To me the point of having a WOC is that it's already organized so you wouldn't need a coin purse or a cardholder. I would use the zipper portion for wallet things and put the cards directly into the wallet. I just see so many people put wallets in wallets or pochettes in pochettes.
I was thinking the same thing! I keep watching packing videos where people dont use it for what it is! Then again I guess it's personal preference.
The thing of woc is that you treat it as a wallet. There are so many card pockets inside. No need to put a coin purse extra
The price increase in 4 years makes me want to cry 😭!!!
I love your channel, and thanks for sharing the "Chanel Mini and WOC Comparison". The only thing is I would never put my bulky keys inside my Chanel bag, I want to protect the interior of my bag from being scratched.
Such a great comparison video - I personally prefer the WOC cause it forces me to take just the essentials.
Thank you. This settled it for me. I'm gonna get the square mini.
I've stumbled on some of your videos before but then I recently got hooked on your channel again. Love your reviews and your collection.
I really want a mini. I hope my SA finds one for me. I have the woc. It does not fit much. It's another one of those fun grab and go bags. Thanks again for the review.
I recently got the WOC in lambskin (microchip). And the price increase 6 years on is just unfathomable LOL. Chanel has improved the WOC, at least.
I hv the 8" rectangular mini and also two WOCs and i actually find i could fit more in the WOC as i dont need to carry a purse in it. I use the front pocket to put my money and the zipped compartment for coins. So my iphone, lipstick, eyeliner, mascara, compact powder and keys can easily fit in the main compartment :)
+hangpabodo Ah you're lucky! I think the issue really came down to my keys... just way too bulky!
Great review! Finally got around to picking up the red quilted WOC last weekend. The 00V Red is such a gorgeous true red, def knew I had to have it after your heathrow haul :D
For quick touchups your phone's front camera should be just fine. I do use it very often and don't need a compact anymore. Great video!
+Susazeu That's a great tip, thank you! :)
Hi, please make a video on how to store Chanel purses in your closet . I would love to hear your tips
Great review. I have the WOC in lambskin and am considering the mini as well - holds more than I thought! Thanks for sharing!
HaveLouisWillTravel Thank you for watching! Couldn't agree more - it totally surprised me too!
Great review! I just did a review on my rectangle Mini. I'm thinking about getting the WOC. Love that red that you have.
tiffanyish Thank you! Will go check out your review now! :D
Lambskin is sooo soft, great small bags
Thanks so much for the review, was looking into buying one recently
***** Am so glad you looked it! I can definitely recommend the mini and the WOC too if you don't carry much :)
Love how you put the drop in cm haha so handy for rest of world that doesn't use inches
Loved this review..... now I'd really love a mini xx
Joanna Rice The mini is fast becoming one of my all time favourite bags! Such a great size :)
I think it's great that you keep everything in pristine condition then when you grab it again to use it's perfect to go ! Luv the square mini .
As always a good in-depth review !
Sally Myers Thank you! The square mini is such a cutie :) And I'm definitely all about taking care of my bags - they represent way too much of my money not to haha! Thank you so much for watching :) x
Thank you!!!!! I have been waiting for someone to do this video :)
+Robin Russell So happy it helped! :)
Thank you so much for the review! So VERY helpful!
Lindsay Braxton I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching :)
Great video!! I just recently got a rectangle mini and LOVE it! Mine is light gold though.
+CrystalForest90 Oh wow that sounds gorgeous!!
Your reviews are awesome! Thanks!
+Thy Yu Thank you!
Good review as always :)) Thank you so much !
+nidynidy Min Thank you!!
Hmm I tried it in yesterday and thought the same. If you ever sell anything else please let me know I am a collector of pre loved. I love your channel btw.
The WOC is now $2500 US and Mini Classic Chanel is $3300 makes me want to cry!
I have some news for u 😢😭🤣
@@cherryshery2186 riiiight
Hello, I love your video!! I'm 5.6 :) When I buy bag, length of strap is kind of important issue.
Hilary810 Totally agree - it can really make or break a bag in my opinion!
Loving your videos :) just got a Chanel mini and your video helped me make the decision xxx
+chloe james Ah I'm so happy to hear that! I LOVE the mini - such a wonderful size. Congrats on your new bag!! x
I actually like knowing if an extra purse or pouch fits inside. Some people like extra organization 💁♀️
Thanks for sharing! Absolutely perfect video which I have been looking for so long. I have one WOC in Black with silver hardware. However, the chain is way too long for me so I just seldom to wear it. And the space is just very limited. I bought from HK about €1512 in 2 years ago. I want to resell and buy a mini instead. Would you please give me some advices if it is worthy to keep the WOC or just resell it? Thank you so much!!
Great review! I do like wear cross body and after watching this video, I lean more towards woc. The mini seems a little bit bulky if carries cross body, doesn't it?
amazing review Amie :) big hugs
Nabiilah Bun Thank you lovely!
Hello. I love your bag. Just curious what series is it? Thank you! Mine is the 10 series, but yours fits more I think.
Its amazing they almost doubled the price in 4 years...
Great comparison !! Both are really gorgeous bags !!! Do u mind sharing the red color code ? Love how deep that is ! Looking forward to your next videos :) xo
MsBlueMaude Of course not! It's A33814Y0158881665 :) Thank you for watching!
The woc is way better and classier, but in the black with gold hardware for sure, no need to over stuff it 🌷
Question. When do seasonal products no longer become available usually? Like the spring/summer 2018 collection for example
Great video and love love love your mini! Xoxo
FashionablyAmy Thank you lovely! :)
After using your WOC do you think it's worth it? I have the mini and keep thinking I need a WOC in my life. It's just so small....I've been watching every video on youtube trying to decide!
+Chanel Mommy I actually sold the WOC a few weeks ago! For me personally, it's a no. I love the mini and think it's a great size - the WOC is just too small! I also think that it's more of a casual bag which limited how much I used it. The mini is perfect for casual days and dressy evenings out! I would much rather save up a bit more and get another mini :)
Chanel need to rethink their Classic and Reissue sizes. The perfect bag size and chain is actually the Reissue 226 (Medium). It is bigger than the Classic Medium and the chain is longer, so it can be worn crossbody if necessary. It is also very lightweight! So Chanel should make the Classic bag in this same size, then a Jumbo, and discard the Medium and outdated Maxi!!!
Great video! Can you fit a zippy compact wallet in the square mini?
great advise, very helpful!
Hello! Do you have any plan to make a comparison video between the square mini and the rectangular mini? I have a rectangular mini and am contemplating if I should get a square one too......all the best xx
+Huan-Chun Hagh Yes, this one is coming up soon!
Dear Amie, thanks for all the helpful info! xo from holland
Thanks for this vid, Amie. Love your collection! I just got a new Chanel boy lambskin woc and am kinda regretting it mainly because of size and leather. Now I want a caviar mini. I'm 5'7" too and thought the woc chain is fine for me. Would love to hear your opinion - should I trade for a mini? Thanks dear. x
I sold my WOC very quickly after I got it. I love my mini to bits though and would highly recommend! For the extra price, you get a lot more versatility IMO :)
+Chase Amie Thank you so much, Amie. U're so kind to respond. :) Now I'm researching on mini vs small. Haha! Can't make up my mind. x
Great comparison video!! Where did you get your cute top?
Sandy D New Look! :)
Hi tq for the lovely review and no u r not biased towards yr mini ... I love it too 😜😍
Suria Preba Haha it's such a hard bag not to love! Thank you for watching :) x
these kinds of videos are awesome...showing the practical uses of these investment pieces is so great! Do you have your eyes on something new for fall? What is on your wish list?
Meredith Morris Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I actually just did a wishlist post on my blog haha! One piece I just purchased (haul video coming on Tuesday!) but the others include a bright coloured mini and a LV Neverful MM in DE. Although the one I shared is more of a lifetime wishlist... not sure I'll be able to buy all of these in the next few months! (A girl can dream right?! :D)
Loved this review and your WOC! If you are ever thinking of selling her, I would love to have her! I am an American living in The Netherlands, not too far away. ;))
Where do you get a full size lip balm on a keychain? I love that! Also, do sunglasses or readers fit in a WOC?
Hi Amie, just came across your videos. Quick question pls, would you recomend the chanel mini square flap as a 1st chanel bag in view of maybe getting the meduim flap much later i.e a few yrs time for personal reasons. I never knew these existed until very recently & I suprisely can't get it out of my head. Thanks for your anticipated input.
+Trying newthings Hi! I absolutely love the mini and would recommend it to anyone. I think it would make a great first Chanel bag! I'm not such a huge fan of the medium to be honest - it doesn't fit much more than the mini and is almost double the price. For me, the two best styles/ sizes as the mini and the jumbo :)
+Chase Amie , thanks very much for your candid opinion. Time to start saving...cheers!!. Loving your videos.
If you could have made the strap length wrap once work for crossbody, would you still have returned?
Do you think WOC is a good investment than the Chanel mini flap bag? i dont know which one to buy as my first chanel and i want to be practical at the same time have a good investment.
Beautiful bags 💕 I love the mini!
Meghann Anderson Thank you! The mini is just the best!
Hi amie. Can you please do a review of the trendy WOC with the gold plate please? Is it better than the traditional WOC?
Hi Yasmin! I'm really sorry but I don't own the Trendy WOC so I couldn't do a review :)
Ok. No probs. I just really value your opinion, that was all. Thanks anyway.xx
wow wallet on chain used to be so cheap
I just got a teal colored one in 2500 USD
Hi, love your videos. I’ve bought a 2nd hand Lambskin woc and there are creases along the flap. Previous owner says it’s wear and tear from normal opening of the piece. Will your woc have the same issue as well? Especially when you open the woc fully...
Those bags are gorgeous! Do you think an iPhone 6plus would fit in the mini?
+Jenny Li I don't know for sure but I think it would be a bit of a squeeze. My iphone 6 only just fits.
+Chase Amie Love ur review. Tks alot, just too bad iphone6 plus cant fit in. Hopefully u can do reviews on other woc or similiar crossbody bags in future.
You should do a review of the Pochette Metis.
Barbs441 I absolutely will - I just have so many video ideas, it's a struggle to fit them all in! Definitely on the list though - I'll hopefully get round to filming it in the next month or so :)
Chase Amie I just got mine and I love it. I love your videos keep up
Gorgeous bags ❤️❤️❤️
Lusting Luxuries - Diary of a Bagaholic Thank you!! :)
Hi Amie! I am thinking about buying my first Chanel classic flap mini, and wanted the square. I was wondering if it is currently difficult to find the square mini in the Chanel boutique? (I live in the US) ! Love your videos, so informative :)
Hi Amie, thanks a lot for the brilliant review of the bags. I've been watching your VDOs on and on. I love it. I recently purchased my very first chanel classic flap black caviar leather in jumbo size, but it's too big for me when I tried it on. I'm 158cm... I'm thinking of selling it and buy the mini square. Does Chanel still produce mini square , caviar leather in orange/ red color? Where do you normally shopping for pre-loved bag?
Many thanks and kind regards.
Joy
Hi Joy, I have a whole blog post about that here :) chaseamie.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/how-and-where-to-buy-pre-loved-chanel.html Chanel minis are seasonal so no one knows what combinations they're going to come out with next! If you're patient enough, one should come around sooner or later though :)
Joy Seares hi are u still considering selling your chanel?
Would you say the WOC fits the iPhone 6s Plus?
Yes it does!
Hi Amie, May I ask if you remember whether your red woc was from the 00V classic red? Thank you 🙏
I'm a new subbie. I simply adore your accent. I'm usually a LV girl but wanting to venture out. What do you think would be my perfect first Chanel bag? I'm in my 40's so I like to carry a bit of stuff but at the same time don't want anything to heavy.
NurseNJ Thank you! So for me, the ideal Chanel size is the Jumbo - it's perfect for day and night in my opinion. I have heard some people say that they think it's too heavy... I've not experienced this at all though so I suppose it depends on your tolerance (I'm used to lugging around my really heavy Neverfull all the time!). There is the M/L but to be honest for the £400 extra, I think you're much better off getting the Jumbo!
thanks!!! I think that too would be a perfect choice. I don't think it will be any heavier than my beloved LV Sully. :)
The WOC is now £1,640! 😩😩
Alex Saide And the price of the mini?
£1690 now 😾 & square mini is £2100 😿
It's 2500 now🤣🤣
@@ra1975 3.800 now
Amie if I was buying only one channel bag what would you recommend? I want to be able to use everyday cross body as well as shoulder and evening?
I'm not her but i would recommend the medium flap bag in caviar :)
I've always wanted a chanel woc but now after seeing the mini flap I'm not to sure. I think I like the mini flap a bit more. Lol I'm also from London and I was wondering how much was the mini? I really want one but I can't seem to find it on their website. I hope it's not limited edition. 😊
+Hunniebunches020405 The square mini is £1590 I believe, with the rectangle mini being a couple hundred more. I believe there is a price increase coming for the mini style but I'm not sure when I'm afraid! The mini is considered a seasonal piece but they do tend to do versions every season :)
Thank you for replying. Hopefully, I can find one before the price increase.☺
great review thanks!! :) xx
Hungarian LVGirl Thank you so much! :)
oh I LOVE LOVE LOVE the mini. I have contacted a SA and was told may be able to track a pink mini for me !!!! Should I get the pink mini or a black classic flap first? I dont have bags from Chanel but definitely getting one or two...
Erica L Oh my goodness, that is such a tough decision!! Is it the mauvey-pink with GHW that's out now? I saw this the other day and it is STUNNING! I would probably go for the pink mini to be honest as the black classic flap will always be there. Nothing worse than kicking yourself for missing out on a gorgeous seasonal colour!
+Chase Amie It's been crazy busy at work also with my mother-in-law-to-be coming, when I finally find a chance to contact the SA today, the pink is gone. I dont think I will get a chance to get crossed with a pink mini ever again.
+Chase Amie I am also going to stop buying bags for a while as my mother-in-law-to-be has a strong feel about this, even though I am working hard and actually my boyfriend never brought me one. But anyway she is coming on October, we never get along well with each other, uuuuuh, finger crossed!!!!
+Erica L Oh no! I'm sure it'll go fine. And there are always more Chanels around the corner! :D
Is the chain of the woc smaller than the mini?
dear what is the color of the woc one? is it a true red? thank you
Hi Amie! Does your square mini fit an iphone 11? Thanks!
Hi, Amie, May i know where did yu bought your preloved mini? thanks! xox
+Eva Marie Pettersen (bellyeva) I bought it from Videdressing :)
Amie dear, I love your top in this video! Where did you bought from?? :)
+MacnificentLife New Look!
where do you buy your preloved bags?
Hey girl why are the bags cheaper at Heathrow? Also is it only possible to purchase when leaving or can you do so on arrival? Xxx
gcbykat So they bill it as duty free but I actually believe it's something different... either way, Heathrow has an agreement with HMRC where they can offer discounted prices on items. Unfortunately you can only purchase when flying out though! I have more information about the process on my blog (with a video too): chaseamie.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/how-to-buy-chanel-at-heathrow-without.html Hope this helps!
Thanks for the video!
Do you know if the iPhone 6+ fits into the square mini?
+RoseEllina I don't for sure but my iphone 6 only just fits in so I think that the 6+ might be a smidge too big. Next time I see my brother, I'll grab his phone and try it out!
Thanks for letting me know. I love the square mini but they don't have them anywhere near where I live to try it out. I love your videos :)
Great video!!
melissa pintone Thank you!
Great video! Very informative! :D I've been looking for months for this exact red woc, can't find it anywhere in Europe. The boutique won't do exchanges with the UK :( If you ever want to sell it, let me know! I would jump on the opportunity!
***** Oh really? That's so odd! I thought this was supposed to be in permanent collection so I can't understand why it would be so hard to find. I will absolutely let you know though! When I finally get around to editing down my bag collection, I'll probably do a blog sale and announce it on here :) x
+Chase Amie I think it's a seasonal colour. I've been stalking my SA at the Brussels boutique so she can check the stock all over Europe, but none are available. I will keep my eyes peeled then! :D would hate to miss out because I saw your post about it too late. The mini is very tempting as well but I really want a crossbody, so I think the WOC would suit me more. Keep up the videos! Ps I loved your gigantic haul video as well :D
***** Sofie, what's your email? Can you email me at chaseamie@outlook.com? :)
Just wondering where you buy preloved Chanel ? Thank you
+Tina Nguyen I just filmed a video on this topic! Should be up tomorrow hopefully :)
Do you have to go abroad to go to the heathrow store?
+Emily Ann Rose Yes, afraid so - the shops are after security.
I love the shape of the square mini but I love the silver embellishments on the wallet. The gold makes me think it looks tacky :(( I hope it isn't like that in person
Aime would you consider selling your woc?
+Emma McDonnell Sorry lovely, I've already sold it! It wasn't working out for me x

Watching this in 2022 - my god, prices have gone up so much 🫠
Good review as always :)) Thank you so much !
