Description
Model History:
The 1990s marked a turning point for Chanel accessories under the direction of Karl Lagerfeld, who was able to inscribe the house’s codes in revisited everyday objects. Belts became veritable silhouette centerpieces, sporting logos, chains and precious finishes. This model is a perfect illustration of this era: it combines functionality and style with a modernity that spans the decades.
Exterior Details:
Crafted in smooth black leather, the belt offers a supple feel and a slight natural sheen. The golden rectangular buckle, with its twisted look thanks to the interwoven leather, evokes the house’s iconic bags. Several applied “CC” logos stitched in tone-on-tone adorn the exterior, evenly spaced along the entire length. The overall effect is balanced, powerful in detail yet sober and refined.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined with smooth black leather, stamped “CHANEL – Made in Italy” in gold lettering, accompanied by the size 75. The leather loop is tone-on-tone stitched, and the adjustment perforations retain their shape and sharpness. There are no decorative markings on the inside, giving way to a pure finish.
Product Condition:
In excellent condition for a vintage piece, the leather has an even grain with no major flaws. The buckle gilding remains bright, with no loss of plating. The stitched applied exterior logos are perfectly crisp, and the stitching is solid. There is no significant structural wear.
Care instructions:
Protect the belt from moisture and excessive heat. Clean with a soft, dry cloth after use, and occasionally apply a special care product for smooth leather. Store flat or lightly rolled without pressure.
