What are Chanel chains made out of?
1 Answer

What the Chanel chain straps used in many popular handbags are made out of depends on the age of the bag. Prior to 2008, the French luxury fashion house used brass metal plated with 24-karat gold to produce chains. Since then, chains are a base metal with a gold metallic finish.
