I use my WOC more than my Classic Flaps, Seasonal Flaps and Minis. It easy to grab and go with it anywhere and place.
Just bought my first woc (black caviar ghw). I'm in love!!
I noticed some differences with my sister's bag (the right one is mine).
The left one is made in France in march 2022, shiny, not very puffy and the strap is light gold.
The right one is made in Italy in 2022, not very shiny, very puffy and has a more yellow golden strap.
To be honest, I love them both. But what slightly bothers me is the difference in gold tone of the strap.
I understand that leather is a natural product and there can be differences, but the gold metal shouldn't be a difference I think?
What do you think?

I agree..the classic gold woc hardware shouldn’t differ, but from your pic the difference in color does not look pronounced. I have a seasonal woc with light gold hardware and the gold seems much lighter than the ghw on my classic black woc. With the black woc, I prefer the more rich yellow tone ghw. As long as you’re happy with it, that’s what matters.
Hi!Good choice! I love the 19 WOC, so versatile and the top handle is a game changer. Mine is in goatskin, sorry I cannot be much help with lambskin. It's from the 20A collection. I've had it for a year and a half. Wear it quite regularly and I do not baby it. No issues with color transfer while wearing jeans or dark clothing.
*Just took these pictures for you, current condition. I have worn it easily more than 50 times. Packed it on multiple vacations, thrown it in totes, and split coffee on it once
Am so happy to have found WOC 19 in Paris. Was not easy to find at all. Had to visit almost all the stores on that day and finally found it at Printemps (my last stop on a late afternoon).
Love my new baby
have also used it many times during my holiday trip
I think it's normal.... I got a woc last winter and the quilts are super flat and the caviar a little dull. I was unhappy with it and found another one recently. This one has super puffy quilts and is shiner. Both are made in Italy. I'm not too happy with either tbh so I'm not sure which to keep. The strap on the newer one is also longer. I wish Chanel was more consistent lol.
The way I store a classic WOC chain is wrapped up in tissue paper but resting on a taller box, next to the WOC, so it doesn't put any pressure on the leather. I saw this done in someone's YouTube video and copied the idea. Would that work for the 19?hi! For the 19 WOC, wondering the best way to store the chains?
For my classic WOC, it is easy as chains can be kept inside the bag. The 19 chains are quite chunky and I have not figured out the best way.
Thanks :
thanks very much for the tip!
Looks like I may have to do the same cos I was wondering how to prevent the chains from putting pressure on the bag
Hi! Does anyone know which season Chanel usually releases the Boy WOC with ruthenium hardware?
I bought a black Boy WOC with ruthenium hardware in Cannes, France in late July.
