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 Coco Mark Brooch authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What is it made from? Is it real gold? A: Chanel costume jewellery brooches are typically crafted from plated base metal in a gold‑tone finish rather than solid gold. This piece is described as gold‑tone with an intricate filigree CC logo and three dangling charms. If you would like us to confirm any composition details visible on the stamps or finish, just ask and we’ll check the brooch closely for you.
Q: How big is it and will it feel heavy on clothing? A: It measures approximately 7 cm (height) x 5 cm (width) x 1.5 cm (depth). It’s a statement size suitable for coats, blazers and sturdier knits. If you’d like the exact gram weight or a photo on model for scale, message us and we’ll provide it.
Q: How does it fasten and how can I keep it secure? A: It has a traditional pin fastening at the back. For extra security, you can add a small locking pin back or rubber stopper to the pin, and use a felt/backing disc on the inside of the garment to stabilise heavier fabrics. Test on a discreet area first and avoid very delicate weaves like fine silk to prevent pulls.
Q: Can I pin it on a scarf, hat or handbag? A: Yes—brooches are versatile. On scarves, pin through multiple layers or near a seam for support. On hats and structured coats, attach through a reinforced area. If styling on a handbag, pin through a strap or thick canvas; avoid thin or soft leathers that may mark. The dangling charms will move naturally, so keep clear of open knits to minimise snagging.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a vintage Chanel brooch? A: Many vintage Chanel brooches have an oval or round cartouche on the reverse stamped CHANEL and often “Made in France/Italy.” Some also include season or collection codes. This brooch is noted as France; please refer to our close‑up photos for any stamps present.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone finish and filigree details? A: Keep it dry and avoid contact with perfume, hairspray, lotions and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth—especially around filigree and moving charms. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store it separately in a pouch/box, away from humidity and direct sunlight, to minimise friction and preserve the plating.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Fashion jewellery can contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, we recommend pinning it over clothing so the metal doesn’t touch skin directly, or applying a clear barrier product to contact points. Discontinue wear if irritation occurs and consult a clinician for personalised advice.
Q: Can it be repaired, replated or worn as a pendant? A: A competent jeweller can usually straighten/tighten the pin, replace the catch, or perform light replating. You can also use a brooch‑to‑pendant converter to wear it on a chain. We don’t offer in‑house modifications but can suggest reputable specialists. Note that alterations may affect originality and resale value.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This piece is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible in line with its vintage nature. This listing includes no accessories unless specifically stated. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
