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 real gold or silver? A: This is Chanel costume jewellery featuring gold‑ and silver‑tone metal with a textured, hammered finish and the interlocking CC logo. It is not solid gold or sterling silver. If you’d like us to confirm any aspect of the composition for this exact piece, please contact us.
Q: What are the measurements and how noticeable is it when worn? A: The brooch measures approximately 4 cm (height) x 4 cm (width) x 1 cm (depth). It has a statement presence on a lapel, coat or bag without being overly heavy. If you’d like the precise gram weight or an on‑model photo for scale, let us know and we’ll provide it.
Q: How does it fasten and is it secure? A: It has a traditional pin‑back closure. For added security and to protect fabrics, you can use a small brooch stopper/locking clutch and a backing disc or piece of felt on the inside of the garment.
Q: Can I wear it on coats, knitwear, scarves or handbags? A: Yes—brooches work especially well on structured fabrics like wool coats, blazers and denim, and they can be styled on scarves, hats and handbag straps. For delicate fabrics (silk or fine knits), test in an inconspicuous spot and use a backing disc to prevent pulls. Avoid pinning through very soft or delicate leather.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a vintage Chanel brooch? A: Many vintage Chanel brooches feature an oval or round plaque on the reverse stamped CHANEL, often with “Made in France” and a season or collection code. Placement and format vary by era. Please refer to our close‑up photos to see any stamps present on this piece.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Fashion jewellery alloys and platings may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider wearing it over thicker fabric so it doesn’t touch skin directly, or apply a clear barrier product to contact points. Discontinue wear if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.
Q: How should I care for the two‑tone finish? A: Keep it dry and away from perfume, hairspray, lotions and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store it separately in a pouch/box to prevent scratches and minimise friction that can dull the finish.
Q: Can the pin be repaired or tightened? Can it be replated? A: A competent jeweller can typically straighten or tighten the pin and replace a catch if needed; gentle replating may also be possible. Any modification can affect originality and resale value—please ask us for reputable specialists if required.
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. 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.
