Glad to hear! EnjoyThank you! I went to my local boutique a few days ago and got the WOC
All of you wise WOC owners, I have a question....on current WOC styles, are the chains all the same length regardless of style?
I tried on a WOC a couple of weeks ago at a boutique but didn't take any photos. Then I tried one on at a different boutique yesterday and feel like yesterday's was a bit shorter than the first one, but not sure if my mind is playing tricks on me and I'm just not remembering correctly, because I tried on other things that day too.
Here's a photo of yesterday's. For reference, I'm 5'1" and shaped like a potato with boobs and legs. Does this look like the standard length WOC chain?

I find them to be the most versatile bag that I own. You can wear them a variety of ways depending on how you fold the chain, and they can be worn casually with jeans or out and about as an evening bag. I love them!
WOCs do not work for me. I’ve tried numerous brands and I’ve sold them all. So I guess it’s just trial and error lol. Some swear by them and others like me can’t make them work.
A wallet won’t fit, but it defeats the purpose of using a WoC considering it IS a wallet loo
I love mine, prob my most used extra bag (not my daily carry)

It depends on your lifestyle. wallet and key won't fit. I normally carry only my iphone, a lipstick and id so woc is perfect for me. it's a great bag for dinners.
If you use the card slots and zip pocket for cash as your wallet, it's an excellent choice. My most used for sure.
Same, I have tried a variety of them and none of them worked for me either.
I carry a pretty minimal amount of items on a daily basis: cardholder, phone, 6-ring key holder + car fob.
Either one of these things happen:
- While my phone is in my hands most of the time, on occasions when I need to put the phone away and have no pockets, it's a minor inconvenience. If my husband is there, I just quickly hand it over to him, but if I'm alone, how safe do I feel putting it on a table or in my lap? not really
- More often than not, WOCs hate my car fob. It just takes up so much space or puts pressure against the leather and protrude in an ugly way.
- I just can't let go of having a card holder. I know a WOC has slots for cards/money, but for some reason, I do not like taking cards out of my card holder and putting into slots in a WOC or any kind of clutch or bag. It doesn't feel right to me. (so that's a me problem lol

I agree. I only use my WOC when I don’t need my keys. I can fit my iPhone pro max and maybe one lip product, but not what I like to have for daily use (too many lip products). This limits my WOC to an out for dinner carry at most. I must have a sunglasses case for daytime so very limited use.
Mine is most used for concerts/events. If I run out of room and need a phone pocket, my DH comes in handy
I recently just purchased my 1st WOC and with a base shaper in place, I can fit an iphone max pro with its bulky phone case, key fob, lip moisturizer balm and with room left for maybe another lip product. I do use the card slots and zip compartment for cash, or if I’m feeling lazy, I just shoved all my cards and cash in the zip compartment. I am liking my WOC a lot so far. It’s so light, versatile and pretty too!
The WOC suits some people but for me I just struggle with how flat it looks, I feel like aesthetically I prefer bags with a little more depth to them. But I can see how they could be very functional for an evening out!
