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 shape of this scarf? A: It is a square scarf measuring approximately 90 × 90 cm. This versatile size works well around the neck, as a headscarf, tied to a bag handle, or draped over the shoulders.
Q: How does the wool feel on skin, and will it itch? A: Sensitivity to wool varies by person and by fibre thickness. If you have sensitive skin, try wearing it over a shirt collar or turtleneck. A gentle steam can also help soften the hand. If you typically react to coarser wools, consider styling it over clothing rather than directly on bare skin.
Q: How should I clean a vintage wool scarf like this? A: Always follow the care label if present. Many designer wool scarves specify dry clean only. If hand washing is permitted, use cool water and a wool-specific detergent, avoid wringing or twisting, rinse gently, and dry flat on a towel away from heat and sunlight. Do not tumble dry. Light steaming on the lowest setting through a pressing cloth can refresh between cleans.
Q: What can I do about light pilling or fuzz? A: Pilling is normal with wool. Remove bobbles carefully using a fabric comb or an electric depiller on a gentle setting, working with a light touch. Avoid pulling pills off by hand to prevent snags.
Q: How can I style a 90 cm square scarf? A: Popular options include the classic neckerchief (fold into a triangle and knot at the front), the kerchief (knot at the back), a headscarf or bandana, a belt-style waist tie, a handbag-handle wrap, or folded on the diagonal and worn as a light shawl. Experiment to find the knot and drape you prefer.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. Unless a dust bag, box or other item is explicitly listed there, the listing is for the scarf only.
Q: What does Very Good condition mean for this piece? A: Very Good indicates light, careful wear consistent with age, such as minor linting or a subtle trace of use to the fabric or fringe. Please review the photos for the exact condition before purchasing.
Q: Is this scarf authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, labels, and brand markings. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional product information on request.
Q: Is this suitable year‑round? A: A 90 cm wool square is generally light to mid‑weight, ideal for autumn and winter, and also useful in spring or cool summer evenings when lightly draped or knotted.
Q: How should I store it between seasons? A: Clean or air the scarf before storing, then fold it loosely and place it in a breathable cotton bag or pillowcase. Store in a cool, dry, dark space. Avoid long‑term hanging, plastic covers, and strong scents. For moth prevention, ensure items are clean and consider breathable storage solutions rather than heavily scented products.
