Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: Is this Chanel chain belt adjustable?
A: Yes. It features a hook closure that can fasten onto different links, allowing you to wear it high on the waist or lower on the hips. For the best fit, refer to the Measurements on this page and choose your preferred drape.
Q: What size range will it fit?
A: Because the hook can attach to multiple links, the belt suits a range of waist and hip sizes. As a guide, if your waist or hip measurement is at or below the listed length, it should fit; for a relaxed, draped look, allow a few extra centimetres.
Q: Can I wear a Chanel chain belt as a necklace or body chain?
A: Many chain belts can be styled as a statement necklace or layered chain, depending on the length and weight. If you try this, ensure the closure is secure and avoid activities that could stress the links.
Q: How does the closure work and is it secure?
A: The belt uses a metal hook that slips through a chosen link. For security, position the hook so it faces inward against the body and check that it is fully engaged before wear.
Q: Is the hardware real gold and will the colour last?
A: This belt is crafted in gold‑tone metal. Chanel fashion jewellery and chain belts are typically gold‑plated over a base metal rather than solid gold. Plating is durable with proper care but can show wear over time where there is frequent friction.
Q: How should I clean and care for a gold‑tone chain belt?
A: Wipe after wear with a soft, dry cloth. For occasional deeper cleaning, use a tiny drop of mild soap in lukewarm water on a soft cloth, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasives, perfume, lotions, and prolonged moisture. Store it flat or gently coiled in a cool, dry place, separated from other pieces to prevent scratches.
Q: What authenticity markers should I expect on a vintage Chanel chain belt?
A: Many vintage pieces have a small round or oval plaque near the clasp or a discreet stamp on the hook that reads Chanel and often Made in France; some plaques also include season codes on certain years. Stamps alone can be copied, so overall weight, construction and finish should also be considered. Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our in‑house experts.
Q: Are the CC medallions removable?
A: They are designed as fixed decorative elements and are not intended to be detached by the wearer. A professional jeweller may be able to alter chain components, but we do not recommend modifications as they can affect value and authenticity.
Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If a box, dust bag or other extras are not listed there, they are not included.
