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 authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What is it made from? Is it solid gold? A: This is Chanel costume jewellery crafted from gold‑plated metal with the iconic interlocking CC (Coco Mark) design and a quilted pattern. It is not solid gold. If you’d like us to confirm any aspect of the composition for this specific piece, just ask.
Q: How big is it and how will it look when worn? A: The brooch measures approximately 4 cm (height) x 4.5 cm (width) x 1 cm (depth). It has a statement presence without being overly heavy for most garments. If you’d like the exact gram weight or a photo on model for scale, we’re happy to provide it.
Q: How does it fasten and is it secure? A: It features a traditional pin fastening on the back. For extra security or to protect delicate fabrics, you can add a small brooch stopper/locking clutch or place a felt backing disc on the inside of the garment to stabilise the pin.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a Chanel brooch? A: Vintage Chanel brooches typically feature a CHANEL signature and country of origin (often “Made in France”) on an oval or round plaque, though placement and format vary by era and model. Please refer to our close‑up photos to view any stamps present on this piece.
Q: Can I wear it on coats, knitwear, scarves or bags? A: Yes—brooches work beautifully on structured fabrics such as wool coats, blazers, denim and canvas. On delicate fabrics (silk, fine knits), test in an inconspicuous spot first and consider using a backing disc to prevent pulls. If pinning to a handbag, choose a reinforced area or strap to avoid marking delicate leather.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is there any nickel? A: Fashion jewellery alloys and platings may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, wear it over clothing where possible, consider applying a clear barrier product to contact points, and discontinue wear if irritation occurs. We’re happy to advise further if needed.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑plated finish? A: Keep it dry and away from perfume, hairspray, lotions, hand sanitiser and cleaning chemicals. After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store it separately in a pouch/box, away from humidity, to minimise scratches and preserve the lustre.
Q: Can it be repaired, replated or converted? A: A competent jeweller can often tighten or replace the pin/catch, perform gentle replating, and even provide a brooch‑to‑pendant converter if you’d like to wear it as a necklace. Any modification can affect originality and resale value—contact us if you’d like recommendations for reputable specialists.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This brooch is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. Country of origin is listed as France. This listing includes no accessories unless specifically shown or stated. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
