Q: What size is this brooch? A: This Chanel Camellia Corsages Brooch measures approximately 7.5 x 7.5 cm with a depth of around 1 cm. It has a noticeable floral presence without being oversized, making it easy to style on a lapel, knit or scarf.
Q: What is it made from? A: This piece features black fabric with gold-tone hardware. The soft textile flower and warm metal finish give it the classic Chanel camellia look.
Q: How does it fasten? A: It has a pin closure at the back. That makes it well suited to blazers, coats, knitwear, scarves and other fabrics that can comfortably support a brooch.
Q: How do people usually wear a camellia brooch? A: Camellia brooches are commonly worn on jacket lapels, coats, knitwear, denim or tweed jackets, scarves and hat ribbons. For very delicate fabrics, pin it carefully or choose a sturdier area so the textile is not stressed.
Q: Why is the camellia so iconic for Chanel? A: The camellia is one of Chanel's most recognisable house symbols and remains a recurring motif in the brand's collections. That is part of what makes vintage camellia brooches so collectible and easy to style.
Q: What condition is this vintage brooch in? A: It is listed in Very Good condition. The piece shows light traces of use, and the gold-tone hardware remains shiny with light scratches consistent with careful vintage wear.
Q: What is included with the brooch? A: A box is included. Everything that comes with the item should be considered as listed in the product information on this page.
Q: How should I care for a vintage fabric Chanel brooch? A: Handle it gently and put it on after applying fragrance, hairspray and cosmetics. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, humidity and strong sunlight, and if it gets damp, blot it carefully with a soft cloth. When not in use, store it separately in its box to help protect the fabric flower and hardware.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is checked by in-house experts before sale. We assess details such as materials, construction, finish, branding and overall consistency, and we stand behind the authenticity of the pieces we offer.
