ChanelCoco Mark Pearl Chain Belt, Size 90

Q: What does Chanel size 90 mean on this belt?
A: Size 90 generally refers to a fit reference of around 90 centimetres. The best way to check is to measure where you plan to wear it, whether at the natural waist or lower on the hips, and compare that with a belt you already like the fit of.

Q: Can this belt be worn on both the waist and the hips?
A: Yes, this style can work beautifully either way, depending on your measurements and the look you want. Worn at the waist it gives dresses and blazers a more defined silhouette, while worn lower it creates a relaxed vintage feel with skirts, tailoring or denim.

Q: Are the pearls real?
A: No, this piece is described as having faux pearls. That is part of the signature Chanel fashion jewellery look and gives the belt its classic vintage contrast against the gold-tone chain and Coco Mark detail.

Q: How can I style a Chanel pearl chain belt like this?
A: It is ideal for styling over a black dress, blazer, knitwear, or high-waisted trousers and denim. The gold-tone finish and pearl detailing make it especially striking for evening looks, events, dinners, or whenever you want one statement piece to lift a simple outfit.

Q: What condition is this belt in?
A: This item is listed in Very Good condition with a light trace of use. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches, which is typical and expected for a vintage metal belt that has been gently worn.

Q: Does it come with a box, authenticity card, or other included items?
A: No additional items are listed in the product information for this piece. If any included items are present, they will always be stated in the product information on the product page.

Q: How should I care for the faux pearls and metal finish?
A: Handle it gently and avoid perfume, make-up, lotion, water, humidity, and harsh cleaning products. After wearing, wipe it lightly with a soft dry cloth and store it separately from other jewellery or metal items to help protect the finish and the pearl coating.

Q: How is a vintage Chanel belt authenticated?
A: Authentication should never rely on one detail alone. Vintage Chanel belts are usually assessed through overall construction, materials, finish, hallmark details, weight, and consistency of design, and A Retro Tale states that its items are verified by in-house experts.
