Perfect for wedding receptions, cocktail parties or a day at the races, this vintage Chanel Coco Mark brooch in gold-tone adds a refined accent to jackets, dresses or scarves. The signature CC within an ornate, beaded square brings timeless elegance, while the pin fastening keeps it secure for special events and polished everyday looks.
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 size is this brooch and how does it sit on clothing? A: It measures approximately 6 × 6 × 0.4 cm, making it a statement piece that sits flat and secure on lapels, knitwear and coats without feeling heavy. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: What is it made from? Is it real gold? A: This is a Chanel fashion brooch crafted in gold‑tone metal. Most Chanel brooches from the Fashion collections are costume jewellery made from non‑precious metals with decorative elements such as resin, glass pearls or crystals, while Chanel Fine Jewellery pieces are made from precious metals like 18‑carat gold. This brooch is gold‑tone rather than solid gold.
Q: How can I wear and style it? A: Try it on a blazer lapel, centred at the neckline of a crew‑neck jumper, at the shoulder of a dress, on a beret or hat, securing a silk scarf, clustered with other brooches, or clipped to the strap/flap of a bag. Pin through a thicker area of fabric so the brooch sits upright and doesn’t pull.
Q: Will the pin damage delicate fabrics? A: Use care with silks and fine knits. For delicate pieces, pin through a lining, seam, or a reinforced area. You can place a small piece of felt on the inside of the garment as a guard to minimise marks and sagging, and avoid pinning repeatedly in the same spot.
Q: How is the brooch fastened? A: It features a traditional pin with a rotating safety clasp at the back. Insert the pin fully through the fabric and close the clasp until it is secure before wearing.
Q: How should I care for and clean it? A: Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Avoid contact with water, perfume, cosmetics and hairspray, and do not use chemical cleaners or ultrasonic cleaning. Store it separately in a pouch, away from humidity and direct sunlight, to protect the finish and stones.
Q: How can I tell what era it’s from? A: Many Chanel costume pieces carry a signature plaque on the reverse stamped CHANEL and MADE IN FRANCE/ITALY, sometimes with a code indicating the collection and year. However, stamps alone can be copied; correct dating and authentication consider the stamp together with weight, construction, materials and finish. Our team can share close‑ups of any hallmarks on request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. If an item such as a box or dust bag is not listed there, it is not included. Feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: Can Chanel repair or re‑plate a vintage costume brooch? A: Chanel offers after‑sales services for Fine Jewellery; for Fashion (costume) brooches, boutiques may assess repairs case by case and availability can vary by piece and age. Independent specialist jewellers can often replace a pin or clasp if needed. Please reach out to us and we will be happy to advise.
Q: Where was this brooch made? A: This piece is labelled Made in France, consistent with many Chanel brooches produced for the Fashion collections.
