Description
History of the Model: This type of belt enjoyed great success in the 1980s and 1990s, periods marked by the strong comeback of opulent accessories in Chanel collections, under the leadership of Karl Lagerfeld. Multi-row belts, inspired by ancient jewelry, combine femininity and power. The lion motif, associated with Gabrielle Chanel’s astrological sign, appears regularly in the house’s creations, reinforcing the symbolic character of this piece.
Exterior Details: The belt is made up of three gold-plated chains, interwoven with black lambskin. The links are large, shiny, and securely attached. The three rows are held by two textured medallions, one adorned with a lion’s head and the other with the CC monogram, both against a background of stylized rays. A final pendant medallion with the logo completes the silhouette of the piece. The hook closure system allows a certain flexibility of adjustment depending on the size or the way you wear it.
Interior Details: The internal structure is based solely on metal chains, without textile lining. The lambskin inserted between the links remains very supple and does not show any cracks. The whole thing forms a fluid but structured accessory, ensuring a balanced fit around the waist or on the hips.
Product Condition: The belt is in very good condition for a vintage piece. The gilding is intact, without notable oxidation, and the leather is well preserved, supple and uniform. The medallions do not show deep scratches, and the relief details are well defined. The hook closure works perfectly. It is accompanied by its original Chanel box, an item particularly appreciated by collectors.
Maintenance Tips: To maintain the shine of the gold metal, it is recommended to avoid any contact with water, cosmetics or abrasive products. Clean gently with a soft cloth after use. Store flat in its original box or an individual pouch to avoid friction and preserve the gilding and the leather.
Why Choose this Product: This triple row Chanel belt is a strong piece of the house’s vintage wardrobe, combining classic codes – interwoven leather, golden chain, logo medallion – and symbolic elements such as the lion. Its structured design and excellent state of preservation make it a sought-after and versatile accessory, both an emblem of 80s elegance and timeless in a contemporary wardrobe. Delivered with its original box, it constitutes a valuable addition for lovers of iconic Chanel pieces.
