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 the fit and length of this choker? A: The perimeter is approximately 38 cm, designed to sit close to the neck like a classic choker. For best fit, measure your neck and add 1–2 cm for comfort. If you prefer extra room, you can add a small necklace extender without altering the piece.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: This model has a lobster clasp. Minor adjustment may be possible by fastening to different links, but it is primarily intended to be worn at around 38 cm. A short extender can provide additional length if needed.
Q: What are the key materials and features? A: Gold-tone hardware with a black leather–interwoven chain, a central black medallion featuring the CC logo, and a lobster clasp closure. It is a vintage Chanel design made in Italy.
Q: What is the condition of this item? A: Very good condition with light signs of use. The hardware is shiny with light surface scratches, consistent with gentle wear on a vintage piece. Please review the photos and product information for full details.
Q: What is included according to the product information? A: This piece comes with a box. Everything included is listed under the product information section; if an item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How should I care for the leather and gold-tone finish? A: Handle with care and avoid contact with water, perfumes, lotions, and cleaning chemicals. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth and store separately in its box or a soft pouch away from humidity and direct sunlight. Do not use metal polishes or abrasive cloths; avoid conditioning the leather unless advised by a leather-care professional.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, pool, or during exercise? A: No. Moisture, chlorine, and perspiration can dull the plating and dry or stain the leather. Remove the choker before bathing, swimming, or workouts.
Q: Is the hardware hypoallergenic? A: Chanel costume jewellery is typically gold-tone plated over base metal and is not solid gold. If you have sensitive skin or metal allergies, limit prolonged contact and consider using a jewellery barrier product. Discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: Where is the Chanel hallmark usually found and what does it mean? A: Many vintage Chanel necklaces have a small signature plaque near the clasp. Depending on the era, it may include the Chanel name and a season/year code that helps identify the production period. The exact placement and style vary by collection.
Q: How do you authenticate this piece? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, construction, stamping/hallmarks, hardware, and overall craftsmanship, supported by historical references. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
