move it in or out when i need to.
My question is, would a compact wallet like for example the LV Victorine fit into the WOC along with an Iphone or would things get too tight and force the purse to look bulky?

I do not carry a separate wallet, but I do carry a Cles in my WOC; my car fob is loose outside the Cles. I also could fit a LV folio with my iPhone X before I got a new phone. When I added a Chanel passport case, the folio no longer fit and I just used a slim Apple phone case. I add lip balm, pocket tissues, small lippy, etc. I love her for travel, and she is an easy small day bag. However, the ability to carry all my necessary cards within WOC without an additional wallet is a huge part of why I love my WOC.

I kept it and I love it - However, it still bothers me that is was more pricy than the classic WOC... but that’s just the way it is I suppose. Did you get one?

Yes, I got the same one. It is more pricy then the classic WOC, but I like the look more. Plus reissue WOC is lighter then the classic and the chain is shorter, that is a big plus for me because I am 5’3’’
