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 can I style an 80 × 80 cm silk scarf? A: This piece measures approximately 80 × 80 cm, a versatile square that works as a neckerchief, bandana, headscarf, wrist wrap, belt accent, or tied to a bag handle. You can also fold it into a triangle for classic neck styling or a chic head wrap.
Q: What is the Dior Trotter (also known as Oblique) print? A: The repeating Dior monogram pattern commonly nicknamed Trotter is also known as the Oblique print. It was introduced by Marc Bohan in the late 1960s and has been revived multiple times since, making it one of the house’s most recognisable signatures.
Q: Is this scarf authentic and how do you verify it? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts before listing. Typical markers of genuine Dior silk scarves include hand‑rolled, hand‑stitched hems, crisp print registration, a clear Christian Dior signature, and high‑quality silk and finishing. If you would like additional photos or details, our team is happy to assist.
Q: How should I care for a vintage silk scarf? A: Handle gently. If a care label is present, follow it. Otherwise, we recommend either specialist dry cleaning for silk or a cautious cool hand wash with a dedicated silk detergent after first testing for colourfastness on a hidden corner. Do not wring; press between towels and dry flat away from sunlight. Store flat or loosely rolled in a breathable bag, avoiding perfumes, hairspray, and rough jewellery that could snag the fibres.
Q: Can I steam or iron this scarf to remove creases? A: Steaming is the safest method. Hold a handheld steamer a short distance away and move continuously. If you must iron, use the lowest silk setting, place a clean pressing cloth between the iron and scarf, and avoid direct contact and high heat.
Q: Does this item come with a box, dust bag or other extras? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. This piece is listed without additional items; please review the product information and photos for full details.
Q: Will the burgundy colour transfer or fade? A: As with many richly dyed silks, colourfastness can vary on vintage pieces. Before washing or wearing against light fabrics, test a discreet corner with a damp cotton swab. Avoid heavy moisture, rain, and direct sunlight, and keep fragrances or lotions away from the fabric to preserve the colour.
Q: Is 80 cm large enough to wear as a headscarf or top? A: Yes, 80 cm squares are ideal as headscarves, neckerchiefs, hair ties and bag bows. For wearing as a bandeau or halter-style top, coverage will depend on your frame and tying method; some prefer larger 90 cm squares for more coverage.
Q: What does “Very Good” condition mean for this item? A: This scarf shows light traces of use consistent with careful wear and has been graded Very Good by our team. Please refer to the photos and product information for the exact condition notes of this specific piece.
