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: What is this Chanel Chain Belt and what are its key features? A: It is a vintage Chanel gold‑tone curb chain belt made in France, featuring an ornate diamond‑shaped medallion with a hook closure and a dangling CC logo charm. It is designed to be adjustable and can be styled to drape at the waist or hip.
Q: How does sizing work and what does “90‑Adjustable” mean? A: Chanel chain belts with a hook can fasten into different links, so they fit a range of sizes. “90‑Adjustable” indicates a maximum length of around 90 cm (about 35.4 inches), which you can shorten by hooking into an earlier link. For best fit, measure where you plan to wear it (waist or hips) and ensure it is within 90 cm.
Q: Can I wear it on the waist or on the hips? A: Yes. Chain belts are designed to be versatile—wear them cinched at the natural waist for structure or lower on the hips for a relaxed, draped look. Placement will affect the required length, so adjust the hook accordingly.
Q: Can a Chanel chain belt be worn as a necklace? A: Many vintage Chanel chain belts can double as statement necklaces if the length suits your neckline. Always fasten the hook securely and avoid twisting the chain to prevent kinks or undue stress on the links.
Q: Will this chain belt fit through standard belt loops? A: Most Chanel chain belts are styled over garments rather than threaded through loops. Some wider loops on coats or denim may accommodate slimmer chain styles, but this curb chain is primarily intended to drape on top of clothing.
Q: How should I care for a gold‑tone Chanel chain belt? A: Keep it dry and away from lotions, perfumes, and hairspray; wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth after wear; and store in a cool, low‑humidity place, ideally in a pouch with anti‑tarnish protection. Avoid abrasive polishes or chemicals that could damage the finish.
Q: What markings or stamps should I expect on a vintage Chanel chain belt? A: Many vintage pieces have a small round or oval cartouche stamped “CHANEL” and “MADE IN FRANCE,” and some 1990s items include season/date codes. Stamp style varies by era and model, and some authentic pieces may have different placements or lighter stamps. The presence or absence of a particular stamp is not conclusive by itself—A Retro Tale performs multi‑point authentication on every item.
Q: Can the belt be shortened or have links added? A: Day‑to‑day adjustment is done by hooking into different links. Permanent alterations (adding or removing links) should only be carried out by a skilled jewellery specialist and may affect collectability or resale value. We generally recommend keeping the belt in original condition.
Q: Does this listing include a box, dust bag or other accessories? A: No. This item is listed as having no accessories. Everything included is shown in the photos and stated in the Accessories section.
Q: What is the condition of this pre‑owned piece? A: It is described as Very Good Condition with light signs of use consistent with vintage metal. Please review the detailed photos to understand the exact state before purchase.
