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 are the measurements and how does an 80 cm scarf wear?
A: This square scarf measures approximately 80 × 80 cm (about 31.5 × 31.5 in). It’s a versatile mid-size that works beautifully as a neckerchief, headband or bandana, tied to a ponytail, wrapped on the wrist, or styled as a bag handle wrap.
Q: What does the Trotter/Oblique motif mean?
A: The repeated Dior monogram motif is widely known as Oblique, originally created by Marc Bohan in 1967. Many vintage listings also call it Trotter, especially for early‑2000s pieces—the two names are often used interchangeably to describe this signature pattern.
Q: Is the scarf 100% silk and how are Dior scarf edges finished?
A: Dior square scarves are crafted in fine silk, often silk twill, and typically finished with hand‑rolled hems. Hand‑rolled edges look softly rounded with subtle, slightly irregular stitching; please refer to our photos for the specific edge finish on this piece.
Q: How do you authenticate this Dior scarf?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is professionally authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, print definition, stitching, labels and overall construction. Hallmarks often seen on authentic Dior scarves include crisp, well‑registered printing, clean branding, high‑quality silk and neatly hand‑rolled hems. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What is included with my purchase?
A: This listing includes the scarf only. Everything that comes with the item is detailed in the product information on this page. If a Dior box, dust bag or other extras are not listed there, they are not included.
Q: How should I clean and care for a vintage silk scarf?
A: For vintage silk, we recommend professional dry cleaning. If you choose to hand wash at home, first test for colourfastness on a hidden corner, then use cool water with a silk‑specific detergent, do not wring, blot in a towel and dry flat away from direct sunlight. Avoid bleach, tumble drying and prolonged contact with perfume or hairspray.
Q: How can I remove creases safely?
A: Gently steam from a short distance, or iron on the reverse at a low temperature setting using a pressing cloth. Avoid pressing directly on the rolled hems and never use high heat.
Q: Is the colour true to the photos?
A: The palette is navy and white. We photograph our items carefully, but colours can vary by screen and lighting. If you need more visuals to be sure of the shade, our team is happy to help.
Q: Can an 80 cm scarf be worn as a headscarf or top?
A: Yes, 80 cm comfortably ties as a headscarf, neckerchief, wrist wrap or bag handle accent. For wearing as a scarf top, most people prefer larger squares (around 90 cm or more), though creative tying may still allow certain styles with 80 cm.
