I've been obsessing over WOC style lately, but I'm torn between a Chanel WOC (black with gold hardware) or Gucci Marmont (in hot pink). The Gucci WOC seems to be bigger than Chanel's, but the Chanel might go with everything I wear. If anyone have had experience with either of them, please let me know so that I can make my decision. Thanks!

I don't have the WOC in the picture, but I do have the Marmont Matelasse Mini in the same leather. The leather is wonderful, buttery and very soft. It hard to explain how impeccably the leather holds the colours. I've seen this WOC in stores and it's a beautiful happy pink. Gucci is also significantly lower priced than the Chanel and imo a great brand to get. Do keep in mind that the returns you'll get it you resell are likely to be around 70-80% though unlike the Chanel

the chanel is double the price of the gucci, but its a classic and you can wear it with no worries day or night. if u already have a bag (s) which fits this description then maybe branch out and get the gucci pop of color.
my first chanel was the woc and its perfect everytime i wear it (to me ;))

would love to know what you end up with! :)

Thanks for your comment :) I am leaning towards Gucci because it looks like it holds more cards than Chanel. I love pink, but it'll be hard to wear this with certain outfits. However, I just found a black version with pearls in the logo, and I might go for this one:

Thanks for the advice :) I'm in a tough spot where I have the Gucci Marmont bag in the same color as the Gucci WOC and I also have a Chanel bag that would be the same color as the Chanel WOC.

It's a tough decision lol

Gucci's seems a bit trendy and a bit more "in your face". Have you tried to look up pre-loved ones? I've noticed Gucci's stuff drops in value dramatically retail vs secondhand so you may be able to get a great deal.

Chanel's style is timeless and it's definitely something I could see someone using years and years later, but it does look significantly smaller than the Gucci's. Have you tried going to the Chanel store and trying to put your essentials into it to see if it even holds everything? :)

I vote for the gucci with pearls. The chain is detachable which is an advantage compared to chanel.

Have you considered the nude color, since you already have a hot pink and a black chanel? The nude is pretty and very versatile. Plus I think the first gucci woc in your first thread seems very thin, I don't think it will fit more than the chanel woc. So nude/black gucci with pearls>chanel woc>hot pink gucci.

I've tried finding pre loved ones for Gucci but I couldn't :/ But I have found used Chanel WOC and so far, Fashionphile has the best prices for it. So I'm reconsidering Chanel. I do know that the pink Gucci WOC is rare, so I don't know if I should just go with that.

Unfortunately the only Chanel store in Oregon is in the Nordstrom and when I checked, they didn't have the WOC styles :(
