Chanel Small Flap vs WOC | Comparison & Review

----------OPEN ME----------
Comparison and review of the Chanel Classic Double Flap in black lambskin with gold plated hardware to the Chanel Wallet on Chain in Black caviar leather with gold-tone hardware.
I filmed this video in August 2015 and misplaced the footage which I recently found, yay! This is pre-haircut and 7+ month old recording, hope you enjoy and find useful.
NOTE: The WOC had 6 months of wear at this point, and you can see the difference in the wear versus the 1 year review of the WOC I recently posted - I was surprised at the amount of wear and didn't realize it had worn so much.

I been watching comparison videos and this one made me finally decide to get the Woc for my bday. Thank you

[@Buttercookiesssss]

Great review girl! I got my woc partly because of your video and I like my woc stuffed looks prettier imo ❤️ it’s so so functional!

[@Roseellina]

I'm so glad you like it!!! I constantly find myself reaching for it 🙈 I agree, it looks better stuffed, it's looks flat and deflated otherwise :)

[@brelovesgucci]

I commented on this awhile ago, but I cannot stop using my woc!!! it's everything and it's not as common as other designer bags! I love it!

[@Roseellina]

+brelovesgucci Completely agree with everything you said, it's so convenient I have to stop myself from using it and force myself to use other bags 😂😁

[@zonkermound]

*yutulu* I love you so much and watching your videos makes my day brighter

[@Thehannahweknow]

The receipts sticking out all messy would drive me crazy lol

[@coreykelly2523]

OMG THE BEST REVIEW EVER!!!!xx 💕💕

[@blackbarbei7429]

Nice video and GREAT comparison of the two!!

[@Roseellina]

+LaRhonda Gatrey Thank you!

[@annegisbert4500]

Youre the only one who convinced me to buy WOC :)) very nice review! :))

[@Roseellina]

+Anne Gisbert Thank you so much dear!!! It's a wonderful little bag, I'm sure you'll love it xx

[@tuckersmom4154]

Great comparison! I have the WOC and love it! Thx for doing this vid! 👍🏻😃

[@Roseellina]

Thank you! It's such a wonderful little bag. Thanks for watching! xx

[@Apluschic]

Nice video! I have the Woc and the jumbo and sometimes I feel like I’m just supposed to add a medium flap to my collection ... but think do I really need a medium flap in my collection? After Watching this video ... I know it would be pointless to get a medium. I love my woc and it’s one of my faves because of the versatility. Great video!

[@aikdds4769]

Thank you for this video :) I have been looking for a comparison video of the two! Love your couch by the way! World market?

[@Roseellina]

+Aida K I'm so glad it was useful for you! :) Thank you, it is world market - I love their stuff! 🙈

[@LNatureblush]

thanks for this great comparison video!

[@annettewhite9297]

A nice review with lots of information thanks for sharing

[@Texasgirl10]

Great video ! Ty, you helped me decide on the WOC. 💕💕🥰

[@brelovesgucci]

I just bought a WOC for my birthday!!! I cannot wait to use it 😄😄😄 Love your video btw, we have similar tastes!

[@Roseellina]

+brelovesgucci Woooo!!!! So happy for you!! Congrats on a lovely lovely piece and happy birthday dear!! 🎉🎁😘 Which combo did you choose?

[@brelovesgucci]

RoseEllina Thank you!! I got the black lambskin with the gold hardware!

[@valeria150689]

The woc is to die for and I know that one day I will own it :)

[@Roseellina]

You will love it, it's wonderful little bag!

[@CapeCodBelle]

So shocked how much you fit in the WOC! I always thought it was too small for me, but I will take another look!

[@Roseellina]

+CapeCodBelle I know right, it fits so much! I never thought I'd use it as a full-size purse (but I carry very little) however it holds all the essentials and even a bit more, definitely check it out - I love it!!

[@MoreMandyJ]

Hello from your new subbed great comparison two fab bags I prefer the woc too X loving your channel x

[@Roseellina]

+MoreMandyJ Thank you dear! 💛 The woc is a fantastic little bag, one of my faves!

[@mommyjei3029]

Contemplating on selling my woc then buy the classic flap small, what would you advise me?

[@MSpanders10]

I can't get over how much you fit in the WOC. Enjoyed your video.

[@Roseellina]

Thank you! I was so surprised how much I was able to fit, I use it as an actual purse.

[@tawnyalessandra]

I LOVE the small classic flap bag, it's my absolute dream bag but unfortunately the retail price is such a turn off! Do you mind sharing how much you purchased it for (and was it new or pre-loved)?

[@ashleynunusu]

Tawny Niculescu I bought my small classic flap for 2600usd

[@jackiejk2000]

n Hong Kong Yahoo bid, can find a little metal ring for Chanel, easy to get short woc link. . Thank you for your video

[@aliciagant3817]

I really like your couch!

[@Roseellina]

+Alicia Gant thanks!

[@nicolebenitez2279]

Nice video... you make me love it more I want it😍I am 5"1 is it too long for me to wear it as a crossbody? Another question would you rather the woc or the speedy30b?

[@Roseellina]

+Nicole Benitez I'm 5'2" and it falls at a very comfortable length on me and I'm very short waisted. If you're concerned, you should try it out at a boutique if you can, or buy with a good return policy 😃 Definitely the WOC, I don't like the speedyb30 at all 😆😀

[@nicolebenitez2279]

RoseEllina Thank you rose 😌Am going to give it a try..🤗

[@missmac182]

Nicole Benitez the speedy b will fit more. both are classic. depends on which u will use more. speedy is more everyday. woc is special occasion, travel or weekend bag. U will most likely get more use from speedy b

[@life_is_great3548]

Thanks for this video! Whoa impressive! There's no way I could fit that much into my woc, I just bought mine three weeks ago and used it twice. Does the leather stretch over time? Thanks again 😊

[@Roseellina]

+Najalene Yay congrats dear!!!!! What kind (combination) did you buy? Yes the leather definitely wears in with time, especially on the sides so your items inside lay better/easier than at first. However, I used mine SO MUCH when I first bought it so it probably stretched pretty quickly 🙈

[@life_is_great3548]

+RoseEllina I got the chevron caviar woc shw, I love it so much, I'm hoping it will stretch very soon lol. I'm not used to being so limited on what I can bring with me. Thanks for responding, new subbie here ❤

[@Roseellina]

+Najalene That's stunning! Chevron is probably my favorite Chanel pattern :) I was thinking back, and I carried only a cles, keys, and lipstick with me when I just got it because it was tight and as I kept using and putting more stuff little by little, it began to stretch. I know it's a bit cliche but if you use it often, it'll stretch to what you want it to be :) Congrats again on your stunning woc and enjoy it to its fullest! 💛

[@rawrrrrritsrach]

Great video! Would you recommend a woc lamb skin or caviar?

[@Roseellina]

+Rachel Kitching That's a difficult question.. Personally I prefer lambskin to caviar but I think that considering how much a WOC usually gets used it's much less likely to get battered if you get the caviar. I guess I'd recommend the caviar only because I've used mine for 1.5 years and never been careful, and I haven't a scratch or wear on it - I hope this helps!

[@deniseortiz9515]

Do you still love the woc? I’m on the fence about it because some say it doesn’t fit much. And I’m thinking of getting it in lambskin.

[@MC-qj7sn]

Same!! Been wondering about these two bags. Kinda panicking too bec they said another price increase in nov??

[@britneyparente796]

I desperately need to add a WOC to my collection! Great bags babe! I just posted my first CHANEL collection video =) I'm very excited about it! Thanks for sharing with us love XOXO! Oh btw I followed you =)

[@Roseellina]

+Britney Parente Thanks dear, I'll need to check out your Chanel collection 😘 And yes, you do need a woc, it's an incomparable bag to anything else I've worn

[@DianaFranshesca]

Hello! What is similar to the 2.55: the small flap or M/L ? Thanks

[@Roseellina]

+DianaFranshesca The small

[@oylee64]

clear comparision i like it ! so u mean WOC is much more cost effective?

[@Roseellina]

+J Lee Thank you, I'm so glad! Yah I feel you get more value with the woc than what you get with the small flap

[@oylee64]

hi RoseElina, I have bought WOC for almost two months now, it was good, I even used it to go to work, or during weekends, I love it very much! However, HK's weather is having more rain recently so i put it back into the box and wait for the next time to use! Thanks for your sharing again, lets do an update for us, I eager to see:)

[@Roseellina]

+J Lee I'm so glad to hear that!!! I hope the weather clears up soon so that you can use it again 💛 I used mine so much I had to force myself to give it a rest 😆😋

[@oylee64]

yes, thx RoseElina! you have several luxury bags you can use them alternatively :)

[@tricia0ayoub]

Do you have a preference when it comes to types of leather? Trying to decide between caviar and lamb skin wocs

[@Roseellina]

+Tricia H. I prefer lambskin and I have no idea what possessed me to buy the caviar but I'm glad I did because I've used it so much (and not been careful at all) and it looks excellent. I think if it's a bag you plan to use regularly, especially for travel cuz it's so convenient for that, caviar will handle the pressure better :)

[@Ottolineification]

That WOC is going to explode!

[@Roseellina]

+Gemma Doyle So far so good 😌

[@___.Chiimu]

Great comparison! But with the woc can u manage to bend it back to its original shape if it bends down? Like keep the flap straight?

[@Roseellina]

+Jannet H Martinez I'm not sure what you mean? Do you mean it's slanted angle?

[@___.Chiimu]

+RoseEllina yea!

[@Roseellina]

No it doesn't bend straight across, i think because it has the zipper on the inside (the deep pocket) it bends the flap slightly diagonal when it's closed. However, if it's pretty empty inside then it stays straight. Hope that helps!

[@___.Chiimu]

+RoseEllina okay girl. I'm getting the timeless woc for my bday and that was my concern

[@Roseellina]

+Jannet H Martinez Ooo congrats, happy birthday!!! I think you'll love it, it's my favourite bag and one I've owned longer than any other 🙈

[@ABSF]

I am considering the lambskin Small Classic Flap versus the lambskin WOC - glad I watched your video. I definitely would have utilized the zip pouch and/or that inside flap zipper for receipts and hair ties. Is there any reason you don't toss the receipts in the coin purse?

[@Roseellina]

+A. B. The only reason I don't use the zippered pouch is because I'm lazy 😋 Not a great reason, I know but I just can't be bothered to put them in there. You definitely get more space if you utilise the pockets, especially the credit card slots. Which bag are you leaning towards?

[@ABSF]

I am leaning towards the WOC now. I'm 5'8 and need the longer strap so I can rock my bag crossbody. Plus, the price is too good to pass up. Thank you so much for your review and for answering my question. You rock!

[@Roseellina]

+A. B. So glad to help! Good luck xx

[@meli25948]

im only 5'2 too. do you find the straps unraveling/falling out every time you open the bag? like if you were standing in line and open your bag to take out your credit card or something

[@Roseellina]

+ime No I've never had the strap unravel, but I don't open the flap all the way back just lift it enough to get my stuff out - hope that makes sense 😁 But since it's one piece of leather and not stitched in the back, it doesn't flip backwards if you know what I mean

[@samanthamok]

I was thinking of doing a comparison between the two bags too (soon)! Except I don't have that many SLG's to put into the W.O.C....I also do luxury reviews if you'd like to check it out! 😊

[@MC-qj7sn]

Which do you prefer? The woc or the small flap?

[@samanthamok]

@@MC-qj7sn Small flap will most likely fit more- but WOC you can wear I think more casually! I would prefer the WOC just because of price difference now- the classic flaps are $$$!!

[@xpinchable]

wow it was 2,100 for the WOC then and now it is 2500.. :( damn..

[@miriamalvarado6477]

Lol. Now they are at 2,700-2900

[@mchafshino]

How does caviar leather wear with time? More matte or more shiny?

[@Roseellina]

It's hard to say, I've had mine for 3 years and I feel it has the same finish as when I bought it. However, the only difference I've noticed, is that the caviar pearls are flattened out a bit and not as defined, so it looks more smooth than it originally did. I'm assuming because of that, the bag can look shinier with age, but so far it hasn't been significant enough. Hope that helps! xx

[@fredytunoncarbo5019]

RoseEllina What a reference he has Chanel small flap? I like it

[@TruthThatSetsFreeMinistries]

hows the small lambskin on wear? considering a lamb mini instead of caviar bc looks better. but durability with caviar is in back of my mind

[@Roseellina]

+Adrienne Bundy I've found lambskin to be quite durable. It ages better than caviar and if anything happens, it's easily repaired as its in its natural state (of leather). Personally I think the lambskin is more delicate thing to be a myth. Lambskin shows age quicker but it does so softly whereas caviar looks good for X amount of years and then when it starts to wear it looks old and used. Hope that helps! I'm also looking into getting a mini and I'm definitely going for lamb 🙂

[@TruthThatSetsFreeMinistries]

RoseEllina thank you

[@oylee64]

even in vintage market, it seemed more lambskin items are available, so RoseElina you might be right that Caviar is long lasting but not long enough to become vintage

[@Roseellina]

+J Lee It's probably because caviar leather is treated to make the texture and lamb skin is natural. Usually leather that has been previously treated doesn't hold up as well as natural leather.

[@oylee64]

I got the lambskin card holder which has the half moon bag at the back which is so cute, might be i can see how the lambskin wear and tear by time

[@irinisamtzinoglou4733]

i like you and your review you are so sweat!!!! i love love love the chanel small flap bag,,,,

[@shradhdagurung7022]

had to watch it at 2x speed 😬🤧

[@dailyczari]

This is a great comparison! I have a video of the medium vs small size ! So this is like the next size down 😊🙌🏻

[@mangostaterrorifica]

Hi: if you were to choose one as your first Chanel bag which one will you go for?

[@Roseellina]

+Claudia Miranda Personally I'd get the WOC or a mini flap - hope that helps :)

[@mangostaterrorifica]

Thanks

[@michelledang4475]

Did you purchase your small classic flap pre owned or new? And do you have a preference between the two? Thank you! :)

[@Roseellina]

+Michelle Dang I definitely prefer the WOC :)

[@mikaelagonzales1829]

i think woc is the best to buy this time coz now a days more people are like using small bags

[@newmoon320]

Great comaprison, review and you are so cute!

[@Roseellina]

+newmoon320 Thanks so much dear! xx

[@newmoon320]

+RoseEllina You are welcome. Slowly catching up your videos. Found out you like where I live! Aloha from Hawaii

[@Roseellina]

[@lyntran1172]

Caviar VS lambskin? Which one do you prefer hon?

[@Roseellina]

+lyn tran Definitely lambskin!

Hi new subscriber here , just incase you wanna sell your flap bag , please let me know I would like to buy it Thank you in advance

[@chocolacap691]

.

[@ashleynunusu]

Woc is meant to be a large wallet... So just keep it that way. You are gonna destroy it over time by fitting in THAT many things. And the shape doesn't look as pretty anymore when u put that many things in the woc.

[@Roseellina]

ashleynunusu I'm not concerned with it looking pretty, it's meant to serve a purpose of holding your items - not to be kept pristine. It's just a bag. If it gets destroyed, so be it I bought it so I can choose how to treat it.

[@ashleynunusu]

RoseEllina yup u do whatever u like

[@veniceblairxo5465]

why u carry so much trash ! lmao i would only carry 1 card wallet for credit cards /1 set of keys / 1 lipstick n thats IT!! omg all those trash receipts only my gramma carries receipts.

[@aliceq4438]

Showing a fake double flap ? Seriously? It's so obvious that this is a fake Chanel !

[@Roseellina]

+Alice Q You really shouldn't be so aggressive towards strangers. Considering it's been authenticated by several Chanel authenticators, you might consider brushing up on your info 🙂

[@Ottolineification]

why do you think it's fake?
