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 dimensions and finish of this brooch? A: The brooch measures approximately 3 × 9 × 1 cm and is crafted in a silver‑tone finish. It features a safety‑pin silhouette with a bottle cap‑shaped charm and engraved Dior logo, and secures with a traditional pin fastening.
Q: How do I fasten it securely? A: Open the safety pin, pass it through the fabric, then close it until the catch is fully engaged. For best hold, pin through a lapel, seam, or other firmer area of the garment and avoid forcing the pin. Always check the catch is closed before wear and remove the brooch before taking clothing on or off to prevent snagging.
Q: Will a brooch damage my clothes? How can I prevent this? A: Brooches can leave small pinholes in delicate fabrics. To minimise wear, use sturdier fabrics (wool, tweed, denim, felted knits), place the pin through a seam or facing, or add a thin felt backing inside the garment. For very fine fabrics, consider pinning onto a scarf, hat, or bag instead. Magnetic backs and brooch converters exist as third‑party solutions if you prefer to avoid pinholes.
Q: Which outfits does this suit and is it unisex? A: Brooches are gender‑inclusive and versatile. Style it on a blazer lapel, knit jumper, coat, beret, scarf knot, or even on a handbag strap. It also pairs well layered with other pins to create a curated cluster on one lapel.
Q: How should I clean and care for a silver‑tone Dior brooch? A: After each wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth. Avoid water, perfumes, lotions, ultrasonic cleaners, polishing dips, or abrasive agents, which can dull or lift plating. Store the piece dry and individually in its box to prevent scratches and moisture exposure.
Q: Is this brooch suitable for everyday wear? A: Yes, with normal care. As with most plated costume jewellery, avoid contact with moisture, cosmetics, and friction from bags or seatbelts. Remove before exercise or rain and store carefully after use to preserve the finish.
Q: Is this an authentic Dior piece? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and signatures, logo typography, and era‑consistent details. Hallmarks on Dior jewellery vary by period and placement; please review our photos and product information for the specific markings on this piece, and contact us if you would like additional images.
Q: What condition should I expect for this vintage item? A: This brooch is graded Very Good. You may notice minor, age‑appropriate wear such as light surface scratches on the metal; the hardware remains shiny and presentable. Please review the photos for an accurate view of condition.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As listed in the product information, this item comes with a box. If an item or component is not listed there, it is not included.
