History of the Chanel Wallet on Chain (WOC)
The Chanel Wallet on Chain (WOC) was first introduced around the ‘90, and since then, it has become a groundbreaking icon in the realm of handbags. The WOC seamlessly merged the functionality of a wallet with the elegance of a classic Chanel bag. For the time, its ingenious design, featuring a compact size and a long chain and leather strap, not only offered practicality but also played a pivotal role in shaping the trend towards more miniature-sized bags.
The WOC quickly became a cult favorite as Chanel lovers would enjoy the best of both worlds – a versatile wallet and getting to have a sophisticated Chanel handbag at their side. The classic WOC style from Chanel shares a lot of the same iconic features and details as the ever-popular classic Chanel Double Flap. The popularity of the WOC has transformed fashion and showcased Chanel’s comment on innovation, always inspired by their fearless founder, Coco Chanel.
