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: Is this Chanel Coco Mark Brooch authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What is it made from? Is it real gold? A: Chanel costume jewellery brooches are typically crafted from plated base metal in a gold‑tone finish. They are not solid gold unless explicitly stated. If you would like us to confirm any aspect of the composition for this specific piece, please contact us.
Q: How big is it and how noticeable will it be when worn? A: The brooch measures approximately 3.5 cm (height) x 4.5 cm (width) x 0.7 cm (depth). It offers a refined yet visible presence on lapels, coats and knitwear. If you’d like the exact gram weight or a photo on model for scale, just ask and we’ll provide it.
Q: How does it fasten and how can I keep it secure? A: It features a traditional pin closure at the back. For extra security, consider using a locking brooch stopper or a small stabilising disc on the inside of the garment—especially on heavier coats or open‑weave knits.
Q: Can I pin it on delicate fabrics, scarves or handbags? A: Brooches sit best on structured fabrics like wool, denim and canvas. On delicate materials (silk, fine knits), test in a discreet spot and use a backing disc to minimise pulls. If pinning to a handbag, go through a reinforced area (e.g., near a handle base) to avoid marking soft leather.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect, and can they help date the piece? A: Many vintage Chanel brooches carry an oval plaque on the reverse stamped CHANEL, often with the country of origin and a season/year code. Placement and format vary by era. Our listing photos show any stamps present on this brooch.
Q: Is it nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin? A: Fashion jewellery alloys and platings may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, wear it over clothing, consider applying a clear barrier product to contact points, and discontinue use if irritation occurs. We’re happy to advise further.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone finish? A: Keep it dry and away from perfume, hairspray, lotions and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid soaking, ultrasonic cleaners and chemical dips. Store it individually in a pouch or box to prevent scratches.
Q: Can the pin be tightened or the finish refreshed? A: A competent jeweller can often straighten or tighten a pin and perform light replating on costume pieces. Boutique repair options for fashion jewellery may be available at the brand’s discretion and can vary by location and item. Any modification may affect originality and resale value—contact us for reputable specialists.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This brooch is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. It is delivered with no accessories unless specifically shown or stated. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
