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 material of this scarf? A: It measures approximately 70 × 70 cm and is crafted from pure silk. The print features Céline’s horse‑drawn carriage and Triomphe motifs in yellow and navy, offering a classic vintage look and a soft, elegant drape.
Q: What does the Triomphe motif represent? A: The interlocking double‑C Triomphe was inspired by the chain links that surround Paris’s Arc de Triomphe. First introduced in the 1970s and revived in recent collections, it is one of the house’s most recognisable emblems and often appears alongside the historic carriage motif on vintage pieces.
Q: How can I wear a 70 cm square scarf? A: This size is ideal as a neckerchief, bandana, headband, ponytail ribbon, wrist wrap, or tied to a bag handle. You can also fold it into a slim roll to thread through belt loops or knot it as a small ascot. For full head wraps or larger tops, a bigger 90 cm square is usually preferred.
Q: Is a 70 cm scarf unisex? A: Yes. A 70 cm square works well for anyone as a neckerchief, pocket‑square alternative, or wrist/bag accent. The compact size keeps styling neat and modern regardless of wardrobe.
Q: How should I care for a vintage silk scarf? A: For best results, use a trusted specialist dry cleaner experienced with silk. If you opt for home care, test an inconspicuous corner first, then hand‑wash gently in cool water with a pH‑neutral silk detergent, rinse well, do not wring, and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight.
Q: Can I iron or steam it? A: If needed, lightly steam from a short distance or press on the reverse with a cool iron under a pressing cloth. Avoid prolonged high heat and avoid flattening any rolled hems to preserve the scarf’s profile.
Q: Will the colours bleed or fade? A: Quality silk prints are generally colourfast, but vintage dyes can run if exposed to moisture, heat, or aggressive detergents. Keep the scarf away from rain, perspiration and perfume, avoid soaking, and always dry it flat out of direct sunlight to help preserve vibrancy.
Q: How should I store the scarf? A: Store it clean and completely dry. Lay it flat in a breathable pouch or archival box, or roll it loosely to minimise creasing. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct light to protect the silk fibres and colours.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing is for the scarf only; no accessories are included. Everything supplied is always listed under Accessories on the product page.
Q: Is this piece authentic? A: Absolutely. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, print quality, stitching and labels. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
