Born in 1997, the iconic Wallet on Chain.
Quilted calfskin meets a gold-tone chain —
four ways to carry, one enduring icon.
CHANEL's Wallet on Chain (WOC) debuted in 1997 — a compact bag that changed everything. Quilted calfskin, interlocking CC hardware, and a versatile gold-tone chain in a silhouette small enough to slip under the arm, yet spacious enough for a full day out.
Beloved by editors and collectors worldwide, the WOC has appreciated in value every year for over 25 years — a rare luxury piece that earns its place in any wardrobe.

The calfskin in CHANEL's WOC is chosen for its smooth, supple grain — tight enough to hold the diamond quilting without losing its natural feel. Over time it develops a rich patina that enhances rather than diminishes the bag's character.
The hardware features the CC (Coco Chanel) logo engraved in gold-tone. Polished to catch the light, matte at the clasp — a deliberate contrast that defines the WOC's refined finish.
Calfskin × Leather Hardware
The WOC × Burgundy leather interior holds cards, cash, and essentials in a layout that makes sense the moment you open it. The main compartment fits a phone, while the zip pocket keeps coins secure — CHANEL's thoughtful craftsmanship, hidden where it counts.
Six card slots, a zip coin pocket, a flat slip pocket — all lined in a soft, non-marking burgundy leather for a finish that endures.
Burgundy × Leather × Card Slots ×6
Six card slots give single-handed access — zip coin pocket, flat slip pocket, open base pocket — all in the smallest possible footprint. Cards fan, bills fold, phone fits. Everything in its place without bulk.

CHANEL raises retail prices every year — and the WOC is no exception. Even at pre-owned prices, this piece retains and often exceeds its original retail value. A WOC bought today is not just a bag. It is an asset.
Authenticated pre-owned pieces offer the same CHANEL craftsmanship at a fraction of retail — with condition grading and global shipping you can trust.
