Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What is the Christian Dior 80 Oblique Silk Scarf? A: It is a vintage square scarf crafted from 100% silk, featuring Dior’s iconic Oblique monogram in red and navy blue. This piece is labelled Made in Italy and offers a classic, versatile silhouette for everyday styling.
Q: What are the dimensions and what does “80” mean? A: The scarf measures approximately 80 x 80 cm. Dior often refers to this medium square format as an “80,” which sits between smaller 70 cm styles and larger 90 cm carrés. Minor variations can occur on vintage pieces due to the hand-rolled hem and age—please refer to the measurements provided.
Q: Is the design reversible? A: Silk prints typically show on both sides: the face side has crisper definition, while the reverse appears slightly softer. There is no separate contrasting design, so it is not a true reversible, but it can be worn either way depending on how you fold or tie it.
Q: How can I style an 80 cm square scarf? A: This size is perfect for a classic neck knot or bow, a chic headscarf, a hair tie, or as an accent on a handbag handle. It can also be folded into a slim band to wear as a belt or bracelet. The red and navy palette lends itself well to both casual and tailored looks.
Q: Is it unisex? A: Yes. The geometric Oblique monogram and balanced colourway make this a timeless, gender-neutral accessory that suits a wide range of wardrobes.
Q: How should I care for vintage silk? A: We recommend professional dry cleaning only. Avoid contact with water, rain, perfume, hairspray and lotions, which can mark silk or cause colour transfer. Store the scarf flat or loosely rolled away from direct sunlight; if needed, use a cool iron or steamer from the reverse side with a pressing cloth to ease light creases.
Q: Does this item come with the original box or accessories? A: No. This listing is described as “no accessories,” so the original box or dust bag is not included. Please check the photos and Accessories section for the exact inclusions.
Q: How is authenticity verified and will it have a serial number? A: Dior scarves typically feature brand and care labels rather than serial numbers or microchips. A Retro Tale authenticates every item through multi‑point checks of silk quality, print definition, labels and hem construction to ensure it is an authentic Dior piece.
Q: What is the condition of this scarf? A: It is graded “Very Good” with a light trace of use. As with most vintage textiles, minor signs such as faint creasing may be present. Please review the detailed photos and condition report for a full overview.
Q: Can I use a square scarf to wrap handbag handles? A: Yes. Fold the scarf diagonally into a long band, then wrap and knot it around the handle or tie a decorative bow. This adds a personalised touch and can help protect handles from oils and wear.
