Add a playful touch to cocktail parties or date nights with Chanel's CC in Love Heart Belt Bag in purple quilted lambskin and gold-tone hardware. Compact yet chic, it carries your small essentials hands-free, ideal for concerts, gallery openings or weekend city strolls.
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 typically fits inside the Chanel CC in Love Heart Belt Bag? A: It’s a micro belt bag sized for slim essentials. Expect room for a cardholder, folded notes, keys, a lip balm and wireless earbuds. With approximate measurements of 10.5 × 11.5 × 4 cm, it’s best not to overfill to preserve the shape and zip function.
Q: Will it fit my smartphone? A: Generally no. The Heart Belt Bag format is around 11.5 cm across and about 4.5 cm deep; most modern smartphones (even compact models) are too tall. This piece is designed for small essentials rather than a phone.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and is the strap adjustable? A: The CC in Love Heart Belt Bag is designed to be worn at the waist, but many wearers style it as a high crossbody. Adjustability varies slightly by season. For this exact piece we list the strap measurement on this page (approx. 43 cm drop); if you share your height or preferred fit, we’ll advise and can provide additional strap measurements on request.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the layout? A: It features a zip‑around main compartment for everyday security, plus an exterior flap pocket with a CC turn‑lock for quick‑access items. Keep bulky items in the main section to maintain the heart silhouette.
Q: When was this style released and is it still produced? A: Chanel introduced the CC in Love Heart line for Spring–Summer 2022 (22S), including the Belt Bag. The Heart collection has seen seasonal comebacks (e.g., 25B), though availability varies by region and style and not every reissue includes the belt bag. The pre‑loved market is the most reliable way to find specific colours and formats like this one.
Q: Which colours did it come in—does purple sound right? A: Yes. The 22S Heart line was offered in several seasonal colours including black, white, pink, purple, blue and metallic gold. This piece is in purple lambskin with gold‑tone hardware, consistent with the collection palette.
Q: Does it come with an authenticity card? Where is the code located? A: From 2021, Chanel began replacing authenticity cards and hologram stickers with an embedded NFC microchip on a small interior metal plate; during the transition, some 31/32‑series pieces may still have an 8‑digit serial sticker. For this listing, we note an internal serial number under “Accessories”; if a card isn’t listed, it isn’t included. We’re happy to show close‑ups of the plate/sticker and stamps for this exact item.
Q: How should I care for the lambskin and gold‑tone hardware? A: Keep the bag away from moisture and prolonged light, and avoid contact with dark or abrasive fabrics. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth; to reduce the look of very light marks on lambskin, buff delicately in small circular motions. Store it upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and wrap the chain to prevent imprints or hairline scratches on the leather and hardware.
Q: What waist sizes will the belt fit? A: Fit depends on the chain length and your preferred placement (waist or high‑hip). As sizing can vary by season, we can measure the minimum and maximum wearable circumference of this exact piece and advise on crossbody styling on request.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: For this piece, we list: dust bag and internal serial number. If an accessory isn’t mentioned under “Accessories,” it isn’t included. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and serial/microchip details—we stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
