Museum-Worthy CHANEL Spring-Summer 1992 runway 24k gold plated Multicolor "Pill" Chain Belt

Documented Runway - Season 28 by Victoire de Castellane for Karl Lagerfeld | A Playful Pop-Art Collector's Treasure

One of the most imaginative and collectible creations from Karl Lagerfeld's Spring-Summer 1992 Chanel collection (Season 28), this extraordinary multi-strand chain belt was designed by Victoire de Castellane, whose whimsical costume jewelry transformed Chanel accessories into miniature works of art.

Designed as a belt, yet equally spectacular worn as a layered statement necklace.

Adjustable up to 42 inches (107 cm)

Inspired by colorful pharmaceutical capsules, this exceptional runway piece features cascading 24-karat gold-plated chains adorned with vibrant enamel pill charms in various sizes and colors, creating a joyful Pop-Art aesthetic that perfectly captures the bold spirit of early 1990s Chanel.

Documented on the original Spring-Summer 1992 runway, this belt was styled layered around the waist and remains one of the most recognizable novelty accessories from the Lagerfeld era. Thanks to its generous length, it can also be worn creatively as a statement necklace or draped accessory.

Today, authentic examples have become exceptionally difficult to source, making this an important acquisition for serious Chanel collectors and tashion archive enthusiasts.
