Review: Chanel Wallet On Chain in Black Caviar Skin and Gold Hardware

Price: CAD3200.00/USD2500.00

Info: This is not the official description of the product. The Wallet On Chain I own is in black caviar and gold hardware.

Where can I get it? Chanel

Best for those who:

  • Want a chic, classy, elegant light weight, versatile bag
  • Want a all in one accessory that can be used as a wallet, clutch, shoulder bag, or cross body bag

Product Range: 5/5

  • I believe their permanent collection consists of black and red in caviar and lamb skin, gold and silver hardware
  • Seasonal colours, hardwares, and leather
  • From a typical aged leather, to exotic leathers in bizarre colours

Wear and Tear: 5/5

  • One thing I love the most about Chanel caviar is the fact that you pay a high price tag for superb quality and real leather *cough LV canvas cough*
  • Too many luxury brands have classic handbags that don’t hold up to its wear if you don’t baby them, and I’m just not one to wipe my bag and protect it 24/7
  • I have brought it to night clubs, bars, vacation, and shopping, and it looks like I purchased it yesterday

Product Practicality: 4.5/5

  • It fits –
    • My Louis Vuitton 6 Key Holder, my car keys (which does not fit inside the Key Holder), a standard sized lipstick, a tube of hand cream, 6 cards, some bills, coins, and receipt
  • It’s very practical for those who are really looking to downsize
  • Versatile
  • The only unpractical part of this piece is the unadjustable strap. I am 5’6 (168 cm) and it hits right on my bum when I wear it cross body.

Other comments: 5/5

  • Price has gone by by USD400.00 since I purchased it. I did not purchase this piece to resell, and I don’t think I will ever sell this bag; but it’s good to know if you’re on the market for a bag to potentially resell it in couple years.
  • I wear this bag year round, and I have since barely touched my Louis Vuittons Guccis.
  • I have some slight shoulder problems, but this bag never bothered them

Overall: 4.9/5

That 0.1 goes to my shorter readers; the strap of the bag would be way too long if you are 5’5 and shorter. I sometimes find it an inch or two too long, so if you are shorter than me, it would be a problem. But other than that, this is hands down my most used bag in history. I bought it thinking I would end up using it for night outs and dinner dates. I ended up taking it everywhere I go because I love it so much!
