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: What is the Chaîne d’Ancre motif? A: It is an Hermès house icon created in 1938, inspired by a ship’s anchor chain. The motif appears across bracelets, rings and rigid cuffs and is prized for its clean, graphic links.
Q: What materials is this bangle made from? A: This vintage piece is crafted in black leather with gold‑tone plated metal hardware featuring the Chaîne d’Ancre motif. It is an open cuff design.
Q: What wrist size will a 15 cm circumference suit? A: An inner perimeter of approximately 15 cm generally suits wrists around 14–15 cm depending on preferred fit. Measure your wrist snugly where you wear a bracelet and compare; an open cuff should sit close to the wrist without squeezing.
Q: Is the cuff adjustable or can it be resized? A: No. Open leather cuffs are not designed to be bent or stretched. Forcing the opening can crack the leather or loosen the hardware. If you ever need repair or a professional assessment, Hermès boutiques can advise on available services.
Q: Will the gold‑tone finish wear or tarnish? A: With normal wear, plated metal may develop fine scratches and light rubbing at contact points. Minimise this by removing the bangle before exercise, swimming or household tasks and avoiding direct contact with perfume, lotions and cleaning agents. Store it separately to reduce friction.
Q: Is it water‑resistant or shower‑safe? A: No. Keep both leather and plated hardware away from water, humidity and extreme heat. If splashed, gently blot dry with a soft cloth and allow to air dry away from direct heat.
Q: How should I clean and care for it at home? A: Leather: wipe gently with a lint‑free, dry cloth only; do not use soaps, oils or conditioners. Hardware: lightly buff with a soft, dry cloth; avoid abrasive polishes and chemical cleaners on plated finishes. When not worn, store it in a soft pouch or box, away from light and heat.
Q: Can I stack it with other bracelets? A: You can, but contact with harder pieces (such as sterling silver or enamel) may abrade the leather or mark the plating. If stacking, leave a small gap or pair with softer materials to reduce friction.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If a box or pouch is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this piece? A: Every item is vetted by our in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hardware, stamps and overall workmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional documentation or details on request.
