Description
Model History:
Oversized logo belts were an integral part of the Chanel aesthetic in the 1980s and 1990s. Reinterpreting the codes of Coco Chanel with a more ostentatious dimension, Karl Lagerfeld transforms accessories into central pieces of silhouettes. This model embodies this era, where the logo becomes a real, assertive, decorative element. The choice of 24K gold-plated metal reinforces the precious and durable aspect of this piece, intended to enhance dresses, suits or casual silhouettes.
External Details:
The belt is made up of round links approximately 3 cm in diameter, articulated by small discreet rings. Each link highlights the CC monogram in an openwork structure, which reveals the fabric underneath when worn. At the end, a hanging medal has the same motif. The clasp attaches to any ring, allowing easy adjustment according to size. The gilding displays a warm tone, typical of 24K plating, with a slightly satin finish.
Interior Details:
The reverse of the links is smooth, without visible engraving, in accordance with Chanel costume jewelry productions of this period. The whole thing is entirely metallic, without the addition of leather or other material. The original box features “CHANEL” markings on the black lid, with an interior suitable for secure storage of the belt.
Product Condition:
The belt is in very good vintage condition. The gold plating is well preserved. The links are all intact, with no twisting or breaking. The clasp works properly, and the final pendant has no notable defects. The box has slight signs of use on the exterior, but remains functional.
Care Tips:
Avoid contact with water, perfumes or cosmetics in order to preserve the gilding. Clean with a soft cloth after use to remove traces of skin or textile. Store away from light and humidity, preferably in its original box to prevent any risk of scratches.
