Description
Model History:
The wide belt has been a Chanel classic since the 1980s, when the house, under the direction of Karl Lagerfeld, revisited the codes of women’s dressing with strength and modernity. Often used to structure the house’s iconic dresses and jackets, these imposing belts reflect an audacious but always controlled spirit. This white model, with its minimalist aesthetic, continues this tradition while remaining true to Chanel’s understated elegance.
Exterior Details:
White leather, with its smooth texture and slightly satin finish, offers a sharp contrast to the shiny metal buckle. The buckle’s square shape, emphasized by softened angles, is marked at its base by the Maison’s signature double C in tonal relief. Two matching leather loops hold the end of the belt in place. The marked width allows for assertive wear, ideal on flowing pieces or slim-fitting jackets.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined in black leather, with a light grain and soft feel. Hot lettering specifies the model, size (34), manufacturing origin and material (“genuine leather”). The absence of textile or synthetic lining reflects a concern for durability and a desire to preserve the authenticity of the materials used.
Product Condition:
This belt is in very good overall condition. The leather retains its luster, with no deep scratches or visible discoloration. Slight wear marks are present around the adjustment holes, with no impact on structural integrity. The metal buckle shows no noticeable oxidation or scratches, and the Chanel logo remains clearly visible.
Care instructions:
Clean leather with a slightly dampened soft cloth and dry immediately with a dry cloth. Avoid prolonged contact with dark clothing, which may bleed. Store away from moisture and direct light to prevent color fading. Apply a nourishing milk for light leather sparingly, only if necessary.
