Q: How does sizing work on this Chanel chain belt? A: This style uses a hook closure that can fasten to any link, making it adjustable for both waist and hip wear. For best results, measure where you intend to wear it and compare with the measurements in the product information.
Q: What does the size 80 refer to on a Chanel chain belt? A: On vintage Chanel belts, a number such as 80 is a nominal size. Chain belts remain adjustable via the links, so the usable length is broader than the tag suggests. Please rely on the actual measurements listed in the product information.
Q: Can I wear it through belt loops or is it meant to sit over clothing? A: Chain belts are most often styled over dresses, blazers, knitwear or at the waist over trousers and skirts. If threading through belt loops, ensure the link size and thickness fit comfortably and avoid friction that could mark leather or fabric.
Q: Can this belt be worn as a necklace or body chain? A: Many owners style Chanel chain belts as necklaces or body chains. Ensure the length is comfortable and the hook is securely fastened to a sturdy link, and avoid tension that could stress the closure.
Q: Can the length be adjusted if it feels long? A: Yes. Because the hook can attach to any link, you can create a drop‑chain effect with the excess or cross the chain back on itself for a snugger fit. We do not recommend permanently removing links, as this can affect originality and future value.
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: Can this belt be worn as a necklace or body chain? A: Many owners style Chanel chain belts as necklaces or body chains. Ensure the length is comfortable and the hook is securely fastened to a sturdy link, and avoid tension that could stress the closure.
Q: Will the gold‑tone finish tarnish, and how should I care for it? A: Gold‑tone plated metal can dull with exposure to moisture, oils and chemicals. Wipe it after wear with a soft, dry cloth, avoid contact with perfume, lotions and water, and store it separately in a cool, dry place. Do not use abrasive polishes; for heavy wear, seek professional cleaning or re‑plating advice.
Q: How secure is the hook closure? A: Hook closures are standard on Chanel chain belts and are secure when properly fastened to a full link. Check that the hook is fully closed and avoid snagging; for extra security during active wear, fasten to a thicker link or loop back through two links.
Q: How can I tell the era of a vintage Chanel chain belt? A: Many vintage belts feature a round or oval signature plaque stamped with Chanel and Made in France; the plaque style evolved by era and can help indicate the period. We authenticate each piece; please contact us if you would like details about the signature on this item.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. If a dust bag, box or other extras are not listed there, they are not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this belt? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamping and date indicators. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
