I have 4 WOCs (black, blue, silver, and pink). The more life changes (I'm a new mother with a 15 month old baby), the more I realize WOCs don't really fit my lifestyle anymore. They're just too small...can barely hold my phone and lipstick. I never thought I would say this but I'm actually thinking about selling some of the WOCs and replacing them with minis (still want a crossbody style). Anyone else feel this way?

I'm thinking of buying a WOC instead of a mini because it seems like the mini only holds slightly more. What things do you imagine carrying in your mini that won't fit in your WOC? Maybe I should consider a mini instead?

I definitely prefer the WOC over the mini.
Its much lighter and as u said the mini doesn’t really hold much more.
I use my mini occasionally just because i have it but the WOC us much more convenient.
So, i highly recommend the WOC.

I think the mini fits much more than the woc (although I don't really carry much to start with). The strap of the woc is a bit long for me and I like that the turn lock of the mini keeps my things more secure.

Does anybody know if the inside is the same as in the classic WOC? Thought this might be a nice color for summer :) Is it from the SS Collection or older?

TIA

Late to the party but after having other Chanel bags I finally bought my first WOC, the purple from 20S. Now I want another! What season did they change from snap closure to the magnetic? Thanks all!

Congrats! I hesitated on the WOC for ages because I wasn't sure how useful it was. After using it on a 2 week long trip to Italy last summer, I was sold! The magnetic closure is fairly recent. Last season? Maybe another poster knows exactly. Mine has the snap closure and I have no issues with it, but I know some here really love the magnetic. Enjoy your WOC!
 
Hi guys! Been eyeing on a rose gold woc from 19p and found it from a reseller but there are scuffs on the corners. Does anyone know of chanel can fix it for me if I pay them?

Thank you! I agree this will be great for travel to hold essentials and I’m tall so I love the chain length.

I am sorry, I can’t help you with the scuffs. Maybe Leather Surgeons? But I just wanted to say that I purchased this bag a few months ago and absolutely love it! It’s such a beautiful color.

I’m a mother to two boys and when they’re younger, you definitely have to carry more things. But now that they are 8 and 5, I want to carry less things. Especially now that I have shoulder problems from over filled diaper bags. Maybe keep the neutral colored wocs?

honestly, I dont think that minis hold much more. You will have to use at least a card holder in the mini which then also adds up space..

Hi,
I bought my Classic WOC 2017 model in 2018, preloved. The snap on it started to pop open only 2 months after use. I think I have to exchange the snap.
Now these days I've discovered that the Chanel stamp has started to fade away/flaking. The CC logo is either not centered, as I am taking a closer look.

Do I have any chances to get a new from the Chanel store? And if not, how much does it cost to repair those "mistakes" or what you call it?

Thank you in advance
 
I had 5 WOCS and sold 2, thinking about selling another one but it’s the color I don’t have yet in a flap so I’ll keep it for now. What I’m trying to say is go for it, I’m a WOC person and then I’m not. I’d go for mini or a small. Wocs can still work for me but I love varieties now and having that many of the same style is redundant sometime.

I read in an earlier post that the newer WOCs chains are shorter than previous years’ WOCs. I’m interested in getting the classic style with the new magnet closure, but I’m almost 5’10” tall and like a 24-25” drop. This was my last hope (except for a Gabrielle) for a crossbody from Chanel.
Please, could anyone tell me the drop length of their new WOC? Thank you in advance.
