A Chanel belt is an accessory that can both elevate your every day denim and T-shirt or be the finishing touch. Can you imagine that this particular belt is 29 years old? It's from the 95P collection and is 24k gold plated. The belt has a long history of use in many different ways, but it became a real fashion statement during the 1990s as it was first featured on the runway by Karl Lagerfeld. Karl featured the Chanel chain over jackets, dresses and even sportswear. The chain was draped and in many cases layered and looked more like Chanel jewellery instead of a 'basic' Chanel belt. The Chanel chain belt has cemented its place as a Chanel seasonal staple.
