Q: What is this Chanel Coco Mark Tassel Brooch made of? A: It is Chanel costume jewellery crafted in gold‑tone metal with a textured CC logo and a fixed tassel. Costume pieces are not solid gold; Chanel uses precious metals such as 18k gold only for its fine jewellery lines.
Q: How large is the brooch and how does it sit when worn? A: Approx. 8.5 × 5.5 × 1 cm (H × W × D). It wears as a statement piece; the tassel adds movement, so it looks best on structured fabrics that can support its size.
Q: How does the fastening work and is it secure? A: It has a traditional hinged pin with a catch. Close the pin fully and test it before wear. If the catch ever loosens, a professional jeweller can tighten or replace the pin mechanism.
Q: Will a brooch damage delicate fabrics? A: Pinning can leave small holes. To minimise this, attach it to sturdier areas (lapels, seams, waistbands) or add a small felt backing inside the garment. Avoid very delicate silks or fine knits; for such fabrics, consider a magnetic converter rather than piercing the cloth.
Q: Can I wear it on a bag or hat? A: Yes—brooches look great on wool caps, coats, tweed blazers and many fabric bag straps. Avoid piercing fine leather; instead, place it on fabric straps, through reinforced stitching, or on a removable fabric cover or liner.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone finish? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Keep away from water, lotions, perfume and cleaning chemicals. Store separately in a pouch with the pin closed. If it gets wet, blot dry gently and let it air dry fully before storage.
Q: How do I clean it safely? A: Regular buffing with a soft, non‑pilling cloth is best. Do not soak it or use ultrasonic cleaners. Avoid abrasive polishes that can dull the finish or scratch the metal.
Q: How can I date or identify a vintage Chanel brooch? A: Look for an oval cartouche on the back with CHANEL and country of manufacture. 1980s pieces may show collection numbers (e.g., 23–29); from 1993 onwards many pieces show a season letter (A, P, C, V) and year (e.g., 96 A). Stamps alone aren’t proof—consider overall weight, construction and finish.
Q: What accessories are included with this piece? A: This item is offered without accessories. Everything included is listed on this page; please contact us if you need clarification.
Q: How do you authenticate this brooch? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully inspected by our in‑house specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hardware and stamps. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
