10 Best Designer Wallets On Chain – WOCs
There’s no doubt that totes are great. However, on the days when I need to carry just my essentials, I still prefer a wallet on chain (WOC). This compact bag is like a cross between a bag and a wallet. Not only does it help you carry only what you really need, but it means you won’t be searching endlessly through your massive tote and all your belongings for your wallet when you need it.
WOCs are also among some of the designer brand’s most affordable bags, making them an excellent entry point into the world of luxury handbags. So, if you’re new to designer bags, investing in one of these is a smart choice, or if you’re just looking for a way to downsize – read on for the 10 best designer wallets on chain.

The Chanel Classic Wallet on Chain is one of my favorite WOCs, and while it’s on the pricier side (the Chanel Classic WOC currently retails for $3,350), it’s a solid investment choice if you’re looking for a starter designer bag.
