Description
Model History:
In the 1980s and 1990s, Chanel extended its iconic universe to a line of accessories marked by quilted leather and golden chains, direct echoes of the codes of the house established by Gabrielle Chanel. Belts from this era have become collectibles for their ability to embody timeless elegance with a statement touch. This belt incorporates the key elements of the iconic Chanel bags, notably the quilted lambskin and the interwoven gold chain, strong symbols of the brand’s heritage under Karl Lagerfeld.
Exterior Details:
The black lambskin has regular diamond quilting, stitched tone-on-tone. The “CHANEL” logo is embossed on a portion of the leather, in a sober and balanced typography. The rectangular gold buckle is bordered by a gold brass chain interwoven with black leather, reminiscent of the handles of the house’s classic bags. The belt is approximately 1.5cm wide, with multiple holes for a custom fit.
Interior Details:
The interior of the belt is lined with smooth, non-quilted black leather, guaranteeing comfort and fit. The craftsmanship is visible in the regularity of the seams and the neat and uniform finish of the edges. No visible seams hinder wearing, which increases everyday comfort.
Product Condition:
In very good vintage condition. The leather retains its suppleness and its slightly satiny matte appearance, without signs of use. The gold buckle has an even patina, without oxidation or marked scratches. The embossed logo remains clear and easily readable. No tears are visible on the edges or stress points.
Care Tips:
Store the belt flat or rolled up without marked creases in its dust bag to avoid any deformation of the leather. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and humidity. Occasional leather care using a specific milk for lambskin is recommended to nourish and preserve the suppleness of the material.
Why Choose This Product:
This Chanel quilted leather belt is an iconic accessory that fits perfectly into a vintage or contemporary wardrobe. It embodies the stylistic DNA of the house while offering a touch of subtle distinction. Rare on the market in this condition and with its original dustbag, it constitutes a collection choice for lovers of Chanel pieces from the 80s and 90s, at once elegant, identifiable and durable.
