This vintage Chanel Leather Chain Belt in red features leather interwoven through a gold-tone chain, a CC logo pendant and a hook closure. In very good condition with light traces of use, it is a striking choice for parties, dinners or evening events, adding a polished Chanel touch over dresses, blazers or high-rise tailoring.
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 size 80 mean on this Chanel Leather Chain Belt? A: Size 80 usually refers to the intended fastening point in centimetres rather than the full end-to-end chain length. As a guide, it suits around an 80 cm waist placement, but the best check is to measure exactly where you plan to wear it, whether at the waist or lower on the hips.
Q: Is this chain belt adjustable? A: It has a hook closure on a chain construction, so there may be some flexibility in where it fastens. Even so, size 80 should be treated as the main fit reference, and measuring yourself at the intended wear point will give the most accurate idea of fit.
Q: What are the key design details of this piece? A: This vintage Chanel belt features red leather interwoven through a gold-tone chain, a CC logo pendant and a hook closure. It is a statement style that combines the look of a belt with the jewellery-like finish Chanel chain pieces are known for.
Q: What condition is the belt in? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good, with light traces of use noted to the leather. The hardware shows scratches and some discolouration, so please expect normal vintage wear rather than a like-new finish.
Q: Does it come with any original extras? A: No additional items are listed for this piece, so it should be considered sold on its own. Please refer to the product information on this page for the exact inclusions for this item.
Q: Does the missing serial number mean it is not authentic? A: Not necessarily. Vintage Chanel items should be assessed as a whole, including materials, construction, hardware, logo details, hallmarks where present and overall period consistency. A missing serial number alone is not enough to judge authenticity.
Q: How can I style a Chanel chain belt like this? A: A chain belt like this works beautifully over dresses, blazers, knitwear and high-rise trousers to define the waist and add a polished finish. The red and gold combination is especially striking with black, cream, navy, denim and tonal red looks.
Q: How should I care for vintage leather and hardware? A: Keep it away from water, perfume, oils and prolonged direct sunlight. After wear, gently wipe the leather and metal with a soft dry cloth, and store it flat or lightly hung so the chain does not kink and the leather keeps its shape.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: At A Retro Tale, vintage Chanel pieces are checked by specialists who assess materials, workmanship, hardware, branding details and overall consistency with Chanel vintage production.
