Pin this vintage Chanel clover brooch to a blazer lapel for spring weddings, race-day looks or chic brunches. The lilac resin and red CC add a playful pop of colour, while silver-tone hardware keeps it polished—perfect for elevating dresses, knitwear or a classic coat.
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 this Chanel brooch made of? A: It features a lilac resin four‑leaf clover motif with a red interlocking CC logo and silver‑tone metal hardware with a traditional pin closure. As a Chanel costume jewellery piece, it combines resin with plated metal for a lightweight yet durable finish.
Q: How big is it and how does it feel when worn? A: The brooch measures approximately 4 × 4 cm. Thanks to the resin construction, it feels lighter than many full‑metal brooches and is comfortable on lapels and medium‑weight knits.
Q: Will a brooch pin damage delicate fabrics? A: Pins can leave small holes in fine textiles. For delicate fabrics like silk or lightweight cashmere, place the pin through a thicker seam, double the fabric, back the area with a small piece of felt, or use a magnetic brooch converter. Heavier fabrics (tweed, wool, denim, structured coats) are usually more suitable.
Q: How should I style this piece? A: Classic options include the lapel of a blazer or coat, the shoulder of a knit, or at the neckline of a dress. You can also group it with other brooches, secure it to a ribbon or scarf, or use a removable brooch‑to‑pendant converter to wear it on a chain. Avoid very slippery or ultra‑thin fabrics to minimise pulls.
Q: How do I care for resin and silver‑tone plated jewellery? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth after wear. Keep away from water, perfumes, lotions, alcohol‑based products and household chemicals. Avoid high heat and prolonged direct sunlight, store it separately in a soft pouch or box, and do not use abrasive cleaners or polishing agents.
Q: Can resin discolour or scratch over time? A: Resin is durable but can scratch if rubbed against hard surfaces. Prolonged exposure to strong light or heat may cause yellowing or dullness; storing the brooch away from direct sunlight and high temperatures helps preserve its colour and clarity.
Q: What is the condition of this item? A: Very Good condition with light signs of use. The hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches, consistent with gentle wear. Please refer to the photos for the most accurate view.
Q: What is included with my purchase? A: Please refer to the product information on this page; this piece is listed without any additional items such as a box or dust bag unless otherwise stated.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate Chanel jewellery? A: Every item undergoes multi‑point checks by our in‑house experts, including assessments of materials, construction, hardware, and hallmarks. Many Chanel brooches feature an oval signature plaque on the reverse, but stamp style varies by era and is not the sole indicator of authenticity—overall quality and construction are evaluated together. We are happy to provide additional details on request.
