Q: What is this bracelet made of?
A: It is crafted in high‑gloss resin in black and white with COCO and CC logo detailing. As a vintage Chanel costume‑jewellery piece, it has an open cuff design and was made in France.

Q: Will it fit my wrist?
A: The internal perimeter is approximately 14 cm (about 5.5 in) and the width is about 4 cm. For cuffs, a comfortable fit usually means the total inner circumference (inside length plus the gap) is close to your wrist circumference. Measure your wrist with a soft tape and compare to this measurement for best results.

Q: Is the cuff adjustable?
A: No. Resin cuffs are rigid and should not be squeezed, bent, or forced open, as this can cause cracking. To put it on, slide the opening over the narrow side of your wrist rather than pulling from above.

Q: Can I wear it in the shower or while swimming?
A: It’s best to keep resin costume jewellery dry. Water, soaps, chlorine and salt can dull the surface and may affect adhesives. Remove the bracelet before bathing, swimming, or gym sessions; if it gets splashed, gently dab dry with a soft, non‑pilling cloth.

Q: How should I clean it?
A: Wipe after wear with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth. For light cleaning, use lukewarm water with a tiny amount of mild soap on a soft cloth, then dry immediately. Do not soak. Avoid alcohol, acetone, ultrasonic cleaners and abrasives, which can cloud or scratch resin.

Q: Any care tips for keeping it looking its best?
A: Apply perfumes, lotions and hairspray before putting the bracelet on. Avoid prolonged heat or direct sunlight, which can lead to yellowing or warping over time. Store it separately in a soft pouch to prevent rub marks from other pieces.

Q: How heavy is it to wear?
A: Resin is lightweight compared with metal, so despite its bold 4 cm profile the cuff feels comfortable for extended wear. Take care to avoid hard knocks to protect the glossy surface.

Q: Does this piece have Chanel stamps or marks?
A: Chanel costume jewellery may feature different stamps depending on the era; some vintage pieces have an oval or circular cartouche, while others may show only country‑of‑origin text. The presence or absence of a stamp alone does not determine authenticity; overall construction and details are assessed.

Q: What accessories are included and how is authenticity guaranteed?
A: This item is sold without accessories unless listed otherwise in the Accessories section. Every piece at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, logos and markings.
