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 solid gold? A: No. Chanel costume jewellery brooches are typically crafted in gilt or gold‑plated base metal rather than solid gold. This piece is described as gold‑plated metal with gold‑tone hardware.
Q: How can I tell if a vintage Chanel brooch is authentic? A: Genuine Chanel pieces often feature a signature plaque or stamp on the reverse. Since the mid‑1980s many include season codes (for example, a letter for spring or autumn flanking the CC). Beyond the stamp, look for crisp detailing, quality construction and consistent fonts. All items at A Retro Tale are thoroughly authenticated by our experts; we are happy to share close‑up photos of the hallmark on request.
Q: How should I care for this brooch to keep the finish looking its best? A: Handle with care and avoid contact with water, soap, perfume, cosmetics and cleaning chemicals. After wearing, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth and store separately to prevent scratches. Keep away from humidity and direct sunlight; apply fragrance and lotions before putting the brooch on. A gentle patina may develop over time and is normal for costume pieces.
Q: Will pinning a brooch damage my clothes or handbag? A: Pinholes can mark delicate fabrics such as silk, chiffon or very fine knits, and piercing leather may leave permanent holes. For best results, attach to sturdier areas like a blazer lapel, coat, hat, denim or thicker knit; if styling on a bag, use a strap or an internal seam and consider placing a small piece of felt on the inside as a guard. Magnetic brooch converters are an alternative, but avoid them if you have a pacemaker or similar medical device and keep strong magnets well away from such devices.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: It uses a traditional pin with a rotating safety clasp on the back. Insert the pin fully through the fabric, close the catch until it clicks or feels locked, and periodically check it during wear, especially on thicker coats or knits.
Q: What are the measurements and how does it wear? A: Approx. 2.5 cm (H) × 3.5 cm (W) × 0.4 cm (D). The compact size suits lapels, knit jumpers and coat collars; on very fine fabrics, consider the guidance above to avoid marks.
Q: Can this vintage brooch be re‑plated or repaired? A: Many specialist jewellers can clean or re‑plate costume jewellery and service pin mechanisms. Chanel boutique repair options and availability vary by item and purchase history; for vintage pieces purchased pre‑owned, a trusted independent jeweller is typically recommended.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. This piece is sold without extra items such as a box or dust bag.
Q: What is the condition of this brooch? A: Very Good Condition. The hardware is shiny with light scratches, consistent with gentle wear. Please review the photos for the most accurate view of condition.
