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 wrist sizes does this bracelet fit? A: This bracelet adjusts with its buckle and fits wrists up to 16 cm in circumference. For best results, measure your wrist snugly with a soft tape and add 0.5–1 cm for comfort. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the metal solid gold? A: No. This is Chanel costume jewellery with a gold‑tone metal finish rather than solid gold. Gold‑tone finishes can show light surface wear over time; careful handling and proper storage help maintain the shine.
Q: Will the metal tarnish or oxidise? A: Any plated or gold‑tone finish can dull if exposed to air, moisture, cosmetics or perspiration. Put the bracelet on after fragrance or lotion, avoid humidity, and store it dry and separately. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear to help preserve the finish.
Q: Can it get wet? A: We recommend keeping both the leather and metal away from water, steam and sweat. Moisture can dry out or distort leather and may accelerate oxidation of the metal. Remove the bracelet before showering, swimming, exercising or handwashing.
Q: How should I clean the leather and metal safely? A: For metal, use a clean, dry microfibre cloth only; avoid liquid cleaners, dips or ultrasonic machines. For the leather, gently wipe with a dry cloth; if needed, apply a tiny amount of a pH‑neutral leather conditioner on a soft cloth and buff lightly, keeping product away from the metal. Let it air‑dry away from heat and sunlight.
Q: Is the bracelet unisex? A: Yes. The woven chain with black leather is a timeless, minimalist design suitable for any gender. Just ensure your wrist measurement falls within the size range noted above.
Q: Can it be resized or have extra holes added? A: It adjusts using the built‑in buckle. While a specialist leatherworker could add holes, we do not recommend altering vintage Chanel leather as it may weaken the strap or affect future value. If you need guidance on fit, feel free to ask us.
Q: How is this bracelet authenticated? A: Chanel costume jewellery often includes a small oval or rectangular stamp indicating the brand and season; stamp styles vary by era and some pieces can show wear. Our experts authenticate using multiple indicators—materials, construction, stamping and overall craftsmanship—and we stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is detailed under the product information section. If an item such as a box or card is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What is the condition of this piece? A: Very Good. There are minor signs of wear on the leather strap, and the gold‑tone hardware is shiny with light surface scratches. Please review the photos for close‑up details.
