Q: What is the Chanel Chain Belt with medallion charm? A: It’s an authentic vintage Chanel chain‑link waist belt in gold‑tone metal, featuring a round medallion charm with the CC logo and a hook closure. Details can vary by production year—please review our photos and description for the exact characteristics of this piece.
Q: What does size 85 mean and how do I choose the right fit? A: Chanel belt sizing is given in centimetres. For chain belts, the hook fastens to any link for an adjustable fit. “85‑Adjustable” typically suits waists/hips around the mid‑80 cm range depending on how high or low you wear it. Measure where you intend to wear the belt and compare to approximately 85 cm; the chain allows some flexibility when hooking to different links.
Q: How do I fasten and adjust this chain belt? A: Attach the hook to any chain link to secure and adjust the length. Ensure the hook is fully closed and positioned so the medallion sits where you want (front, side or slightly draped). Avoid forcing the hook across multiple links or twisting the chain, which can stress the metal.
Q: Can it be worn through belt loops? A: Many Chanel chain belts are designed to be worn over garments (at the waist or hips) rather than threaded through standard belt loops. Depending on loop size, the chain and medallion may not pass comfortably. Most customers style it over dresses, knitwear, blazers or at the hips over trousers/denim.
Q: Is it unisex and how can I style it? A: Yes—Chanel chain belts are widely worn by all genders. Style it to cinch the waist over dresses, blazers and coats, or drape it at the hips with denim or tailored trousers. Position the medallion to the front or side for a classic vintage look.
Q: What materials and finish does it have? A: This belt features gold‑tone metal with a chain‑link design and CC medallion charm. Chanel costume belts are typically crafted from base metal with gold‑tone plating; exact finish and weight can vary by model/year. Please refer to our photos for the specific tone and texture of this piece.
Q: How should I care for a gold‑tone chain belt? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth after wear. Keep away from moisture, perfumes, lotions and alcohol‑based cleaners, which can dull plating. Avoid abrasives and prolonged sunlight. Store flat or hung to prevent kinks, and protect the medallion and hook from rubbing against other metal items to minimise scratches.
Q: Will the plating tarnish or fade over time? A: Vintage gold‑tone pieces may show hairline scratches or slight tone changes with normal wear. Minimise friction and contact with perspiration and chemicals, and store properly. Professional replating by a specialist is possible but may affect originality and resale value.
Q: Does it have a serial number or hallmark, and how is authenticity verified? A: Chanel belts usually feature brand stamps or a small hallmark tag rather than a serial number; placement varies by model and year. A Retro Tale authenticates every item through rigorous multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and hardware—presence or absence of a code alone is not definitive.
Q: Can the length be altered or extra links added? A: Adjustment is achieved by hooking onto different links. Permanent alterations (adding or removing links) should only be done by an experienced jeweller; modifications may affect brand service options and resale value. We do not recommend home alterations.
Q: What is included and where is it made? A: Please see the Accessories section and photos for inclusions; this listing shows no accessories. The country of origin label indicates France for this piece.
