Q: What does Chanel belt size 80 mean? A: In European sizing, the number refers to the length from the buckle prong to the middle hole. A size 80 is about 80 cm (roughly 31.5 in) to the centre hole and is often stamped 80/32. This gives room to tighten or loosen using the other holes.
Q: Will size 80 work for wearing on the waist and the hips? A: Size 80 is intended to close at the middle hole around an 80 cm waist. Most belts have five holes spaced about 2.5 cm/1 in apart, so you typically get around ±5 cm of adjustment. If you plan to wear it on the hips, measure where it will sit and consider sizing up if needed.
Q: How do I check my best size before buying? A: Measure where you’ll wear the belt (waist or hips) with a soft tape; choose the belt size closest to that measurement at the middle hole. Alternatively, measure a belt you already use from the buckle prong to the hole you use most—this length equals your ideal belt size.
Q: What markings should I expect on an authentic Chanel belt? A: Authentic Chanel belts typically have CHANEL and Made in Italy/France stamps on the reverse, plus the EU size (e.g., 80/32). Some styles also include season codes. This piece is labelled Italy. We are happy to provide close-up photos of all markings on request.
Q: Are the stones real, and how should I care for the rhinestones and buckle? A: The Coco Mark buckle is embellished with rhinestones (strass crystals). Keep crystals away from water, perfumes, lotions and hairspray. After wear, gently wipe with a dry, lint‑free cloth and store in the provided dust bag. Do not soak or use ultrasonic cleaners.
Q: How should I care for the black ruched suede leather strap? A: Use a soft suede brush to remove dust and lift the nap. For minor marks, a suede eraser can help; avoid harsh chemicals and heavy moisture. If needed, apply a suede‑safe protector sparingly and store away from heat and direct sunlight to minimise colour fading.
Q: Can Chanel replace missing stones or service this belt? A: Care and repair enquiries for fashion items are handled through CHANEL & moi via boutiques, where feasibility and parts availability are assessed case by case. For vintage pieces where brand service isn’t available, a trusted leather specialist may advise on stone replacement.
Q: Can extra holes be added to adjust the fit? A: We don’t recommend DIY punching—especially on suede—as it can tear fibres and reduce value. If absolutely necessary, consult a professional leather specialist to assess whether discreet, clean holes can be added without compromising the strap.
Q: What is included and what is the condition? A: Included: dust bag, as listed under product information. Condition: very good overall with light signs of use; hardware remains shiny with minor surface scratches. Please review our photos and condition notes for full details.
