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 headband solid gold? A: No. It is crafted in gold‑tone metal, which is a gold‑coloured plated finish over a base metal rather than solid gold. This is typical for Chanel fashion jewellery and hair pieces.
Q: Do Chanel headbands have serial numbers or date codes? A: No. Date codes/serial stickers apply to Chanel bags and small leather goods. Hair pieces and costume jewellery may instead feature a small CHANEL stamp or oval plaque inside; from the early 1990s onward some plaques show the last two digits of the year and a season letter. Absence or presence of a stamp can vary by piece and era.
Q: What head size does it fit? A: It is a classic one‑size headband designed to fit most adults. The approximate inner span is shown in the Measurements on this page (about 11 cm wide × 14 cm high). If you are sensitive to pressure behind the ears, consider shorter wear times or adding discreet silicone ear cushions for comfort.
Q: Is the band adjustable—can I bend it to loosen or tighten the fit? A: It is not designed for manual adjustment. Forceful bending can stress the metal core and may crack or lift the plated finish. For comfort, use soft padding at the tips rather than reshaping the band.
Q: How can I keep a slim metal headband secure on fine or straight hair? A: Add a little texture before placement (dry shampoo or a light mist of hairspray), then anchor with two discreet bobby pins crossed beneath the band just behind the ears. This helps prevent slipping without altering the piece.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone finish? A: After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions, hairspray and cleaning agents. Store it separately in a pouch or box away from humidity and heat to minimise scratches and discolouration.
Q: Will the colour change or tarnish over time? A: Normal use can produce micro‑scratches and gradual dulling of plated finishes, especially with abrasion or moisture. Careful handling and dry, separate storage help maintain the shine for longer.
Q: I have sensitive skin or a nickel allergy—will this be suitable? A: As with most gold‑tone fashion jewellery, the exact alloy/base metal can vary by era and piece. If you are nickel‑sensitive, we recommend limiting prolonged skin contact, doing a short wear test first, and consulting us for any additional details we can provide on the specific item.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this listing, no additional items are included. If you would like clarification, our team is happy to help.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this piece? A: Every item is inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and overall craftsmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share further details on request.
