Q: What typically fits inside a Chanel Wallet On Chain (WOC)?
A: With its compact footprint (approx. 19 × 13 × 5 cm on this piece) and built‑in card slots, it is ideal for a large smartphone, passport, keys, lipstick and a few slim essentials. To maintain the sleek shape and easy snap closure, keep items flat and avoid bulky cases or overfilling. Refer to the Measurements and photos on this page for exact capacity of this item.

Q: Will a large smartphone (e.g., iPhone Pro Max) fit in the WOC?
A: Many owners report that a Pro/Pro Max‑sized phone fits when placed flat and without a thick case, though the fit can be snug and depends on what else you carry. If overfilled, the snap may be harder to close. For best results, remove bulky cases and keep contents minimal.

Q: Is the chain strap adjustable or removable?
A: The WOC’s leather‑interwoven chain is not designed to be removable or formally adjustable. The drop on this piece is approximately 62 cm, which typically works well cross‑body. Many owners shorten the look by looping the chain inside the bag before closing the flap.

Q: How can I wear it?
A: The WOC is versatile and can be styled cross‑body, on the shoulder, doubled for a shorter drop, or with the chain tucked in as a clutch or an oversized wallet.

Q: What are the benefits of Chanel’s caviar leather on this bag?
A: Caviar (grained calfskin) is known for its textured finish and day‑to‑day durability, showing scratches and fingerprints less readily than lambskin while remaining structured and elegant.

Q: How should I care for this WOC?
A: Keep it away from prolonged light and humidity, wipe gently with a soft cloth, and store upright in a breathable pouch with the chain wrapped to avoid marks. Avoid overstuffing and keep items flat so the snap and quilting keep their shape over time.

Q: What does the serial number 26215913 indicate?
