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 does Chanel belt size 95 mean and what waist does it fit? A: Designer belts are typically sized in centimetres from the buckle prong to the middle hole. A size 95 measures about 95 cm (approx. 37.4 in) to the centre hole and usually suits those whose belt line is around 93–97 cm when worn at the waist. If you wear the belt lower on the hips, you may need a larger size. The most reliable method is to measure a belt you already use from the buckle to the hole you use most often and match that to 95 cm.
Q: Is this belt genuinely reversible and how do I switch between black and burgundy? A: Yes—the strap has two usable faces (black and burgundy). Reversible belts generally use either a swivel (pivot) buckle or a strap attachment that allows the buckle to release, rotate, and lock back in place. Flip to the desired colour and re‑secure the buckle without forcing the mechanism. If you meet resistance, stop and contact us for guidance.
Q: Will this belt fit through standard jean loops and dress trousers? A: Belt loops vary. Please refer to the product information on this page for the exact strap width and compare it to your garment’s loops. As a general guide, most jeans accept up to ~38 mm, while many dress trousers take ~30–32 mm.
Q: How much adjustability does a size 95 belt have? A: Most belts have five holes spaced roughly 2.5 cm (1 in) apart, with the labelled size measured to the centre hole. That gives around 5 cm of adjustment overall—two holes tighter and two looser from the middle hole.
Q: Can I add extra holes or shorten the belt? A: It’s possible, but we recommend using a professional leather specialist to preserve the finish and alignment. DIY punching or trimming can damage the leather and reduce collectability. If you need advice on sizing before altering, please contact us first.
Q: What does the stamp 07 V mean on Chanel pieces? A: Chanel uses lettered season/line codes on many non‑bag items. The mark 07 V typically indicates a design from 2007 in the classic/continuous line (V). Such stamps are often found on jewellery and other accessories and may also appear on belts’ hardware or leather stamps.
Q: Do Chanel belts have serial numbers like the bags? A: Unlike handbags and small leather goods that carry serial stickers or microchips in recent years, belts usually do not have interior serial numbers. Instead, you will typically see brand and size stamps and sometimes a seasonal or line code on the strap or buckle (e.g., 07 V).
Q: What is the buckle finish—Is silver‑tone real silver? A: The buckle is finished in a silver‑tone metal. It is not sterling silver. To keep it looking its best, avoid abrasive polishes and chemicals; simply wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
Q: How should I care for and store the leather strap? A: Keep the belt away from prolonged sunlight, moisture, and colour transfer (avoid dark fabrics against light leather and vice versa). After wear, wipe with a soft cloth and store flat or loosely rolled in its dust bag in a cool, dry place. Avoid over‑tight rolling or heavy pressure that could crease the leather.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this belt, a dust bag is included.
