Great video!! I have a Chanel WOC, purchased for $1200 in boutique back in 2006. I only use it occasionally, because of how small it is. I am thinking more and more about picking up a mini Evelyne because I think it would get a lot more use in my daily life. Thank you for the comparison!
I think I'd pick Hermes! I tried the WOC in store and I didn't feel it was anything that special 😬 The Hermes is more practical and I like that you can hide the logo by turning it around.
I have both. I use all of the compartments in the WOC. I put my cards in the cardholder slots and use the zipped pocket for cash. The Mini Evelyne is a little bigger as you said, but I store things vertically and don’t have trouble finding anything.
I’m so glad you’re doing this comparison! I have Chanel WOC and currently hunting the Evelyne mini 😅 For my height less than 5ft, these two are not really for me but I just love them (and it’s so classic too!)
Ah yes, neither are very petite-friendly when it comes to the chain/strap length. But you can play with the WOC chain to make it shorter and at least the Evelyne strap is removable if you want to add a shorter strap. Thanks for watching!
Great comparison video. I prefer the woc for its versatility from day to night, dress up/down, and can be a clutch. But I do love the Evelyne for a casual day bag.
I’ve heard mixed experiences with this. In my personal experience, I had very little purchase history before getting the mini Evelyne. In fact, my earlier purchases were in Paris years ago, so I don’t know if my NYC boutique even has that info. It was just two bracelets. The mini Evelyne was my first purchase from the NYC boutique, if that helps!
It very much depends on your boutique, the inventory available, and your own luck. I hadn’t purchased too many things yet - maybe two bracelets at the time and purchased separately too so I wasn’t some VIP or whatnot - but when I asked if they had a mini Evelyne (just in case they did) the SA told me that they had just had a shipment come in but the lady who reserved the bag had not shown up, so it was open for anyone who wished to purchase it. 😊 So don’t be afraid to ask if you really want it, because you’ll never know! Good luck!
I love and appreciate this showdown. I still plan on getting a WOC before it goes up AGAIN! But I also want the Evelyne but I feel safe to wait a bit before securing that bag. Fingers crossed Chanel prices don’t go up in September- would love to buy this as my birthday treat!
Showdown!! 😂 And absolutely, Chanel prices go up more frequently than Hermes prices so hopefully you have some time. Also the WOC historically stays the same price for at least a couple years before increasing again, so hopefully it stays at this price for a while! Thanks for watching the showdown!! 😉
Hello, in Montreal, on the preloved market (excellent condition), the Hermes Evelyn’s TPM is more expensive that the Chanel WOC. The Evelyn goes for approx $4K and more whereas the Chanel WOC goes for approx $3.3K.
I bought the WOC at the Heathrow airport about 4 years ago for 1900$ and sold it last year after wearing it twice, for some reason it's not for me (chain length worked but the bag looked tiny on me and...it looked exactly like a wallet, I couldn't unsee it 🙈).
Thanks for another helpful comparison! If you wear clothes/jackets with pockets, would you put your phone and/or hand sanitizer there instead? That’s what I usually do and that gives me a little more space in my small bags.
I love the WOC for travel but the strap is way to long. I loveeeee the mini Evelyn n I got colorful H canvas straps. 🌈🍊🌈 thanks for sharing my lady. ❤️😘😘😘Sandy
WOC for me even though I haven’t used either of the 2 I have in a long time. I had the PM Evelyne but I sold her recently because I just don’t like the look. The TPM is cute though but not really for me.
I still prefer the Chanel woc even though Hermes Evelyn is a nice bag. I do love the Hermes Evelyn bag, but that is one of those bags I will not buy because it just won’t function well for me. I don’t mind stacking things as I would in my wocs. I mainly stack my cosmetics in the woc loosely and I used the credit card slots. However, when it comes to tall narrow bags it is too hard to grab things stuck underneath the stack. I adore the look of the Evelyn but it just isn’t useful for me. If one day I have excess money and it is like spending pennies at Hermes I may get the Evelyn just for my collection. 😁
Hannah, hi ❤️ Are you still happy using with your Evelyne? Is it user-friendly? I sold my WOC because it was beautiful but I never reached for it, too tiny.
Yes! I enjoy using my mini Evelyne! But then again, I enjoy using my WOCs too. I don’t mind small bags since I typically don’t carry much. Hope that helps!
I shared this story a while back but at the time, there were no black caviar WOCs available across the US. I even called Chanel client service to track one down and there were none. So when I saw one on Fashionphile in brand new condition for slightly under retail, I snapped it up. I recall it was only about $50-75 less than retail but I was very happy with that because the WOC came with all tags attached, sticker still on the hardware, and full set as if it was from the boutique. Hope this helps!
@@hellocatwalkcity thank you for replying! I was just wondering, because I am considering a preloved one that is it excellent condition which is well under retail(about 800usd less), I find the new price for a brand new one very hard to swallow.
Chanel WOC, without a doubt. The style way better than the Mini Evelyne. You can use it from day to night. where as the Mini Evelyne looks way too casual and very boring style. I wouldn't buy it even if it was only 1K. Definitely not my style. haha!
I won’t buy Chanel now, quality control issues with high price points which is closing on par to Hermes. Evelyne can be modified to your use - you can easily replace the strap with other types of straps.

I prefer the Chanel WOC, it's more versatile going from day to night. As an entry level piece I want something that can do it all
Chanel WOC definitely wins in the versatility category! 👍
I love WOC. I am so glad I purchased my WOC many years ago when the price was below $2000

Wow, $1200! 🥺
Excellent idea to compare these two items! Thanks so much ! Very interesting.
Definitely the Chanel Wallet On Chain is better for me. Every time I see you talk and adore the WOC, you are making me love my WOC even more.
I think I'd pick Hermes! I tried the WOC in store and I didn't feel it was anything that special 😬 The Hermes is more practical and I like that you can hide the logo by turning it around.
True! The mini Evelyne is quite discrete when you turn the H towards you!
I have both. I use all of the compartments in the WOC. I put my cards in the cardholder slots and use the zipped pocket for cash. The Mini Evelyne is a little bigger as you said, but I store things vertically and don’t have trouble finding anything.

The Evelyne TPM is my most used bag. It is brilliant.
Great comparison video ..have both now ❤
Hope you’re enjoying both bags!

day to night, dress up/down, and can be a clutch. But I do love the Evelyne for a casual day bag.
💯 agree!
Hi Hanna, how hard to score a mini Evelyne at Hermes Boutique? Do they require a purchase history for non quota bag?
I’ve heard mixed experiences with this. In my personal experience, I had very little purchase history before getting the mini Evelyne. In fact, my earlier purchases were in Paris years ago, so I don’t know if my NYC boutique even has that info. It was just two bracelets. The mini Evelyne was my first purchase from the NYC boutique, if that helps!

Hermes Evelyn bc it can fit more ❤️
Omg Hermes Evelyne I miss mine I may have to repurchase her
1st here
Happy Thursday 🤗💕❤️💐💐
I prefer the Evelyne hands down🤗
Awww get her back! 🙈 😉 💕

I would get the mini Evelyne. I really like it in bold colors. Chanel is Chanel but I think the price is OD.

Ah I see. If it doesn’t work, better to let it go! 👌
Thanks for another helpful comparison! If you wear clothes/jackets with pockets, would you put your phone and/or hand sanitizer there instead? That’s what I usually do and that gives me a little more space in my small bags.
Yes, I’ll pop my phone in my coat pocket sometimes for ease! 😉
I love the WOC for travel but the strap is way to long. I loveeeee the mini Evelyn n I got colorful H canvas straps. 🌈🍊🌈 thanks for sharing my lady. ❤️😘😘😘Sandy
So fun to add a colorful strap to the mini Evelyne! 👏
Nice video! Last week purchased Evelyne 16 now it’s gone up to $2200 😢
WOC for me even though I haven’t used either of the 2 I have in a long time. I had the PM Evelyne but I sold her recently because I just don’t like the look. The TPM is cute though but not really for me.
I would like to get any one of them, but neither is accessable.
Can we have the direct link to the chain you used for the Hermes? Thanks
I still prefer the Chanel woc even though Hermes Evelyn is a nice bag. I do love the Hermes Evelyn bag, but that is one of those bags I will not buy because it just won’t function well for me.

It’s true - the vertical shaped bags are often tricky!
Love that Hermes!
I legit own both, and my WOC is annoying me because when it bulges, I am like ahhhh!!!!!
It’s definitely best not to overstuff the WOC. I only carry my essentials - which isn’t a lot.
Hannah, hi ❤️ Are you still happy using with your Evelyne? Is it user-friendly? I sold my WOC because it was beautiful but I never reached for it, too tiny.
Yes! I enjoy using my mini Evelyne! But then again, I enjoy using my WOCs too. I don’t mind small bags since I typically don’t carry much. Hope that helps!
@@hellocatwalkcity thank you so much for your reply! ☺️
WOC hands down
It will always be the WOC for me
Hello, may I ask what made you buy the woc from fashionphile? Was it priced higher or lower than retail? Thanks so much :)
I shared this story a while back but at the time, there were no black caviar WOCs available across the US. I even called Chanel client service to track one down and there were none.

I prefer the Evelyne. I would rather purchase a WOC from a difference designer at a much cheaper price.
Does the mini Evelyne sell on their site normally? I was looking for it and couldn't find it
Very rarely, it may pop up on the website but it’s like seeing a full moon! 😂 It doesn’t happen often.
@@hellocatwalkcity gotcha! I'll keep my eyes peeled thank you!
hermes!
Still chanel Woc over hermes evelyn! Lol😆
Chanel WOC, without a doubt. The style way better than the Mini Evelyne. You can use it from day to night. where as the Mini Evelyne looks way too casual and very boring style. I wouldn't buy it even if it was only 1K. Definitely not my style. haha!
