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 does size 80 mean on this Chanel belt and what waist will it fit? A: Chanel uses European belt sizing in centimetres. Size 80 indicates approximately 80 cm from the buckle prong to the centre hole, which is about 31.5 inches. As a guide, it generally suits around a 75–85 cm waist depending on where you wear it and your preferred fit. To be sure, measure a belt you already use from where the leather meets the buckle to the hole you fasten most often and select the closest size.
Q: Can I wear this belt at the waist as well as on the hips? A: Yes, but sizing differs by placement. If you plan to wear it lower on the hips, you may need more length than for the natural waist. Measure at the exact spot you intend to wear it (over typical clothing layers) and choose the belt size nearest to that measurement.
Q: Is the belt adjustable, and can extra holes be added? A: The belt adjusts via its existing holes. If you require additional adjustment, a specialist cobbler or leather repair service can usually add a hole neatly. We recommend professional work to protect the patent finish and maintain the piece’s value; DIY punching or trimming can damage the coating.
Q: How should I care for the patent leather? A: Wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove fingerprints and dust, then dry immediately. Use only mild soap solutions or a cleaner specifically made for patent leather and avoid harsh solvents or alcohol that can cloud the glossy coating. Keep it away from heat and prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the shine.
Q: Can patent leather pick up colour transfer from clothing? A: Yes. Patent leather is prone to dye transfer, especially from dark denim and other heavily dyed fabrics. Minimise contact with such materials, address any marks promptly with a gentle clean, and consult a leather-care professional for stubborn transfer to avoid damaging the finish.
Q: How should I store this belt to prevent sticking or marks? A: Store it flat or loosely rolled in a breathable dust pouch, keeping the patent side from touching other leathers or plastics. Avoid pressing the buckle against the leather; you can wrap the buckle in a soft cloth to prevent imprints and hairline scratches.
Q: What is the hardware finish and how do I look after it? A: The buckle is a gunmetal-tone interlocking CC. Light surface marks are normal with wear. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid metal polishes or abrasive cloths, which can affect the plated finish. Store with the buckle covered to minimise rub marks.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything that comes with the piece is listed in the product information. For this belt, a box is included. If an item isn’t listed there, it isn’t included—please contact us if you’d like us to confirm.
Q: Is this belt authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi-point authentication by our in-house experts, including checks of materials, stitching, stamps and hardware. We stand by the authenticity of all items and can share additional details upon request.
Q: Where was this belt made and what is its condition? A: Country of origin is Italy. It is in Very Good condition with light signs of use on the leather and shiny hardware with light scratches, as noted in the product information.
