Chanel Coco Mark Pin Brooch

Q: What size is this brooch?
A: This Chanel Coco Mark Pin Brooch measures approximately 5 × 1 × 0.5 cm. It has a slim, elegant profile, while the hanging charms add movement and make it feel more statement-making when worn.

Q: How does the brooch fasten?
A: It features a classic pin closure on the reverse. This style is ideal for attaching to lapels, blazers, coats, scarves and other fabrics with a bit of structure.

Q: Will a pin brooch damage clothing?
A: As with any pin brooch, it can leave a tiny hole in very delicate fabrics. For the safest wear, we recommend using it on sturdier materials such as wool, tweed, denim or heavier knitwear, or adding a discreet backing behind lighter fabrics.

Q: What are the main design details of this piece?
A: This vintage design is crafted in gold-tone metal and decorated with multiple hanging charms, including CC logos, four-leaf clovers and a faux pearl. It combines signature Chanel iconography with a playful lucky-charm look.

Q: How should I care for the gold-tone metal and faux pearl details?
A: Apply perfume and make-up before putting the brooch on, and avoid water, high heat and harsh cleaning products. After wear, gently wipe it with a soft dry cloth and store it separately in its box or a soft pouch to help protect the finish and faux pearl surface.

Q: Is vintage Chanel jewellery collectible?
A: Yes. Vintage Chanel brooches are especially sought after because they combine strong house motifs with designs that are no longer in production. Charm-led styles and logo details are particularly popular with collectors and vintage jewellery lovers.

Q: How can I tell whether a vintage Chanel brooch is authentic?
A: Authentication should never rely on one detail alone. Specialists usually assess the signature or plaque together with the weight, construction, finish, pin hardware and overall quality, as well as whether the markings match the claimed era. At A Retro Tale, all items are authenticated by in-house experts before sale.

Q: What product information is included with this brooch?
A: This item includes a box. If any other original product information were included, it would be stated on this product page.

Q: What condition is this brooch in?
A: It is in very good vintage condition with light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny and shows light surface scratches consistent with careful previous wear.

Q: Where was this brooch made?
A: The country of origin label states France, which is consistent with Chanel’s long-standing production heritage for many of its jewellery pieces.
