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 exact measurements, and what does the “55” in the name refer to? A: This piece measures approximately 50 × 50 cm as listed. The “55” in the model name is a style/size reference used in vintage naming; actual measurements on vintage silk squares can vary slightly due to hand finishing and how they are measured.
Q: How can I wear a 50 cm silk scarf? A: It’s a versatile small square ideal as a neckerchief, bandana-style knot, wrist wrap, hair tie or headband, and as a chic handle wrap or bow on a bag. For full head coverage, most people prefer larger squares (around 70–90 cm).
Q: Is it unisex? A: Yes. A small silk square works for all genders—try it as a classic neck knot, tucked under a collar, or wrapped on a tote or briefcase handle for a subtle accent.
Q: How should I store and care for vintage silk? A: Keep it away from direct sunlight, humidity and cosmetics/fragrance. Store flat or loosely rolled in a breathable pouch or box, and avoid rough surfaces and jewellery that could snag the fibres.
Q: Can I wash a vintage silk scarf at home? A: If a care label is present, follow it. When in doubt, specialist dry cleaning is safest for vintage printed silk. If you choose to hand wash, use cool water and a pH‑neutral silk detergent, test for colourfastness first, avoid wringing, then press in a towel and dry flat away from heat and sunlight.
Q: Can I iron or steam it to remove creases? A: Steaming is preferred. If ironing, use the lowest silk/delicate setting, place a pressing cloth between iron and scarf, work from the reverse side, and use light, brief contact—never high heat or direct contact on the silk.
Q: Will colours bleed or fade? A: Colourfastness varies with print and age. Keep silk away from moisture, sweat and perfumes, avoid soaking, and always spot‑test with cool water in an inconspicuous area before any cleaning.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing includes a box. Anything included is shown in the Accessories section; if an item like a dust bag isn’t listed, it is not included—feel free to ask us to confirm.
Q: How do you authenticate this scarf? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, print quality, stitching, labels and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can provide additional photos or details on request.
