Chanel's Wallet on Chain Gets a Classic Flap-Inspired Update

Chanel's seasonal bags often steal the spotlight, but the brand's small leather goods are equally coveted. Among these, the Wallet on Chain (WOC) stands out as a practical yet stylish piece. It's essentially a large wallet attached to Chanel's signature leather-woven chain strap, offering a hands-free option for those who prefer to travel light.

A Fresh Look for an Iconic Style

For the Metiers d'Art 2016 collection, Chanel has reimagined the WOC with a design that pays homage to the timeless Classic Flap. This new iteration features a curved front and the iconic turnlock closure, making it an attractive entry point for those new to Chanel.

An Accessible Entry into Chanel

The WOC has long been a popular first purchase for Chanel enthusiasts, offering a more accessible price point than the Classic Flap bag. Starting at $2,000, this new WOC is a more budget-friendly alternative, while still delivering the craftsmanship and luxury Chanel is known for.

Will the Classic WOC Continue?

The original WOC, with its straight flap and snap closure, is expected to remain in the lineup. This new design appears to be an addition, joining other WOC styles inspired by the Boy and Reissue bags. For those seeking their first Chanel piece, this Classic Flap-inspired WOC offers a familiar aesthetic with a fresh twist.

Available now at Chanel boutiques, the Long Flap Wallet is priced at $2,000, and the Wallet on Chain Bag at $2,100.
