The Chanel Wallet On A Chain
Let’s talk about the Chanel wallet on a chain!
The Chanel wallet on a chain was created in 1997. This bag was an immediate success. It was fashionable as well as functionable. A new way to store valuables and essentials in a chic way. Featuring 6 card slots, open compartment in center, zipped pockets and long 24 inch strap, the Chanel wallet on a chain aka WOC is one of Chanel’s most popular styles to date. This is one of Chanel’s classic bags and a fan favorite. It remains one of the most affordable priced bags on Chanel’s menu of classic styles. Chanel’s prices keep going up and up. At the moment the classic woc is priced at $2950.
How to wear a Wallet on a Chain
The WOC is very convenient for wearing crossbody and hands free but did you know you can wear it other ways too? Simply tuck in the strap to wear it as a clutch for an elegant evening look. Transfer the chain into a shorter strap by doubling the chain and wear it as a shoulder bag. They are available in Lambskin or Caviar leather. I always recommend caviar leather due to its ability to wear for years and years. It’s durable and won’t easily scratch. This bag is always in style and on trend. A forever staple in anyone’s wardrobe. I highly recommend the splurge if you are on the fence!
The Chanel Wallet on a chain is a perfect bag to start with if you have never purchased a Chanel bag before.
Buy Pre Owned
Where to find Chanel pre owned? My favorite online resale platform is currently Fashionphile. You can find a large selection of WOC’s updated daily and the prices are unbeatable. Everything on the site is authenticated by handbag experts. If you can’t find a certain style, check out therealreal.com, they also have a wonderful selection, constantly updated.
Sell
Want to sell your Chanel bag? Maybe you want a change for the season or looking to cash out your bag. Resale value in great condition is always right around whatever you paid at the boutique. Sometimes your bag may even increase in value if you happen to buy a limited edition piece or a special color or style that sells out. If your woc is in fair condition meaning heavily used with noticeable wear, expect the resale value to be about half of what you paid.
Currently my favorite place to sell my bags is on Poshmark. It’s easy and convenient. Poshmark is charging a 20% fee to sell your items. If you don’t want the hassle of self selling, I recommend sending your item to therealreal, where they do “all the work on your behalf”. I have sent many items to them and had a great experience. If you have any questions about this, please contact me. I’m happy to help.
