Updated WOC

Hello ladies,
My first post and my first Chanel bag. :smile:

I was looking for a classic mini or small flap but ended up purchasing the classic WOC with GHW. My friend raved about hers she's had for a while, and it seems they updated it for the classic WOC. Magnetic clasp and thinner, gold colored, CC engraved zippers. Wow. Love it to bits.

Congratulations!! I just got my first Chanel as well and it's exactly the same as yours! I took it on its maiden voyage today and I LOVE IT!!

I don't think mine is the updated one though since I have a snap closure and the "tassel" on the zipper.

I love it so much that I want a light coloured one as my wedding clutch for next year! Any suggestions on colours from other WOC owners who have something in a light-coloured neutral or pastel shade?

Congrats on your WOC and congrats on your wedding! A light colored WOC would be perfect as a wedding clutch. Wish I would have thought about that! :smile:

Love your new bag!
I called the Toronto boutique today to ask about the new magnetic closure and they seemed to think I was crazy or that I saw a replica. Do you mind sharing the item code(?) or do you happen to know if this is a seasonal thing? Thanks!

Thank you so much. Mine is a classic caviar WOC so it should not be a seasonal one. I don't have the style code with me at the moment but know that my WOC has a serial number beginning in 28 (e.g. 28 series) so they just came in. I hope they make these upgrades permanent for the classic WOCs from now on.

The first few stores I went to here in the US said the same thing - that I was misinformed. One store had heard about the update but did not know when they would arrive. Another store said to check other stores. So I did and found mine in NYC at Bloomingdales. I wish you luck in finding yours.

Whoops I accidentally pressed the post reply button prematurely in earlier message. I just wanted to let you know that because of your post I found out the WOC got updated. I went to my local store today and bought the magnetic closure one. Thank you!

Congrats on your new purchase! Where did you buy it? And what leather/hardware?

Glad to help. This forum has helped me also in researching my first Chanel. It's a great resource. Enjoy your WOC!
 
Wow this is amazing. I LOVE my old style woc, it's easily my most used bag by far! I love the new metal zip I wish mine had that! I may have to save up and get another! Please update if anyone sees any other colours :smile:
