For those who use base shapers, do you recommend getting one with the side flaps, or one with just the support at the bottom of the woc?

I got the one for the bottom only. I personally dont like how the one with the side flaps stretches the leather. Here is the one I got.

So excited to get my WOC! The grains are also bigger on mine. What do you all think of the leather quality? It has a sheen on it. I also see some bunching on the side (left corner) from too close stitching. I posted about it on the Quality thread. Anyways, I am not too bothered because they are hardly visible. This was so hard to get! Seemed to one of the most popular Chanel bag.

Wouldn’t there be a concern of the corners of the shaper might poke into the corners of the WOC as it is leather? Hope that makes sense. I torn between what type to get. The one from Etsy takes 4-6 weeks to deliver. Thanks!

Mine does not because the one I got has rounded shape corners and the leather material of the one I got is soft, not like those cardboard types of shapers.

Hi ! Any chance you can share a link to where you got yours? I don't come across many that aren't cardboard based. I like how this is still soft enough to bend but hopefully structured enough to create a good base.

Here you go. I can say it is definitely structured enough to create a good base without stretching or poking the leather

The leather looks beautiful! I don't see the bunching at all. Yours also looks puffier than other pics of WOC's I've seen, especially the top where the leather bends to the back. Enjoy!
