in my opinion nothing beats the look of the vintage woc it’s so opulent 😍 never thought I’d want a woc till you showed that vintage black lambskin one and I fell in love
Interesting. My chain shorteners are too big for the tiny WOC chain... I could force them into the chain but I don't want to potentially damage the leather... but yeah, it is much easier to twist the chain instead...
Hello, Dacob!! I love your videos. I have the new WOC in a bluish purple iridescent that color shifts as you move it. I’d love you to reserve judgement until you see it in person. I like the new style so much better. It seems better to me, not worse. I love it.
What a great video! I’m just trying to decide which WOC to buy and this video was super helpful. And I totally agree that what they’ve done with the chain on the latest version is bad for all of the reasons you mentioned. Thanks!
I like you Dacob! I appreciate you critiquing EVERYTHING vs just hyping the bag up for sale. You have brought up differences made to the WOC and giving pros and cons. Wow I wouldn't have thought much about the differences and would have automatically thought an "upgrade" would be better but that is not the case! I love your content! Does your snap unsnap when you have your bare necessities inside? I'm a new subbie! yay🎉
Great video on the various versions of the Chanel WOC! I am awaiting a preloved Lambskin in the Camilla print. I did notice that mine does not have the back outside pocket, which is not a deal breaker for me! Looking forward to more from you! Thank you!!!🤗🥰
This was FUN👏 I found a chevron aged lambskin 2.55 So Black version for $2600🙀with a FULL package including actual receipt from Neiman Marcus👏 She’s a BEAUTY😻
I asked my SA for a chain shortener last month for my WOC and he gave me two, so yes they do still offer them. My favorite WOC is the trendy, with the larger turn lock. It looks much more like a mini bag rather than a WOC IMO
I have new version of WOC without a pipe, however I have heard it is done only on metallic/iridescent WOCs, in order not to wear out metallic coating. I do not know, if it is true or not. Anyway, for myself I find it more convenient for several reasons: 1. With tube I did not like how chain constantly goes in when you open it, like it does not stay completely outside and getting things in and out bothers me in this case. And I even do not want to use it as a clutch. 2. There is no rubbing of the chain against the flap on the sides, unless you shorten the chain 3. For myself I do not like that chain could slide around, this movement adds additional wear and tear again rubbing against flap and tube itself. And I do not want it could slide being on me worn. 4. I think that actually chain being under flap made this deformation of the top, but only time will tell for sure, here I have lack of physics calculation😀 Well, I think depends on the perspective of people, whether the changes are good or not. So far I like my version. And I do not think they really saved a lot on those changes, because in terms of materials production does not cost that much for the whole thing, like 100 dollars maybe🤔 best case scenario, here the time of workers is more expensive, but have no clue is the decrease of time spent is significant as well… Ah, and btw good thing about this new zipper pull, it does not hang, difficult to explain, but I like you should not constantly manually make sure how this pull sits between flap and the body of the WOC. Thank you for the video and as always very good detailed analysis.
I agree with you. I have the new style. I got it about a month ago and I love it. The design seems to be simpler and classier. Mine is bluish purple iridescent/metallic.
I have the same one from 2015! twinning 👯♀️ i also have a square woc, it’s not the mini woc, it’s called the archi chic woc from 2018, its the same width but expands more than the classic and taller. I love them both! no lies though the seasonal one already went to the spa for fixing and my 2015 one stand the test of time.
You have a good eye. I noticed the magnet closure also adds a gap from the side. If it was such a great idea, why are they keeping the leather pulls on the classic flaps?
Dacob! There is something so elegant about the Classic WOC with the tube running through it. The version I went for is the Trendy CC black Lambskin- I love it but there is still something special about the classic style❤️
Hi I'm not Dacob, but thought I'd reply as I was wondering the same thing last Saturday. Dacob was ill so the livestream was cancelled. Hopefully he'll be better soon. Send him a get well message, I have. Hope he's OK xx
I've been considering a WOC for awhile. I've been staying away thus far since I have the mini flap and I already find that on the small side (I actually just started using it much more since I bought the Louis Vuitton Cles in Monogram- you inspired me☺)....but I feel as though the WOC would be nice for quick errand running as I only need a couple things. Perhaps I will get one in grey since I have all black Chanel bags right now.
@@Paige49441 Hi again! Don't know if Dacob is still in the middle of his livestream at the moment but I tried and tried and couldn't join it tonight 😭I didn't get my usual reminder that normally comes automatically with the joining link and there was no link in the tabs in the Super Dacob Channel when I looked this evening. 🤔🤷♀️
@@blondeandchatty7842 Dacob is sick right now :( so the livestream was cancelled. He announced it on his Instagram. Send him some good vibes. I did. I hope he's okay and feels better soon
Such a practical bag/pouch/to-go wallet! I bought one in 2019 with the mademoiselle lock (reissue) because I know I'd be annoyed fiddling with the press button. Now after watching this I want another one in the timeless classic to fill the "void" uwu ❤️
Thank you for this Dacob! I watched it again although I had seen it live ❤️❤️❤️ I was reluctant to get a WOC in the past, because of the price, until I saw this strange one in the last F/W collection: Silver hammered leather, silver also hammered shiny hardware, classic cc lock, leather in the interior also, the front covers it till the bottom, with “rings” for the chain at the sides (chain is fastened there, it’s not adjustable), two compartments and two pockets, not puffy (I don’t prefer it puffy) - I just couldn’t resist 😇🌺💝
Hi Dacob, just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed this segment. It has always been my dream to own a Chanel WOC. But the price rises, even on good quality pre-loved, keep making it unobtainable. I think it's surprisingly roomy as I can imagine you can put your cards in the pockets and then just put in keys, face compact, lipstick and phone. I am saving up for one. What are your thoughts on: the insert you can buy to make the fold underneath stay down which makes the bag much roomier. And which bag era would you recommend since I will be buying pre-loved. There's a great shop in London that sells high quality and validated Chanel bags. I quite liked the 80s one with the pull through leather tube inside...which is your favourite vintage one?
Hi! I'm not Dacob but I do have a Chanel WOC and I put this insert at the bottom. It doesn't only make the WOC roomier but it also keeps the shape on the bottom so that it won't fold in.
my favorite iteration is the mini WOC! It appears a tad smaller, but actually fits the same if not more (without stuffing) thanks to its double gussets, and the top flap contains the card slots which are more accessible than the classic woc. AND it still has the tubular bit for the chain :)
The WOC is my favourite out of my whole collection, Dacob and it’s exactly like yours . This latest iteration though is not a literal chain wallet anymore, it’s a hook-er wallet 😭 - so bad, so sad! 😞
I looooove WOCs. They work well for me because i dont carry too much with me due to my lifestyle (i dont drive in Shanghai so no car keys, my apartment door opens with code so no house keys, we pay EVERYTHING with our phones here so no need to carry a wallet either, police here accept passport photo in my phone as proof of ID in case of need). I carry tissues, phone, lip balm and one card. I love that freedom 🤣 Loved this video. Thank you Dacob!
@@ThatGirlJD no worries, in every single shopping mall there are vendors and restaurants with small automatic lockers at the entry that rent external power banks. So they open a locker for you, you take the external battery bank and go do your shopping charging your phone, then return it in same shop/restaurant or in any other place with the same locker machine. 😅
Hey Dacob! it's me again! ❤ Your NEW subbie! What do you think about the shiney metallic (it's like chrome/reynolds wrap!) lol. Is that tacky in your honest opinion in the CC Woc or Reissue Woc? Do you have any metallics? Also what year has the larger size Woc? I want the largest size as I'm using it as a mini bag.😊 I know you have to be careful with metallic which is not an issue for me. I am awaiting your thoughts. Thank you Dacob!❤
I LOVE the OG vintage WOC sooo much better made. I must say however my Coach original Hayden WOC is made much better than these newer Chanel WOCS! It comes with a letter strap but you can purchase a chain to use instead.
Dacob, how do you like the reissue version WOC? I wanted a 225 but with those prices (and the fact i already have a 226) im thinking maybe i get the reissue woc instead.
26:58 Wow they managed to destroy their own bag. Now the chain is not as versatile to style in different lengths , double chain..... I think they did it on purpose. I do have mini "mini" wallet on chain, and it is actually more substantial, than the classic woc. It has two compartments, rather than one main compartment. Plus it has like 6 CC slots on the flap. It is wider. Thew price was 2300 usd plus tax, back in April 2021. Now they came up with the reissue version ( but they call it clutch) and it is 2800 usd plus tax.
Oh I do not like this at all. It would have been smarter to run that leather from the original all the way to the end to prevent the bending. The new way looks ugly. It’ll still bend, agreed. Your gromets idea is way better. I am not happy with this at all, almost feeling insulted that it also increases price. You can’t clutch it anymore without it showing… I’m so annoyed… I feel they messed up a classic. Also I paid way too much for my 2022 tendy cc WOC in black lambskin with rose gold hardware…. But I love it. I love that I have gromets!

in my opinion nothing beats the look of the vintage woc it’s so opulent 😍 never thought I’d want a woc till you showed that vintage black lambskin one and I fell in love
The vintage woc is very substantial and has a special vibe about it. It is also a bit bigger than the current classic WOC 😉💖
Anything and everything Chanel that Dacob talks about i end up checking out and the pieces i bought so far i never regretted 😁
I own the vintage version. The leather quality is fabulous and bigger than the newer wocs.
Loved this history of WOC! Would be a great series.
Thank you Kate 🥰🥰🌈🙏🏻💖
This was really informative! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you for this!!! Very timely for me. I have wondered about the history of the WOC! Sad I missed the livestream!
Thank you Finley 🙏🏻💖🥰🌈
I have two of these in silver and gold. The zipper without the leather is not damaging them .
The WOC fits more than what people would think. It's the perfect bag for running errands.
I so much appreciate your time and your research for all your videos!
Always very well presented!
Excellent Dacob!
Dacob is pretty awsome ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Michelle 🙏🏻🥰😊💖🌈
Glad I bought the same as yours in 2015 but in SHW...no regrets after watching this...much ♥️♥️♥️ from Manila
I love these historical videos. Thank you so much Dacob 🥰
Thank you Dondizm 🙏🏻😊💖
Nice to learn all this information. Thank you, darling!
Perfect timing this is the bag I really want
Oh Dacob....I LOVE the way you educate me!!!
I love your detailed videos and analysis. They are incredibly informative.
I am lucky enough to have a WOC from 2017 and adore the design.
Thank you Sarah 🙏🏻🥰💖
Hi! I got chain shortener with WOC I have purchased recently. You can put it on without a problem, but honestly it is just easier to twist the chain,
Interesting. My chain shorteners are too big for the tiny WOC chain... I could force them into the chain but I don't want to potentially damage the leather... but yeah, it is much easier to twist the chain instead...
@@SuperDacob if I do it like a jeweler😀 this shortener makes sense the most for rectangle mini, but for WOC, not really.
You can put even passport in side of the zipper all the way down yes! I do it lol what a great video 😍😇 thanks for this!,, very interesting topic!,

I am often guilty of WOC overstuff. My boy WOC is 7 yrs old and I wear it almost everyday. I love all my WOCs.
Me too, my desire to optimise its capacity borders on a gentle obsession !
I asked my SA for a chain shortener last month for my WOC and he gave me two, so yes they do still offer them.

Yes, its a tiny little thing. Haha. Only for short outings or worn in addition to another bugger bag 😉💖
I just saw the latest placement of the chain on WOC. Now it looks like how the chain is attached on YSL WOC's flap.
