Q: What is the fit and length of this choker? A: The necklace has an approximate perimeter of 43 cm, so it sits as a true choker at the base of the neck. For best comfort, measure your neck circumference and allow 1–2 cm of ease.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: It closes with a lobster clasp, which allows minor adjustment by fastening to a different link. If you need extra length, a discreet extender of 2–5 cm from a jeweller is a practical option.
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 the length adjustable? A: It closes with a lobster clasp, which allows minor adjustment by fastening to a different link. If you need extra length, a discreet extender of 2–5 cm from a jeweller is a practical option.
Q: What materials are used in this Chanel piece? A: Chanel costume jewellery often combines metal with a gold-tone finish, strass crystals and occasional resin or leather accents. This design features light gold-tone hardware, a black leather woven chain and a lips pendant set with crystal-embellished CC detailing.
Q: How should I care for the plating, crystals and leather? A: Keep the necklace away from water, perfume, lotions and heat; put it on after cosmetics; remove for exercise; store it individually in a soft pouch and wipe gently with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid chemical cleaners, soaking or ultrasonic cleaning to preserve the finish, crystals and leather.
Q: Can I wear it daily or in water? A: It is not water-resistant. Do not wear it in the shower, pool or rain, and avoid prolonged humidity or sweat, which can lead to discolouration or verdigris on plated metal.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin or nickel allergies? A: Many fashion jewellery alloys can include nickel. If you have a known sensitivity, minimise direct skin contact, consider a clear barrier coating on contact areas or nickel-free extenders, and discontinue wear if irritation occurs; consult a dermatologist for personalised advice.
Q: How can I authenticate a vintage Chanel necklace? A: Look for a signature plaque or stamp, quality of construction and dating marks appropriate to the era. Vintage stamps typically show Chanel, Made in France/Italy and season or collection codes. A Retro Tale performs multi-point authentication on every item and can share further product information on request.
Q: Will Chanel repair or replate vintage costume jewellery? A: Chanel boutiques primarily offer repair services for fine jewellery; re-plating of costume pieces is generally not provided. For vintage restoration such as clasp work or stone replacement, specialist independent workshops may assist, subject to the condition of the piece.
Q: How should I care for the leather woven through the chain? A: Keep the leather away from water and oils. If needed, wipe gently with a barely damp soft cloth and allow to air dry fully; avoid conditioners near the metal as residue can affect the plating.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. This piece is currently offered without extras such as a box, dust bag or authenticity card.
