LV Pochette Accessoires vs Chanel Wallet on Chain (Which Would You Choose?)

[@chercher6711]

This is a really interesting comparison!! I have both but they serve such different purposes. I always feel way more chic with the Chanel, but the PA is indestructible and doubles as a catch all. I say I get way more use out of my PA, but my WOC brings me more joy and adds way more to an outfit!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Well said!!! I feel very much the same!

[@cynthiapura3100]

The Chanel WOC is definitely a better buy considering material & aesthetic💚

[@Mommyingthis]

I loveeeeee my WOC. I got the trendy CC WOC tho. I didn’t like how the classic WOC doesn’t have gromets and the leather sides start to go upward eventually. Plus it’s super long of a chain so you have to get creative to get it to the perfect length. The trendy cc WOC is very adjustable because of the gromets. Trendy cc WOC tho is a few hundred dollars more than the classic so it gets pretty pricey. For the PA, I’ve never been a fan, let alone for the price. It’s canvas. At least for chanel it’s leather… but that’s for me personally

[@AnUrbanGypsy]

The Trendy WOC looks so nice.

[@RaqReviews]

LV Pochette for sure. Just got it January this year. Before the price increase. I feel like the LV one is more versatile with its strap. But I do still want that WOC either the black or red eventually. Great video as always 🧡

[@mattuntalan9193]

I got the PA back in 2020 when it was $630 😬 I keep all my essentials in it and what I like most is that I usually transfer it from bag-to-bag I use almost like an organizer or toiletry pouch. However, if I'm in a hurry, I can just stick a crossbody strap on it and run - definitely an essential piece in my collection.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yes!! Super easy and versatile! 👌

[@sarah0098]

LV pochette for sure. More functional, lighter and carefree. I would wear it in bad weather and running errands. If I were to buy Chanel I would buy a mini or classic flap as the investment would be more worth it, in my eyes

[@ranaplans]

I love my WOC and it can be dressed up or down. It's also more discreet in my opinion🥰

[@melissac4698]

Love my WOC!!!!

[@4cornersgalsst415]

I think the LV Pochette Monogram is the all-time best luxury intro purchase. I've never regretted buying mine. As you've demo'ed, it stores a ton, but is pretty casual. For evening, I use the LV Pochette in EPI - I own in both the black and red. I don't own the WOC, but am forever thinking about it. Love the comparison -- thank you!

[@Bagellatte]

Both are pretty purses and 1 is more classy imo. I recently purchased my WoC Chanel 19 and absolutely love it. The chains are so pretty n yet it can be dress up or down with different looks. Absolutely love both I say :)

[@tashahartman38]

Interesting, I do have the pochette and I love it when I want to size down and dress up my outfit. I have had my eye on the WOC just because again I’d like something small I can use to size down and dress up or down. What has stopped me? The price to be honest. I don’t mind canvas because to me I could use either with anything I wear. It’s just difficult for me to justify 3000 dollars really just for leather and it doesn’t hold as much as the pochette. Will I get the WOC, yep one day I will lol. Just wasn’t in a hurry because the pochette does work for me. Thank you for the comparison ❤️❤️

[@sherryjobe8941]

I recently purchased the LV Pochette accessories . I had been looking at the Chanel WOC. I own a Speedy 30 that I purchased years ago from LV and have enjoyed it. I was looking to downsize to a simple bag for everyday and pulled the trigger on the LV Pochette. Even with the price increase I could see myself using this bag more vs the Chanel WOC. Very happy with my purchase

[@dreaarc1]

The pochette accessories is a must. It fits alot for a small bag, goes w everything, lasts forever and is an all season bag. U can also play w different chain and straps for it and really dress it up or down.

[@suzanneobrien5279]

Out of the 2 I use my PA a hundred times more ...it's my go to 'running errands' bag when I just need my wallet and phone. However, I find the WoC more aesthetically pleasing - but I want to keep it looking nice for as long as possible so I use it more on holidays or days out.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Makes sense!

[@maneerasaxena2594]

Such an interesting comparison! Between these two, I much prefer the WOC. And even though it doesn’t pack as much, I still think it’s worth it’s current price. I can’t say the same for LV anymore. I have a Neverfull in empreinte leather and that comes with a pochette that I use much like you use the PA. It doesn’t have much depth but it still fits all my essentials as it’s quite a large pouch. Unlike the canvas pieces, the leather version holds its shape better to be a mini bag and the zipper doesn’t get wonky when you fill it up. The leather stretches and accommodates most essentials (card holder, mini hand sanitizer, keys, lipstick and sunglasses) with ease and I can add a variety of chains & straps to change up the look.

[@arcilimccauley2113]

Lv pochette accessories and Chanel wallet on chain I own bought of them. My lv pochette accessories is old version I had for 9 yrs I bought pre-loved for $120 i love it to death. MY CHANEL WOC I DONT REALLY USE IT BCOZ I DONT FIT All my stuffes I need it. I sold it one of my friend. My lv is my forever bag. Thank you for comparison both of them.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Sounds like the PA is just perfect for you! 👌

[@annydu5361]

I would pick the Chanel WOC hands down! Its so much more fancier in terms of elegance and its a timeless classic! Love to own one 😊

[@melissac4698]

WOC for me. I am moving away from monogram pieces, but I do have a mini Pochette and I love it. I also have an Alma BB in Damier Ebene. It really packs a punch. I’ve promised myself no more vachetta leather, so I sold my Pochette Metis. I’m trying to simplify my collection and get classic bags only.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

While I’m a big fan of the Pochette Métis, I’m also a big fan of simplifying! Good for you! 👍

[@shzr6439]

Great video thank you. I own both of these bags and love them both. My PA is vintage from 2000 which I purchased a year ago as I couldn’t find it in store. I use both bags differently the WoC mainly for evening and PA as a day bag. Both are great and I highly recommend both. If I was to choose between them I would choose the WoC over the PA as it is leather and looks in better quality but I am happy I have both.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Sounds like you’re enjoying them both! 👏

[@kbaut2579]

This is a difficult one. I don't think either of them are worth their current prices. I have the LV MPA so in a sense I already own the PA, but I would NOT pay the current price for the MPA - $2700+ for canvas is not worth it. However, if I had to pick between the MPA of the Chanel WOC at their current prices. I'd pick the WOC because at least it is all leather, even though it fits less.

[@msdiamondnicolee]

That Chanel bag look like something I can buy at Walmart I’ll go with the LV pouchette 😍

[@bocabunny7151]

The PA hands down, probably not at the current price. So glad purchased mine several years ago. Personally not a fan of the WOC, though about purchasing one many years ago, but didn’t seem to practical.

I don’t see a lot of comparisons with these two and I was looking for that~~ so thank you!!

[@lou2940]

I great video, as always 🙂 Definitely the WOC, it's classic and can be dressed up and down easily. With the pochette, LV are charging too much for something that's basically a canvas pouch.

[@anna-liisapitkaaho-pussila770]

I have both and I love both. Worth money? In my opinion yes, if you really want them and use them 👍🏽

[@xiaonanchen7061]

I know Chanel WOC is much more expensive, but it’s totally worth the $$. Especially compare it with Chanel classic bags. This one has the classic look and fits a lot essentials. I just bought it from our NY trip last month. Loving it so much. Super versatile, from running errands to evening outings. Go with all styles and colors. Best value for $$😉

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Glad you’re enjoying your WOC! I do think it’s a great classic piece!

[@abcdee4090]

Great comparison as usual! I think ultimately the woc is more worth it because of the material and compartments but the PA is easier to grab and go and not have to play puzzle as much when packing it up. Both great bags though

[@emmk6606]

I like the Chanel one better. I am saving up for it, it's probably the only Chanel bag I will ever purchase, the price point is just too much I cannot justify buying the flap/ boy bags, etc.

[@premeyumlife443]

I had both n sold both. 😅to purchase again, maybe the WOC if the strap is shorten. Thanks for sharing my lady. ❤️😘😘😘Sandy

[@YosheaLux]

The LV piece is my favorite. But don’t get me wrong I love my Chanel WOC. It is one of my Davis’s well. Such a great comparison.

[@landalanda]

I love both! To me they serve different purposes. My PA in DA I have an Amazon organizer that has a lot of compartments and it takes up less space than the Zoomoni one I bought. After switching out the Zoomoni organizer I could fit a bit more. The PA can be used as a purse or a catch all in a larger bag. I do have different straps to dress the PA for different occasions. I think the PA has multi use while a woc is a woc. I don’t own a Chanel woc yet, but I do have a Coach woc and a YSL woc. The YSL woc is the same dimension as the Chanel woc with 3 less compartments (back pocket, flap zip deep pocket, pocket next to zip pocket). I use the wocs as wocs and I love how cute it looks, simple and easy. I feel both are functional in their own way and it’s good to have both. I can’t wait till the day I can own a Chanel woc! 😊

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Ooh, have you watched my recent video showing affordable alternatives to popular handbags? I shared one that is verrrry similar to the Chanel WOC! Maybe you can give it a try since you seem to like WOCs in general! 😉

[@landalanda]

@@hellocatwalkcity Oh yes! I did watch that! The Mulberry is very pretty!! I didn’t know they had one. Part of me thinks I should keep saving for the Chanel woc because I’ve settled for less before and I end up still wanting the luxury version. In the case of wocs, I do love my Coach Anna/Hayden and YSL woc, but I still want a Chanel woc. The price is outrageous for what it is, but it is sooo pretty! I really hope I can find a good condition Chanel woc one day for a decent/fair price. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🍀🍀🍀😁

It’s the chanel woc for me, my first beloved chanel piece and I’m happy to wear it causal or dressed up. Not so keen on LV but I fell in love with the PA Damier Azur, it looks like it fits more but I don’t like it when the overall shape and zip distorts when it’s packed. PA is summery and had to buy a new strap to make it work for me but it’s the WOC that gives me butterflies

Can’t blame you! Chanel just has that look that only Chanel can give! 😉

[@annakim5589]

I have both. My woc is just like yours except with gold hardware and I bought it when it was 1400. I bought the pochette acc when it was around 400. I’m so glad I bought them when I did. I use my woc more these days. Chanel has my heart right now but I have a good collection so I would like to be done especially with the price increases. But I know it’s not true! 😅 not sure if I can say which is better. What I can say is that I would buy the woc first if I didn’t already have both.

Between the two I would go for the LV Pochette, which I have and love. At the current prices I would not buy it however. I would go for the YSL WOC which I also love.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

The YSL WOC is a great option!

[@_lavendersky]

TFS! It's great to see the comparison on the capacity for the 2 items. I'm a fan of both brands (despite LV quality issues), but I prefer the Chanel WOC just because nowadays I prefer nothing too flashy

I understand. While I really enjoy my Pochette Accessoires, sometimes I’m just not in the mood for all the monogram. I get it. 😉

[@magnoliarose5910]

I have several WOCs and no PAs. But I have something similar to the PA from LV that I use all the time, so I think that per use, surpass my WOCs that I do rotate depending on the season.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Rotating our bags is a job in itself! 😂

[@ginamorris4520]

I really wanted the discontinued Favorite but I couldn't do the preloved for so many reasons so I've been eyeing the PA at the stores but it was always unavailable and at one time I was showed one but it's in DA so I said no I want the MNG😪. Last Mother's Day we went to a Gucci outlet and I fall in love with the Gucci Soho Camelia. It cost me $1,080 with tax. It has the functions of the Favorite but in all light leather and less casual than the PA.

[@ma_gicquel2118]

The LV will always be timeless.. the woc is too small for the price.. better have the classic flap!

[@dflowers1477]

The WOC is pretty, but is literally a wallet on a chain. It barely holds any extra items. My pochette holds my sunglasses, phone, keys, small wallet, lipstick and hand sanitizer. On top of that I don’t worry about shoving it into my travel bag or wearing it in the rain. I think a channel mini comes closer in usage to the pochette than the WOC.

[@dflowers1477]

The Chanel gives a polished look but the LV is a work horse that is worry free and easy on your back. I prefer the Pochette Accessories.

[@MendingWall]

I think the woc is more worth it if it works for you. I had the woc and sold it. It was beautiful but the functionality was awful. Chain too long ( wrapping around flap can make bag flip upside down when opening) and storage too limited. I need space for glasses and it's not practical squeezing them in. The PA though, fits everything, can have different strap options, love it. I have the original (paid. $250) and the NM ( paid $500) . I don't think I would pay the current price though.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

The PA definitely fits more! Especially if you need to fit your glasses, I agree, hands down the PA! 👍

[@AnUrbanGypsy]

WOC hands down, so much nicer. The Pochette Accessoires needs a different strap than what it comes with, so you have to buy extras to make it work if you have no other straps to use and I don’t believe you can dress it up; save a bit more and buy the Félicie Pochette if you want it for evening. Even the Double Zip Pochette is nicer. People generally pay for everything via phone these days or have their driver’s license or train card on an App., so it doesn’t even need to hold cards. I get the mini version but I’m surprised this is still available.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I agree the Felicie is a great option for a slightly dressier look!

[@melnyc3296]

Well when you put it that way…lol I got my PA back in early 2020 I believe - I paid $560 or $590 for the monogram and was not interested in the DA and had several opportunities to purchase it back then. Once it went up to $700+ I decided I did want the DA and told my SA but time went by and nothing. Once it hit over $900 I decided it wasn’t worth it. When it hit $1200+ I just laughed and scoffed. That said, I’m not batting an eye at dropping over 3k on a Chanel woc lol - I’ve actually been back and forth considering if to just bite the bullet with the DA PA bc it will just continue going up and it’s available now. I know I’ll get a lot of use out of it, I guess it’s just the fact that just 2 years ago is was less than half the price so I feel like a fool now if I decide to buy it. Comparing it to the woc puts it in another perspective so now I’m thinking maybe it is worth it, it does fit a bit more and I am more of a casual dresser so it will be practical for me. I still want the woc though, I think it’s very overpriced but nothing comes close to it for me in terms of the aesthetics - I like that the logo is really small and love the chain on it plus the versatility and that it is leather. Thanks for another great video!!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

It’s all relative when it comes to price isn’t it? 😂 I think that’s why I received requests to do this video, because as much as we don’t like that the PA is now nearly $1300, compared to the WOC’s price, it FEELS more affordable. 😅

[@sandys4509]

Thank you for sharing. I have a quick question - it seems to me that the bottom of the LV PA could "sink" over time because the material is relatively soft. Wondering if you have noticed that? Also, does the pattern on the sides look symmetrical (like the logo appears to be in the middle, etc.) a few PAs i looked at in the store seem to have an issue where the pattern on the sides look asymmetrical. Thanks!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

The LV PA is a pouch so it’s definitely softer, not meant to be hard or structured. I love how malleable and soft the canvas is actually. But that gives it a casual vibe, unlike the structure and polish of the Chanel WOC. As for the symmetry of the monogram pattern, I’ve never seen a PA with lined up monogram! 😂

[@tanyapollar3931]

I’m not sure if this a fare comparison. The wallet on chain isn’t as pliable as the pochette. I think it would be a far comparison the wallet on chain to the Felicie. It’s like comparing the min pochette to the o pouch.
