Add a touch of Parisian glamour to cocktail hours and chic dinners with this vintage Chanel leather choker. The pink leather and silver-tone woven chain frame a crystal-embellished CC charm, bringing sparkle to evening looks, while the adjustable fit makes it easy to style with a crisp shirt for daytime events or fashion-week street style.
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 fit and length of this choker? A: It adjusts up to approximately 49 cm and is designed to sit close to the neck. For a comfortable choker fit, measure your neck and add about 1–2 cm; you should be able to slide one to two fingers between the choker and your neck. Because it is adjustable, you can also wear it slightly lower as a short necklace depending on your preference.
Q: Is the hardware solid gold or silver? A: No. Like most Chanel costume jewellery, the metal is typically a plated base metal in gold- and silver-tone finishes rather than solid precious metal. The CC motif on this piece is embellished with crystals for added sparkle.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, while swimming, or during workouts? A: We recommend removing it before bathing, swimming, or exercising. Water, humidity, sweat, and chemicals from soaps or chlorine can dull plating, weaken adhesives on crystals, and dry out the leather.
Q: How should I care for the leather and crystals? A: After wear, gently wipe the leather and metal with a soft dry cloth. If needed, lightly wipe the leather with a barely damp cloth and allow it to air dry away from heat; avoid soaking. Do not use alcohol, harsh cleaners, or oils near the plating or crystals. If you condition leather, use a tiny amount of a pH-balanced leather balm sparingly and keep it off the hardware and stones.
Q: Is it hypoallergenic? A: Chanel costume jewellery can contain base-metal alloys and is not guaranteed hypoallergenic. If you have metal sensitivities, consider wearing it for shorter periods, creating a barrier with clothing or a clear jewellery shield on contact points, and avoid moisture and lotions on the skin beneath the choker.
Q: Will the mixed silver- and gold-tone hardware clash with other jewellery? A: Mixed metals are intentionally versatile and pair well with both silver- and gold-tone pieces. This design makes it easy to style with your existing jewellery in either finish.
Q: How do I store this necklace to keep it in good condition? A: Store it flat in a soft pouch, away from direct sunlight, excess humidity, and extreme temperatures. Keep it separate from other pieces to prevent scratches on the crystals and plating, and avoid hanging it for long periods so the leather does not stretch.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This item is sold without accessories (no box, dust bag, or authenticity card). Everything included is always listed under Accessories on this page.
Q: What is the condition of this vintage piece? A: Very good overall with minor marks on the leather and hardware, consistent with gentle use. Please review the photos and Measurements for the most accurate impression.
Q: How do you authenticate Chanel jewellery at A Retro Tale? A: Each item is examined by our in‑house experts using a multi‑point process that includes materials, construction, crystal setting, closure type, and signature stamps or plaques appropriate to the era. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell and can provide additional images or details on request.
